From the complex and more involved to the sweet and simple…all of these parties are inspiring me lately…First from my sweet friend Robyn..her daughter’s one year birthday! This is Arabelle. She is so loved.
I love the happy colors and mix of pattern Robyn used on the banner. And y’all, their kitchen is SOO unique, what a backdrop!..notice the ceiling, the hanging windows, the door trim!..And of course the adorable family! Robyn sews in the cutest little basement and made all of this, even the cute baby shoes and hair flower! Good job mama!
Next, This amazing baby shower from the Cookie Mondays blog. This party is gender neutral..I love the yellow and the kraft paper accents..Oh how i love kraft paper!
..so much inspiration here..love the black ink on the coke crate AND the “naked” lampshades (Hey Missy didnt we sell a bunch of those for nothing?!)
Next, I just discovered the Jack & Izzy blog..she has a a darlin “Party in the Park” theme that is inspiring …love the circle banner..it’s all so clean and modern.
…but what really blew me away on her blog is THIS party by Suann Song where the little boy dressed up like IKE..as in EISENHOWER/campaign theme..hilarious…
and the favors…
PERSONALIZED STAMPS for each child..wow! This is unique..he is so cute! I LIKE IKE! (I couldn’t resist);;
And last but not least, this mama ALWAYS inspires…and reminds us what it is all about..not the stuff..not the banners and stickers but the PEOPLE!
I love the way she writes about her children. Her post made me slow down and enjoy this week and my boys a bit more!…thanks Lisa! and thanks to all of the mamas + blog that inspire us…not to exhaust ourselves and feel inadequate..not the point but rather to enjoy a new idea and celebrate life! So take a fun idea but leave the stress behind..that is my theme this week…and if it doesn’t all get done, we’ll call it “editing”… well edited design is so chic!
[Pray it doesn’t rain for Henry’s shindig!..if it does, i will send pictures from our garage!]
Wow so much eye candy here! Thanks for sharing all the fun stuff. Think I like the yellow and khaki one the best – love that potting bench with the yellow drink dispenser – and I am right there with you with being in love with kraft paper. I know whatever you get done will be beautiful. Enjoy the special time with your son and family! They grow up soooooo fast.
Such an inspiring post, Holly! You have a great eye and a matchless sense of fun!
what a beautiful, fun post! That little Arabelle is just beautiful and I LOVE Robyn’s kitchen!
ok, you’re seriously killing me with all the eye-candy. i find myself obsessing over my girls’ party that is over 6 months away! Can’t wait to see pics!
