VINTAGE HANKERCHIEF BUNTING

I am hoping you can see this picture?

It is from a real party submission on the Birthday Girl Blog, and I just love the beautiful simplicity of this idea - vintage hankerchief bunting.

Super sweet and what a wonderful way to display your granny's old hankies. Lovely idea for a baby shower, first birthday or even a wedding...

JUST HAD TO SHARE...

Soo, I am breaking with my steadfast rule of only posting about party things today.

I just had to share these pics of my new "statement" necklace that I ordered through Second Look Jewelry on etsy.com. I think it is possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so it's not something that you might wear to the shops, but I have a gorgeous black strapless dress that I am going to wear it with for an upcoming wedding.

Tres tres in love...

TO MARKET, TO MARKET

We will be appearing at the fabulous Mathilda's Markets on Sunday 2 May (http://www.mathildasmarket.com.au/), so if you are in Sydney please come and say hello. Soo many gorgeous things to see and buy.

NEW PRODUCTS IN SHOP

Well, now that the excitement of having a brand spanking new website has subsided a little, time to get back to the real work...

A few new products are going in the shop this week - all Retro Surf Party related.

I am in the midst of planning my son's 2nd birthday party (it's in May - I like to give myself lots of time!). It will be an I LOVE PARTIES (of course) Retro Surf Party and in my search for some extra bits and pieces to add to the Party Pack, I stumbled across these great retro finds. I just had to add to them shop...

Large Galvanized Metal Buckets 5". $6 each.

COOKIES 2

COOKIES

Have I shown you these?

They have to be the most lovely, elegant cookies I have EVER seen. I found them whilst poking around for inspiration for my sister's wedding.

They are from the SweetAmbs shop on ETSY (http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetAmbs). Such a shame she lives in the States...

If you are brave, you might want to attempt something similar for our Garden Tea Party!

EXCITING NEWS!

Apologies for the radio silence the last couple of weeks, but there is good reason...
