Yes, another DIY project. One boutonniere is included with our wedding package, but I wanted to have something for the dads and best man. And then, when I started making them, I could not stop! So now I have more than necessary, but that is okay;
Happy Spring, lovelies! It’s Elizabeth from Stockroom Vintage back to share the latest DIY project I created for Old Time Pottery–this one is perfect for spring and summer brides! I’m madly in love with terrariums. You say moss and mini-glass vessels, and I’m there! These tiny
