The Sweetest Occasion

Today I am loving these cute DIY party hats created by Michele of Cakewalk and recently featured on Birthday Girl. With their ruffled trim made from inexpensive crepe paper they are the perfect little project for your next birthday party. They can easily be coordinated to your color palette or theme by picking paper to [...]

I discovered these adorable paper animals by mibo this week and just had to share them for those of you planning a kids party or birthday celebration. These cute make-them-yourself paper animals are available on mibo’s site either fully assembled or as PDF templates you can download and assemble yourself. I love the cute illustrations [...]

Spied recently on Sweet Paul, I love the look and feel of these simple strings of shells for a beach wedding or seaside celebration. Carefully use a hammer and nail to pound small holes into each shell and then string together with twine or string. Use shells collected together or from past family vacations for [...]

While I still love them, I think it’s time we make room for their updated counterpart, the crepe paper flower pomader. How adorable are these? They’d be perfect as decor, for flower girls or the [...]

I don’t know about you, but with the 4th of July just around the corner I am in full-on summer party mode! I just love great summer parties. In the backyard, at the beach or at a local park, summer entertaining ranks high on my list of loves. With that in mind, I worked with [...]

Sometimes it really is the simplest things that I find the most inspiring. Take these DIY mason jar lanterns – they are so simple yet so pretty . With a tea light inside and hung from a tree they are the sweetest addition to any backyard party.
