on saturday, we celebrated my farmer’s birthday with a backyard barbecue!
we grilled brats & paired them with homemade sauerkraut. we cut up vegetables from the garden, made a caprese salad & shared kettle chips with guests. our guests brought along side dishes & we filled up a wheelbarrow with beer. it was such a good night!
this little get-together cost us next to nothing, but it was so much fun! i pulled together rusty, chippy bits from around our home & paired it with goodies from my party closet – paper goods & party decorations i keep for home celebrations.
we had a dessert table & drink bar on our back patio. i purchased a chocolate cake from the local bakery & put together s’more ingredients for the fire pit in our backyard.
i found this old campfire marshmallow tin at a yard sale this past summer & we have already put it to great use. it’s one of my favorite vintage finds.
i got the hog cups from shindig paperie & decorated the tabletops with zinnias from our flower garden.
it was such a simple party filled with good food & great company in celebration of the best guy!

i’m all about making lemonade from lemons. or in this case, a necklace organizer from rusty metal junk.
we had so much fun shopping with the canning girls (more details to come from our amazing weekend!)! while junkin’ on saturday with the gals, i picked up a rusty ol’ piece with hooks for just $8.
with a leftover can of spray paint, i turned this piece of ol’ junk into a jewelry organizer perfect for my necklaces!
my friends, you never know what you might reinvent from rust & spray paint! happy creating!
