Kool DIY Kicks {& Gardenias} For Memorial Day

Wednesday, May 25, 2016


My crafty daughter has been busy again...



If she's at home,
you can best bet you'll find her with a paint brush in hand,
or working on some crafty, creative project.
...no clue where she gets that from!  ha :)

Ashley also adores anything Lilly P.

Her latest project producing hand-painted Lilly inspired shoes 
{inspiration print below}
 for the patriotic holidays coming up this Summer... starting with Memorial Day.



The pair of white, inexpensive canvas shoes were found at Wal-mart.
For paints, she used small bottles of acrylics, found in the craft department.



Looking pretty cute, huh?



The shot, below, I borrowed from her Instagram post for her etsy shop,
The Southern Brunette1.

She also made the monogram decal and necklace, which are available in her shop.

Maybe I can talk her into making a pair for her momma,
...we'll be twinning at the upcoming celebrations!






My heart did a little flip when I looked out of the window yesterday,
 and noticed the gardenia bushes overflowing with beautiful white blooms!

The pure white, heavenly fragrant flowers are perfect for
a Memorial Day arrangement, don't you think?



The gardenias filled my home with a sweet, fresh aroma,
...and I am loving it!



Hope you all have a wonderful, and safe, Memorial Day!

  1. Rhonda, those shoes are darling! Your daughter has your creative skills for sure.

    I'm jealous of the gardenia. They don't grow well here...something about the acidity of the soil doesn't work. :)

    Oh gardenias...love them. You know my hubby is from Mississippi, so we planted some Gardenias in pots just so he could have the sweet fragrance around our home!
