Someone please slow down time. I hate that the month of June is almost over. I want the summer months to drift slowly by instead of flying like the wind. Do you feel the same? Since we can’t do much to slow down the days, I guess the only option is to make the most of every day. For me, that means making time for creative projects. This month at Dukes and Duchesses, like every other, was full of lots of projects and piles of recipes. Let’s take a peek back at the top ten most popular posts in June. These are the posts that you liked the most: the ones you read, pinned, and shared on social media {thank you so much!}.
In June, I built a simple rustic wood star candleholder that makes the perfect centerpiece for the fourth of July, Christmas, or any regular day …
… shared a fresh herb bouquet picked from my garden {it’s the perfect summertime hostess gift} …
… whipped up easy sangria fruit dip made with wine from a Texas winery …
… showed you how to DIY a smart and secure home and use the Iris products for both convenience and security …
… shared a recipe for a sheet pan shrimp boil that’s the best way to entertain this summer …
… made fireworks show fun bags full of goodies that will keep the kids entertained while they wait for the annual fourth of July fireworks show to begin …
… used backyard plants and herbs to make lavender and lavender mint simple syrups …
… then used the lavender syrup to make a delicious, slightly sweet lavender latte …
… and used the lavender mint syrup to make a pitcher of lavender mint lemonade …
… and finally, I made a branded cork coffee cuff that adds a fun and slightly masculine touch to a cup of coffee {and makes a great guy gift!}.
