Party: Father’s Day

With Father’s Day coming this weekend we thought we’d bring some inspiration.  This cute vintage Father’s Day themed party by LAURA’S little Party is perfect.  Check out her post here; most of the items belong to her grandfather or great grandfather.  How cool is that?  I love when parties are personal and have so much meaning behind the decor. 

Hope everyone has a happy Father’s Day weekend, I will be having fun celebrating my dad, my father in law and my super awesome hubby.  You men are all amazing!

Cheers: Petits Fours

This weekend is big.  My sweet Zeda girl turns 4 and we have a few parties lined up.  First, a little Tea Party tomorrow afternoon with her favorite little girl friends.  I’m working hard today getting everything baked and organized and these little beauties are on the list!

They seem so easy and look so pretty; I’ll let you know how they turn out.

From Amy Atlas in Country Living:

“People will swear these are from a fancy bakery,” says Atlas of this tempting shortcut. To follow her lead: Use a serrated knife to cut the crust off a pound cake, then slice the cake into one-inch squares. Place them on a cooling rack with parchment paper underneath, pour icing over the squares, and let set for an hour. Atlas’s 60-second icing recipe? Mix four tablespoons of water to two cups of sifted confectioner’s sugar. Tint the mixture by stirring in a bit of gel food-coloring.

I’m off to start these Petits Fours!

Stay tuned, I’ll be writing much more about her birthday in the next couple of weeks.

Party: Ava’s Pinkalicious Party

edits182My sweet sweet niece, Ava, is turning 3 and this little spitfire is a total Princess.  What better way to celebrate her than a PINKALICIOUS party!

For those of you who haven’t heard, there is a book series called Pinkalicious and if you haven’t guessed it; Pinkalicious loves PINK.  Here is a quick summery from Pinkalicious:

Pink, pink, pink! More than anything, Pinkalicious loves pink, especially pink cupcakes. Her parents warn her not to eat too many of them, but when Pinkalicious does . . . she turns pink! When the pink does not wash off, she is told by her doctor to eat only green food to get better. Instead, she eats just one more pink cupcake! Pinkalicious has gone too far this time and in order to return to normal, she knows just what she has to do.

This sparkling picture book celebrates all things pink while showing that being yourself is best of all.

It is such a cute book and makes for a great party theme.  Our little Ava doesn’t need to be pink to be beautiful…she already is and so was her special day!
