Birthday High Tea

A soiree was held at my house yesterday, hence my lack of posts. The occasion was my birthday (yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy). I had a very sweet High Tea with a few of my girlfriends, and enjoyed the relaxed day that it was. The few days leading up to it was manic, but calm was restored with the beauty of the food, the guests and the table.
Inspired by the wonderful Tracey Lau. The background doily print was by the wonderful Nathalie at Imprintables, and the Flowers were by The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie (my sister in law- I know, lucky- best of the best).
Here is a small collection of the photos- I managed to snap quite a few of the same thing- excuse the shoddy photography- my husband will tell you- I AM HOPELESS WITH PHOTOS!

Imagination...

beautiful innocence and an amazing mum, these photos from Mila's Daydreams

Has it really been that long....

Not too sure where I pulled these from, but if you know, please let me know and I will credit...

Two things I love- One: New England Homes and Two: Transom Windows (this in addition to many other things I love, but these really really really make me weak at the knees, squeal with delight, back of hand to forehead, Love like no other Leo could LOVE!)

It would be my dream to build one of these homes in the area I live in- HOWEVER, I live in an area where the colour of your chipbark (no I am not a fan, but this just shows you how much they govern what you build/ use) has to be approved by the board. The houses are very "Grolloesqe", you will NOT find a flower unless it is at the florist, and it is such a shame that there are no homes with character. Lots of big beautiful homes, but no character (except for the people in them!). So for now, because I LOVE my neighbours I will live in Grollo town and dream of the New England home that awaits me.

Oui Oui Oui

Sipper Cups

Eiffel Tower Centrepiece
I seen these a while ago and think they are fantastic for a children's French Poodle theme party!
Although based in the US, they still ship here, great time, reasonable price postage, ADORABLE products!

Pick On Us...

Let's talk parties again, well why not it is my favourite thing! Today I thought I would talk about "picks" as in things to poke through your food and make it look reaaaalll pretty.

I cam across this US company- such decorative picks- you could do some amazingly creative things with these babies.

I, like many others also love the rock candy sticks, if you are interested in stocking them (just the sticks- no candy), please let me know.


Look at how Amy Atlas has used her swizzle sticks- take two marshmallows, dip them in chocolate and white (or colour of your choice) sprinkles (technical term), and voila!


Locally you can try The Party Studio- she has a collection of bamboo picks and products that are just adorable.

I love the little details, picks and all...
