Darling Pink Peonies Picnic Birthday Party

August 28, 2014 · Comments { 1 }

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,

DIY Easter Ideas :: Pinterest

April 4, 2014 · Comments { 1 }

With the Easter holiday just a few weeks away (did it sneak up on you too?), I thought it was time to share some of my favorite DIY Easter Ideas spotted on Pinterest.

How cute are these DIY mini egg pinatas from Oh Happy Day?! Filled with candy, confetti or small trinkets, they would be great party decor as well as the perfect party favor!

Using metal leaf and washi tape, miss renaissance created some of glitziest Easter eggs around. I’ve gotta try this.

Welcome Easter guests with this sweet bunny topiary wreath for the front door. The House That Lars Built used crepe paper, but boxwood branches works too!

Pineapples are trending in home decor right now, so I was drawn to these fun Easter eggs. With a few eggs, green craft paper and bright yellow paint, Studio DIY crafted up these beauties in no time.

These gilded bunny placecard holders are a festive way to set the table for Easter brunch. The Sweetest Occasion simply took plastic bunny toys, wire and gold paint to create them. Love!

Inspired? Me too.

Find these and many more Easter ideas on my Easter and Spring Pinterest board!

happy crafting,

cristin

Our Butterfly Themed Fiesta Party

May 28, 2013 · Comments { 6 }

A few weeks back we celebrated a special event for my daughter. She loves burritos and butterflies so we decided to have a butterfly themed fiesta that included pinatas, dancing and a taco truck. As you may know, I don’t blog or post images of my kids, but wanted to share some of the decorations. The custom multi-colored butterfly table runner was the first item selected and set the lively tone for the event. The bright pink peonies, vibrant Mexican pottery and handmade butterfly garland hanging from the chandelier were my favorite decorations.

The pink butterfly party invite was purchased at Minted.

Loved these individual pinata for the kids! Each child pulls the ribbon and goodies drop out. They would be a fun DIY project, but I purchased them on Etsy.
