Save the Date: RNEST's Etsy Craft Party!

RNEST is participating in Etsy's 2014 global Craft Party! 

We have reserved a classroom at the Joann Fabrics in Greece, NY (3042 Ridge Rd W, Rochester, NY 14626) for Friday, June 6th at 6pm.

Etsy's suggested theme is "Recapture: Bring New Meaning to Old Photographs". Bring copies of your old photographs to cut, paste, embroider, or paint on! We will also have copies of vintage photos for people to use!

 While we did make a FB event for the party, we need 25 people to RSVP at the EventBrite page before May 16th (Friday!) in order for us to qualify for Etsy to give us credit to use for supplies. It's free to register! Even if you think you're a "maybe", please register! We need to make it to 25 before Friday! And if you plan on bringing a friend (or family member!), you can reserve 2 or more "tickets".

We're so excited!  

Trash & Treasures Tuesday: Ideas for a Summer Party

Buying a new home means many sweet friends and family members will want to check out your new digs. We've decided to have an all-day, come for as long as you like, outside on the deck, enjoy some treats, housewarming party. I've been poking around Etsy for some ideas... here are a few of my favorites.

These upcycled glass jars with chalkboard fronts are perfect for some extra lighting in the evenings, or for some citronella candles to keep the buggies away. Courtesy of BragginBags.

I adore these coasters, made from upcycled wallpaper samples. They are even New York themed. Love! Courtesy of Burlap+Blue.

This vintage inspired pedestal is perfect for some summer desserts. Made from a candlestick and a plate - simple but so smart! Courtesy of Burlap+Blue, again!

I'm a sucker for garland. This cute set is made from repurposed fabrics and would be perfect on my deck! Courtesy of Green Hot Mama.

Any green tips for having a summer gathering? Leave 'em in the comments!

Peace & thanks,
