Latte Lovers Bridal Shower + $25 Target Giveaway!

by

If you’ve been following my posts for Target’s “Be Yourself, Together campaign here and here, you know that I’ve been highlighting the unique differences each member of a couple brings to a relationship, and how they find common ground. One thing that both the couples I’ve shared have in common is a love for coffee. So what better theme for a bridal shower than Latte Lovers!

I love showers that have a theme, an interactive element, and of course wonderful gift ideas that go along with both! The perfect gift for this occasion? The Keurig Vue V500 Brewer! It comes with a 12 pack of various coffees and teas, and also makes hot cocoa, iced beverages and more.

 

For the interactive element, whip up some cupcakes and cookies with Caphalon Bakeware, and set up a decorating station with frosting, sprinkles, colored sugars, and more so your guests create their own sweet treats to go along with their lattes!

I hope you’ve enjoyed these ideas for a Latte Lovers Bridal Shower! Now for the giveaway. For your chance to win a $25 gift card, simply visit the Target Wedding Catalog and leave a comment on this post about an item you think would make a fabulous bridal shower gift.

How to Store Embroidery Needles

I have a complicated relationship with my embroidery needles. Which is a fancy way of saying I don’t really take care of my needles at all. Even though I know I have embroidery needles to use for cross stitch and sewing, needles that are certainly still in their packages, I can rarely find them when I need them.

So when I saw this post from Crewel Ghoul about how to store your embroidery needles, it hit close to home for me.

It doesn’t really say anything I didn’t already know, but it is good advice that might also serve as a reminder for you to take better care of your needles when you cross stitch or do other hand-sewing projects so that you’ll be able to find your needles again when you need them.

It would help me a lot if I had a dedicated place to keep needles I’m not using, including the needles that are still in their packages from when I bought them. You’d think I would keep them with my embroidery floss but apparently you would be mistaken about that.

Another good idea for me is to have a place to put needles I’ve been using when I am done with them. Because goodness knows I’m not going to put them back in the package. (Which may actually be a good thing because then I know which one I’ve been using and which ones are fresh. Not that I replace my needles regularly, but still.) I own pincushions but I don’t really use them for anything, which is silly.

Check out the post at Crewel Ghoul to see all the options available for storing your embroidery needles properly. I’d love to hear what you do, especially if you have a better system than I do (which, honestly, would be any system at all).
