Do you remember my Michaela who interned for me a few years ago? Her grandmother always told her to dream big and dream she did. Last year, Michaela and her friend Ashley launched The Bloom Workshop. And not surprisingly it’s been a huge success! The hands-on workshop was designed for creative women who are eager to learn about blogging, social media, photography, interior design and styling. Our goal is to share our knowledge on how each of these topics work together to help take blogs or businesses to the next level. Bloom’s mission is to help fuel women’s creative passions, establish authentic community, and help each attendee feel confident in their small business or blog. With special sessions on the specifics of blogging, social media best practices, design, styling and photography, a styled photo shoot to practice the skills guests just learned, and a Q&A session with a panel of experts this is a great opportunity for all eager to learn, network and hone creative skills.

Friday Finds :: 5 Favorites
It took me a couple days to get back into the swing of things around here. But we are back to our routine with the kids back at school and me back to work. Fortunately, I love what I do, so it wasn’t that hard to get motivated again. Speaking of motivating, I’ve rounded up five favorite articles and images I came across this week – had to share them with you!

Darling Pink Peonies Picnic Birthday Party
Pink peonies are favorite, so I had to share this adorable picnic birthday party of little Mila I spotted on Pinterest.
How cute are the little gold crowns on each chair, fringe streamers and diy pinata letters spelling out the birthday girl’s name?!
Love the little biodegradable birch wood plates from eco-gecko topped with kumquats. And check out those gorgeous pink peonies in full bloom.
Donuts instead of cake or cupcakes? Why not.
At the end of the table a pair of drink dispensers from Pottery Barn are placed for guests to serve themselves. So simple.
Adorable right? For more images and links associated with this party, visit 100 Layer Cakelet!
happy entertaining,
cristin
