Holiday Crafting with Capital Society{holiday crafting with capital society}First, I have to admit that I adore Shelli, the owner of Capital Society. She's just a blast to be around. She makes me laugh, inspires me, and has such a great heart. That being said, I LOVE the Capital Society designs! I want to buy everything in the Capital Society store on Etsy. Seriously. Check out some of these photos - or their store - and you'll see why! But, back to our holiday crafting day...
I arrived to an amazing gift - which she designed for me! - and an order of my holiday cards (I obviously needed all of these amazing cards to send to my loved ones).
The table was set with snacks and goodies. I had a yummy coffee with my name all over it. I got to check out some of the Capital Society inventory. The day started off perfectly!
The house was beautifully decorated. You may remember this gorgeous space from the District Bliss-Capital Society photoshoot a few weeks ago.

In my family, we have a tradition where we give out loved ones special ornaments for their trees every year. I gave Shelli a pickle ornament. Even though I actually hate pickles, I love this tradition! You hide the pickle on the Christmas tree. On December 25th, the children (or adults, in this case lol) have to find the pickle before they're able to open any of the gifts. Whoever finds the pickle will have good luck all year - and gets to open the first gift! Rather than running down the stairs to tear open gifts, it allows the children appreciate the ornaments on the tree.

And, then there is the adorable Capital Society sidekick, Jessie. She's so adorable and sweet. I think she was actually sad to see me go at the end of the day!
Then, Shelli explained what our craft was going to be: we were making ornaments with winter potpourri that she'd gotten at the Renaissance Festival for her Christmas tree! Not only would the be adorable, but they were going to smell AMAZING for the whole season!

Let the crafting begin! I set up a tripod with an automatic timer and we got to work!

It was a great day! I'm so glad Shelli invited me! Later, Shelli sent me photos of the ornaments on the tree and they looked beautiful! Thanks for letting me be a part of this fun day!
