Handcrafted celebrations
I have been so blessed by your words of encouragement this week, thanks for being amazing!
To make snow for the Christmas in July shoot I used white paper stars, they looked just perfect strung from a tree above our table. I also used the stars this weekend in the wedding I styled, coming soon:)
You can [...]
I am super excited to share this lovely little photo-shoot I styled as a cool oasis in the middle of our very hot summer. Christmas in July- 115 degree desert style (that was the actual temperature the day we shot)!
It all started with the idea to cool down and cheer up for the summer [...]
Knotted in love, a shower for a lovely bride to be.
The inspiration for this shower came from this article, upon seeing it I just feel in love with the idea of a yarn maze- it is amazing! Although not as long or even an actual maze, I was thrilled at how the backdrop for [...]
Hello. Happy Monday, I am so glad to be back. I was hoping to share the new site design with you today but alas everything in life takes more time than planned. Soon it will be done:)
I styled a sweet bridal shower earlier this month and for brunch we decided to make panini’s. We set [...]
As we close out Celebrate picnic month later today (I will be announcing all the winners in just a few hours) I want to encourage each of us to continue enjoying the summer, resting under trees and making picnics for those we love. Here is a sweet addition I created that will lend a lovely [...]
Knotted in love is the theme for a bridal shower we will be hosting soon. Here is a sneak peak at what I have been working on for the special day.
Yarn flowers…
Placing bouquets of these around the room will bring a fabulous dose of color to our little soiree plus they are cheap, easy, and [...]
The last week in May a sweet girl turned 13 and wanted a mad tea. A very mad tea. So she came as Alice- white gloves and all…
We had a mad tea when the clock struck noon- Red Queen’s orders. The Mad-hatter himself even showed up to celebrate.

We beckoned guests with whimsical invitations [...]
Happy Monday morning, I finally feel like we are coming out of the haze of being sick around here. This will be a fun week, I have DIY’s to show and one more party theme from last month to share.
One of my favorite touches to the Sherbert & Spice Party was our printable guest book, [...]
After all the spicy circles seen in part one transformed our backyard into a truly fun place to be we added a bit of old fashioned charm and of course, the ice cream.
Ice Cream Birthday
A bit of old fashion vintage charm peaked through many of our ice cream birthday design pieces. We washed and sanitized [...]
Sherbert & Spice and everything nice…
This ice cream birthday was pure joy for me to produce. From the inspiration found here to the invitations found here- it was girlie, summer, old-fashioned fun at its best and I am just giddy to share a bit of it with you today.

We are starting with [...]
Tomorrow I am FINALLY going to be sharing the Sherbert & Spice party with you & announcing the winner of our circle guessing contest. If you haven’t given your guess yet- you still have time, here. A hint, someone is really close:)
For today, the perfect picnic printable – a sweet little utensil pouch. A bit [...]
I was keeping this party kept tightly sealed over the past few weeks for good reason. It was a design surprise and happily I can announce that indeed she did say, “yes” just the other day.
And now my lovelies will you also say,¬¨‚Ć “yes” this month, to picnicking outdoors with me?
A few of my very [...]
Another quick sneak peak from the party last weekend. We created a homemade photo booth that was a blast and cost less than $10!
A good majority of my reader questions in the past have been on creating a homemade photo booth cheaply, so here is my long overdue answer for those unanswered questions.
Our homemade [...]
The Sherbert & Spice party this weekend was such a great joy for me. It is one of my favorite designs so far in the 30×30 challenge. I am working with a new photographer Jackie Wonders- who I still cannot believe is shooting for me as her work is insanely amazing. Being awesome takes time [...]
As promised here is the somewhat impractical but oh-so lovely food accessory from the recent sly fox baby shower. May I present for your baking pleasure… bread spoons.
Make impractically lovely bread-spoons yourself…
If you have been around here at all you know that I do not actually “make food”. My spoons start as all my [...]
A few weeks ago I feel in love with this idea of having a picnic club. Shortly after I swooned over this picnic so glamorously designed. My new obsession for picnics has been firmly sealed after seeing this sweetly done urban one early this week.

My own picnic design has quickly followed this new [...]
A baby shower, Sly Little Fox was thrown this weekend with great joy. I just adore Debbie, the mom-to-be. It was a blessing working with her friends and to plan this special evening for her. Baby boy is due in July and his favorite animal is now officially a fox:)
Designing a baby shower, boy style [...]
A part of my reasoning for embarking on the 30×30 challenge is to give myself a chance to learn about what I love and hate when it comes to planning parties. It is working…
I am finding although I kind-of hate the process of cooking and menu planning. I absolutely adore coming up with totally impractical [...]
It all started with a lovely window display, we injected a little old fashion touch + a dab of ice cream and ended up with-
A birthday party, Sherbert & Spice
and everything nice….
Plus this Macaroon shot has me swooning today- so scrumptious and inspiring.
