Handcrafted celebrations
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 [...]
Possibly one of my favorite 1st birthday parties ever! Brought to you by The lollipops blog. I am thrilled to be sharing this sweet handcrafted feature today. Once upon a time, a whimsical take on a fairytale theme.
The entire affair is chalkful of DIY inspiration. The tablescape was dressed with vintage aqua and gold china [...]
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 [...]
After a vacation, a sick week and a whole lot of planning, this weekend I am finally feeling serious about getting to work on a couple upcoming summer projects!

Although the Crew-Cuts line may run a bit out of my baby clothes price range, they sure do have extremely inspiring photo styling. Their latest catalog makes taking the kids to the beach this weekend seem like a wonderfully charming idea.
Sticks in the ground, a few old colorful sheets hanging overhead, a towel or two [...]
I held these flowers…
Stood in this church…
Sat on this couch laughing with friends…
Danced this waltz, choreographed by my husband…
Took over this store and treated our guests to our favorite drinks in lieu of a cocktail hour…
… and married this Mr. Right!
A 7 year lapse may be the cause of a few out-of-date design [...]
This kind of day has popped up on me…

Four parties in three weeks starting tonight, I am so looking forward to sharing the designs with you. Signing off now in hopes [...]

I am spent after enjoying a weekend of dirty bottoms, messy faces, tackle kisses & my first ever back-rub given by a baby. Being a mother is by far the sweetest blessing allowed.

In the meantime, ever since posting about our Mother’s Day brunch I cannot help but be inspired by that amazing lady, and her amazing lady, and my husband’s amazing lady, and hers, and on and [...]
This weekend I am feeling inspired by the humble object of tape. Not just any tape. Printed… designed… lovely tape. Tape that is filled with bright and cheery circles. Tape that is easy as pie to put up. Tape that will transform a certain not so lovely area in our home. Here is my stack [...]

Anne asked, “How can you throw a superhero (superman) little boy‚s party and not have it be cheesey for the adults”.
My response- Vintage, Vintage, Vintage….
There is really no way to redeem a superman party with matching plastic cups and a bright red shinny banner, it is cheese-filled by nature. If you want your superman party [...]
