If you are missing the snow due to the mild fall we here on the east coast have enjoyed so far you may have been inspired to go with an all white theme to make it feel like the weather outside is frightful. Design Milk recently posted some modern themed decorations and I am simply loving this marshmallow snow.

One of the hottest trends for string lighting are what my daughter calls, fairy lights. These lights make a magical impression. The best part is these lights can be used year round from weddings to birthdays to the everyday. Many of the cooper wire lights are battery operated so there are many interesting uses.
