And since I’m not the best at party planning {an unfortunate truth} …
I feel like I’ve DIY’d far too many chokers lately, but this one is just so fun I couldn’t help it. The tassel trim was from my DIY Tassel Curtains {originally in my old office/dressing room and NOW in my Reading Room} and this small pieces was all I had left, so I had to …
