Happy Valentine’s Day!  Just a quick post today on some pretty perfect party inspiration from around the web last week: Mary Poppins Dessert Table- Amy Atlas LOVE the umbrellas on the back of the chairs.  Chairs are often ignored.   You can easily take your party from good to great by adding appropriate decorations to the them.  Imagine what this party would look like without the

Make It Monday- Party Pedestals

I am in full planning mode for a party I am having next week and I was having a hard time finding food vessels to match my party colors without spending a fortune.  Normally, I use all white plates and cake stands for everything but for this party they simply would not work.  This is probably a familiar project to most of you but it

Happy Friday- Silver and White Party Pizzazz and A Surprise Give Away

I’ve have been waiting to share my silver and white dessert table that I did for my sister’s 25th birthday/new years eve party.  It was featured this week on Pizzazzerie.  I loved working with this color combination.  It was clean, modern, and easy to find things that fit in the color scheme.  White is absolutely one of my favorite colors (black, silver and pink).  Courtney

Make It Monday- Valentine Peeps

Did you think I’d let a holiday pass without a peep project?;)  LOVE the heart peeps for Valentine’s Day.   This simple project is perfect to do with your kids.  It’s easy, fun, and oh so cute!  I did two different peep versions.  Choose the one you like the best.  If you would like the tag with your child’s name on it, I am happy

Happy Friday- What’s in Bloom?

Happy Friday everyone. Isn’t this cake amazing?!?!  Do you recognize it?  A few weeks back, Fairly Odd Mother from Once Upon a Pedestal emailed me to see if she could use my I Love You Alphabet as inspiration for a cake she was making.  I was honored of course and asked her to send me a photo.  I was just absolutely stunned when I saw

Parties in Bloom: Garden Tea Party

Super Inspiration- Touchdown Time

Harriet, a sweet reader, sent me an email asking for some game day ideas.  To be honest, since we always attend a party a friend’s house each Super Bowl, I hadn’t even thought about it. If I were doing a party, this is a game day I would LOVE to host.  Since both teams are red, white, and blue, you must go with the good
