{Friday Find} Oh La La!

Found...a chic little pillow from the Etsy shop Alexandra Ferguson. Purchased it a while back and I've been meaning to share it with you guys! It now sits happily on a chair in our master bedroom.

Fun, right? She has a bunch of other cute pillows too...

Here's Oh La La in red...bookmark this one for next Valentine's Day!

Loving this one too, cute in a kids room or nursery

And can't go wrong with a simple monogram. I'm thinking one for each member of the family...thrown on the playroom couch upstairs (that we don't own yet, but is calling my name!)

Check out her shop for these pillow and many more!

Happy Friday!

Pretty Smitten with Party Straws

via

Have you noticed these darling striped straws popping up all over the blogosphere? Well I have and I'm totally smitten. I'm so smitten in fact, that I've decided to now offer them in my shop. I think they are the perfect compliment to our Pretty Smitten Party line.

For first birthdays, weddings, showers and more...such a fun and whimsical way to dress up your table.

And not just for drinks!

If you've been browsing in my shop lately you'll notice that these straws are popping up in my party listings.

In our Garden Party...

Our sailor party...

In the Candy Shop...

And in one of our customer favorites, the red wagon party...

And remember, each of these parties can be completely customized....click on any of the parties to see all of our options. You get to pick your theme from a bunch of motifs, or instead choose a monogram....and pick your colors and font!

Straws are available in 9 colors...aqua, grey, pink, green, red, blue, purple, orange and yellow. And for only $4 for 25, they are an inexpensive way to add that pop to your party. Find them here.

Happy Thursday!

Sweet Treats for Easter

Will the Easter bunny be making a visit to your house? He's hopping into ours for sure! I've got Owen and Amelia's Easter baskets almost all set and now I'm now just having fun checking out all of the Easter treats online. So many options!

From Sweetopia...how cute are these flower sugar cookie pops? Make a batch of them and you'll have an adorable cookie flower bouquet. Create them in any color to match your Easter decor! See the full tutorial on Sweetopia's site here.

And this idea for cupcakes in flower pots from Project Nursery is so clever!

Here's a cute way to display jelly beans from Martha Stewart. Again this could be done in so many color schemes.

Or dress up your cupcakes with cotton tails! This one comes from an adorable "Bunny Hop" party featured on HWTM.

Or how about mixing in something healthy....loving this carrot display. Also from HWTM see the full party here.

Happy Monday everyone!

Come sail away...

Finally! Thanks for your patience with me folks, at last I'm getting back to normal again. My shop actually has some items in it! Yippeee!

Last week I gave you a sneak peek of a couple of the parties I set up at my house...it's one of my favorite things to do...design, create and set up party displays! And now I'm excited to share with you all of the photos from my sailor party. Done in a classic bluebell, navy and orange color scheme with a modern chevron pattern, this party would be perfect for a little boy's birthday party or baby shower.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! Would love to know what you think!

A sneak peek

As you many of you know, a couple weeks ago my hard drive crashed. It was a total pain in the behind to make sure all of my files were correct again...but you know what? I think it was also a good thing. I decided to close my shop until the chaos subsided and now I've been keeping inventory limited. I figured if I have to take a little break, might as well make it productive! So last week I did one of my favorite things...I set up a couple little mock parties and photographed them for new listings in my shop. And while you'll have to wait a bit longer to see the full packages...I do want to share with you a little sneak peek...

First up...a modern chevron pattern meets a classic sailboat theme in bluebell, navy and orange. Do I spy a few new party items?

A colorful candy shop, perfect for Spring

And I couldn't resist doing another photo shoot of a Pretty Smitten classic, the red wagon party in bluebell and red. It's a client favorite! Apparently it's also one of my son's favorites. Here he is taking a peek.

Who can resist that sweet face? I can't. So yes, he got a cupcake. He was pretty sure every party was set up just for him...and he kept telling me "ooooh thank you Mommy for my party!"

So thanks for your patience everyone! I'm giving myself one more week to fully re-open my shop...but it will be worth the wait!! Fun new photos and a few new products.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Great deal on Crocs!

Check out Zulily today for a great deal on crocs. My son lives in these during the warmer months! So easy to just slip on and go. I think these bright green ones are pretty cute!

And thanks for your patience while I get my shop up and running again! And it will be worth the wait...today I'm starting a photo shoot for some new party items...stay tuned!!

Here it is again...

See I told you it keeps popping up in party decor...here it is again! This time the lovely Ikea frame is showcased at a gender reveal party featured on Amy Atlas.

Yep, still loving this idea!
