November!

I always feel old when time moves by too quickly.  It's been an amazing fall this year with great weather and many blessings!  I'm ready for the Thankful/Grateful season of November.

Here is a fall themed table scape I did the other day.

My napkins are folded and sitting up in a wire basket that I found in the Target $ spot area.  It was $3!  I feel particularly proud of that this year.  

My favorite part was using my tree slices as a charger.  I used these tree slices as part of centerpieces for my wedding (4 years ago!!) and now they are spread throughout the house with all kinds of things like vases and candles on top of them.

I also always like to add different heights of interest at a table.  So I turned my brass bowl upside down and set up a dessert plate on top.

I love mixing grey/tans/browns/gold/silver tones together.  I think it makes for a warm comforting feeling.

If you like the printable table decorations you can find them in my etsy shop!  They are so easy to use, you can print them at home and just write names or sweet messages on them and add that extra finish to your fall or Thanksgiving table!

Fall Paper Goods

During my watercolor painting kick I got inspired and started to mix all of these fun fall colors.  There is an artist that I admire who is always sketching with black ink and then going back in to paint with watercolors.  I wanted to try out some of her method here.  I came up with some fall party paper goods with geometric shapes and a floral design.

Above are some food labels.  I just cut inside the gray lines and fold them over in the center.  This way your labels can be double sided and you can mix and match the floral with the geometric sides.

I always cut inside the gray outline here and tape two together with a toothpick in between as another food label.  Or you can hole punch it once at the top and another at the bottom and insert a straw and use it as a name tag for drinks!

Of course I had to have two different options for cupcake wrappers.  The background is a natural watercolor paper texture to give some interest to the fall or thanksgiving table scape.  To print off your own high quality pictures you can purchase them at my etsy site here.

All about that Bass: Part 2

I'm all about that bass....

Well at least the cute paper goods / accessories.  Aren't these printables the cutest?  I'm all about adding to the party.  Get it?

I love excuses to use my tiny vintage plates that never seem practical to use for any occasion.  I guess the non-practicality is what makes them decorative and adorable.

I also like all the possibilities with just a few different paper goods that can be used in so many different ways.

Party Paper Goods

Paper goods can add so much to a party.  They bring a theme together and add color to the party decor. It's such an easy way to dress up the food table.

Circles dressed in the party theme can be added anywhere.  Here I hole punched the top and bottom then slipped these cute paper straws through and now the cocktails have names on them.

Or you can tape a toothpick to the back of the circle and they decorate your sweets table, or label the dish.

Of course you can find it here to purchase!

All About that Bass

I had too much fun making these invitations, yet now I have a certain song stuck in my head!

As the lovely Meghan Trainor said, "I'm all about that bass, no treble.  I'm gonna shake it, shake it, like I'm supposed to do."  

I realize that I'm stating the obvious when I say this is the latest girl anthem.  What a fun theme for any girl-centric party.  I just so happen to know where you can order your own personalized invitations, at my etsy shop!

Now please excuse me, while I conduct my own dance party...

Shockingly PG-13

I know, it's shocking!  I threw a PG-13 rated Lingerie/Bachelorette Party for a friend this summer.  It was so fun to make all of the paper goods for the day.  I made the above invitations, which I found to be quite clever if I say so myself.  I added in the lingerie card into each of the invites so people would buy appropriately.  I also made labels for all of the food!  I mostly found names for the food that fit the theme of the party.  To mention those now would make me blush, so I won't.  

We played one game through out the night and I think the girls really liked it.  Everybody was given a couple of party poppers like the ones pictured above.  I previously printed out little labels with secret words like "Ribbon" and taped them face down to the poppers.  If the guest of honor said your secret word out loud you got to pull the string on the popper.  It really got people talking and funny conversations ensued.
