Knights party!

Love looking at boy's themes! What little boy wouldn't want to be a knight for a day?!?

Start with a fun invite! This castle one would be perfect! Feel free to incorporate princesses for the girls coming to the party! Source

Love the bunting and table setup at this party! How royal! Source

Use alternating fabrics to create this amazing table! Add some goblets and shields for the perfect royal meal! (hint: serve chicken legs ;o)  Source

Creating a little castle tent for the kids to play in would be such a fun addition! Source

Every knight needs a dragon to slay! Super fun cake to make for the party! Source and tutorial

My Autumn Brunch!!!

What was supposed to be a Spring graduation turned into a Fall one! I am finally done my Master's program! WOOHOO! I didn't want a graduation party, but I didn't want to not mark the occasion, so I held a small celebratory Autumn Brunch!

I haven't held a party in over a year (gasp!) so I forgot how long everything takes lol... so I didn't get all the details done that I wanted, but I hope you enjoy anyway...

dry goods table...

 Another angle...

 

more shots ;o)

Some of the details...

Drinks with tags - used a planter box I had to hold them!

Cereal dispensers I had, $1 chalkboard from AC Moore's, add a little tag to the milk carafe...

 I took a brown wood frame, dry brushed tan paint on to make it look rustic, then spray painted the glass with chalkboard paint... vala! (don't mind my terrible handwriting lol)

$3 clearance basket turned on it's side give a fun place for rolls...

Simple touches... 

Tied up cinnamon sticks... (from the dollar store!) 

Cinnamon sticks in mason jars for the apple cider punch (wish I had time to put tags on them too!)

Need height? I wrapped books in craft paper and raffia, tada!

Quick leaf hole punch, print out tag and a little twine...

Wrapped champagne (mimosas baby!)

Add citrus to your ice water for a fresh taste and a pop of color!

and of course plenty of hot food, but since they were in buffets... not very interesting to post ;o)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am so grateful for so much this year! Health, happiness, financial stability in a hard economy, great friends and all of you! I am so thankful for all your support! Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

I'll leave ya with a peek at the turkeys I made - not as good as the tutorial, but I think they came out cute none-the-less! The dozen I made for my work auction went for $45 bucks! I was happy ;o)

Night off!

Forgive me but I am cleaning and baking for tomorrow! Hope everyone is having great progress on their "to dos" for tomorrow! hugs!

Vintage touches

I love all the vintage feel of parties I have been seeing this year! Hopefully this collection will help inspire you to add a little vintage Frosting to your next party/event!

This tabletop is pulling on my heart strings! I love the vintage frames (just spray paint a filler board or even the glass with chalkboard paint!) Source

Steal this wedding idea... runners of lace on your table cloth would add that little touch of elegant vintage to your table! Source

Look closely!!! These are coffee filter flowers! How beautiful (and inexpensive!) are these?!? Source and tutorial

the perfect dessert touch are these doily cupcake wrappers! They are made from inexpensive doilies you can pick up at the dollar store! If you aren't having cupcakes, use them as snack cups or to hold sugar packets, etc. Source and tutorial

blogger isn't working!

trying to post but blogger isn't letting me add pics... I'll keep trying! hugs!

More Thanksgiving Ideas/Inspiration

Forgive me but I am making those turkey oreos and I have Thanksgiving on the brain!!! Turkey production line is in full force!

Here are a few more ways to Frost Thanksgiving!


Use apples in fun ways! I love this little centerpiece! And most definitely inexpensive! Just go out into the yard and get to pickin! Source

Speaking of outside, just go gather up some tree branches and put in a nice vase or pitcher - don't worry about going out to buy flowers!

Add simple touches like a ribbon around a cluster of cinnamon sticks on your buffet - remember, it's the details that make it come alive! Source

These candied apples are especially cute with their flower toppers and ribbons! They would make a great favor! Source
