once upon a time- bee has a 1st birthday party


sis's first birthday party was saturday! our house and hearts had never been fuller for that girl on her special day...so much family and friends there to celebrate. everyone brought books and books for bee and her library. so many amazing books to curl up and read to together! we had lots of sweets and fizzy things to drink...book character masks and a table set up to write a special note to bee in her books. (i'm a firm believer in writing notes in books!)
all in all the day was hot and hectic and funny and sweet...just like our phoebe! my oh my it's been a year...and i can't wait to see what happens next...


shopping list:  floral paper straws // bookplate stamp // alphabet plates // napkins from target // bee's dress-vintage // book props and character masks and garland and bee's party hat are homemade //

  2. What a great birthday idea. I can't believe she is one already!. I love reading notes that were written my books for me when I was little. She will cherish them when she is older.

  25. I am completely new to your blog and let me tell you, I am overwhelmed by how beautiful your photos are (as well as the subject matter :) ). I really can't say enough good things about what I have found here so far, and I want to thank you for adding a major pop of inspiration to my life. Thanks for sharing the beauty in your world, and inspiring me to create some of my own.

  28. Thanks for share this post I also share with you something hope you like my post. We recently used this company for my daughter's Sweet 16 Party. They were awesome and the event turned out great. We wanted to have a hot pink carpet instead on a red carpet and they tracked one down for us at a reasonable price. They worked with us to stay in our budget andKlaus at Tip Top Rentals was very helpful and accomodating to payment structure needs. If you are having an evening event, you really want to use their lighted tables in different colors. I really adds class and beauty to the event. I highly recommend this company. Thanks

  30. Amaaaaazing! Just came across your blog referrenced from A Beautiful Mess, and I love it!
    Ps, your little ones are so so precious. And I gotta say, you're basically a party fairy/goddess. All the pictures I've seen of any celebrations/events, I am just amazed. You're seriously the fairy godmother of making celebrations feel and LOOK magical!
