If you follow along on Instagram or Facebook (please do!) you would’ve seen that I had the extreme pleasure of staying at heaven on earth for a fews day, also known as The Knowlton’s amazing Treehouse Retreat. You can visit these posts from last Summer to see it in all it’s glory.

I went with my BFF Emily whom you probably know by now because I’m always talking about her great shop Hello Yellow or Handmade Harvest Craft Show which she puts on twice a year. So as you can imagine between her and I there was some serious craft nerdiness planned for our little retreat. We each brought our own craft project to do while we were there. She made this totally awesome weaving, which I’m 100000% going to try myself and I made these adorable lace string lights.

This is another great example of how you can repurpose those pretty but dated things you find at the trift store or that you grandma gave you but you have no idea what to do with.

So we made ourselves comfortable, poured some of my favourite Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay and this became our designated craft zone in the woods. Doesn’t get much better than that. Wine and crafting go together like s’mores & campfires.

Head over to the Kendall-Jackson Blog to find the full tutorial for these DIY lace string lights and enjoy!
