Haven Creek Happy Box – Indian Summer Entertaining

I have worked with Haven Creek on multiple collaborations but I am SO excited to work with them on their Happy Boxes! So now you are probably thinking…

What is a Happy Box?

Well, its full of happy of course! More specifically, its full on wonderful hand picked and curated items by the owner of Haven Creek – Kristy. This box has all you need to entertain the perfect party so she appropriately named this months box Indian Summer Entertaining.

I was really excited to open my box and start to use everything in my home!

If you have been following me for a period of time you know that when I purchase something I always look at the item and try to think of how I can use that item in as many ways as possible. It is super important to me to make sure that when I am spending money I am spending it on something that will benefit me as much as it possibly can.

So, that is what my goal for these boxes – showing you how versatile and flexible everything is!

Tea Towel & Cheese Board …and more

Yes, I am fully aware that the picture above does not show the board being used in its usual capacity as a cheese board. But, this is what I had on hand and loved the idea of using it as as a platter for zucchini bread that I made the other weekend with my mom.

Think outside of the box! Just because it looks like a cheese board doesn’t mean you have to use it in that capacity.

Next in the box was this awesome tea towel. The colors were a little outside my comfort zone but once I got it in my home I love it! Sure, you can have it hanging on your stove handle lookin all pretty like your other tea towels. When I look at this towel I can’t wait to wrap up a freshly baked loaf of bread for my dining room table when we have company over. Im getting a little fancy over there- lol- but its such a simple way to spruce up your table!

Ceramic Bowls, Candle, Easy-One Step Dip

Ok, I found so many little ways to use these awesome little ceramic bowls. Like, way more ways than I originally anticipated lol.

First thing I used the ceramic bowls for was the easy-one step dip that was in the box. I got the Artichoke Parmesan dip flavor. Let me tell you how easy this dip is…you add two cups of sour cream. Thats it. Yup. Need a last minute appetizer for the game that your husband invited all his buddies over to watch? This will save you. A plus? It is delicious. I snagged some everything bagel pretzel chips and done!

Next I took these bowls on a little different path up to the master bedroom and bathroom. I decided these would be the perfect pieces to organize my hair ties, clips and bobby pins and it made the perfect little addition.

Next thing I did was use the bowls as a jewelry catcher. I threw in some pieces I wear often for each grab and go and loved the pop of color.

Lastly, I moved the bowl to my bed side table as another catch all but this time I put my essential oil rollers in it. I also placed the candle from Tried & True Candle Co. next to it as its the perfect scent for my bedroom. Its a great last reminder of the summertime.

What would you use these bowls for?

“Feed Your Tribe” Wooden Spoon

With this spoon being the featured item I was afraid to use it! It is just so cute and pretty! But, this spoon is more than pretty. Its functional and looks good in your utensil holder.
