Flowery Flutterby Tea Party

If only we could don cascading tulle tutus, dance with butterflies amongst the daisies, and "pinkies-up"...dive into a teacup cupcake confection every day of the week! Wouldn't we all choose to live inside a 6 year olds world of fancy-nancy, flutterby, tea party goodness? Helping this sweet doll, fulfill her vision of girlishness birthday fun, was a treat in itself. Here are a just a few of the details to sip to!

A Dino-Tastic RAWRING event!

When a little doll of a girl, who sees the world through pink hued kaleidoscope eyes of tutus and all-out girliness, lives and breathes the fantastical world of dinosaurs...what would a mother do for her devoted ones 5th birthday? What any good mama would. And there was born DINO-GIRL. Rosie+Coop helped create Pinkalicious meets Pink-asaurus in an event that marked RAWRING fun for all. Welcome to Dawn of The Dinosaurs–starring Dino-Girl and a precocious creature named Pink-asaurus. (Images captured by +BLINK ).

A very UN-birthday Tea Party

"Lastly she pictured to herself...how she would keep the simple and loving heart of her childhood. How she would gather about her own children one day and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of a wonderland of long ago; and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life and the happy summer days. THE END". In every mother's heart lurks the simple wisdom of beautiful Alice. Her words feel like my own.

With one particular "happy sunny day" in mind, I was asked to help bring to life the most lovely, very un-birthday, birthday TEA PARTY. If anyone can bring back the nostalgic whimsy of childhood novelties...Alice can. Along of course, with the aid of Sir Rabbit, The Queen and the charmed Mad Hatter, in a fitting MADCAP garden tea party for pint sized tots. Guests were cleverly greeted with girlishly sweet Alice hand-stitched aprons and be-ribboned headbands, tarnished teapots and mismatched vintage china teacups. Tiny hands were served High Tea dainties and "EAT ME" sweet treats joyfully under the trees beneath dancing lanterns, for the grandest of UN-BIRTHDAY FUN for 5 year old Elise. Surely we made the refined misfit Mad Hatter proud, in any event! (remember, as always, turn up the volume for optimal viewing).

Sunshine Flower Power BEACH FUN

Daisies for the birthday girl's LOVE of all things flower-power and sunshine, surf, beach bubbles and sweet treats for all to enjoy. It was a summertime classic beach themed event for Happy Birthday Girl Jaida. An absolute pleasure designing this for perfectly lovely you.

Captain Underpants

High in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's CAPTAIN BIG BOY UNDERPANTS! SUPERlicious, SUPERfantastical, SUPERkool, SUPERhero celebration. My youngest toddler recently acquired a membership to the family's BIG BOY CLUB- Master of the Underpants domain. He is our newest superhero in the superhero walk of fame. He runs faster than a speeding bullet (to the bathroom) and leaps over tall buildings (built from stacked tissue rolls) and has superpowers beyond all mommy comprehension with magic underpants on his head. This my friends, deserved a cupcake! With friends and family we celebrated superhero style, powered on magical rainbow goodness, it was an event my little man will not surely forget. He is my benevolent little superhero and I am honored to be his sidekick. Thank you friends for helping me salute my Captain Big Boy Underpants on his very momentous accomplishment in the world of toddlers and superheros. So very proud of you sweet boy... (turn up the volume for toe-tapping, smile-wearing, underpants dancing, superhero kind of fun).

Teeny Wahine Event

The morning sun streams through the window and the birdsongs trill as I type, and along with it comes a comfort and a joy that only the Summertime can provide. I welcome the little seasonal luxuries that beckon lolly lickin', popsicle drippin', splashin' around, sand castle building kind of fun. This is when little girls don itty bitty, teeny weeny bikinis for a wahine luau celebration. It just doesn't get much summery than this! 13 Little Hula's celebrated ALOHA style with birthday girl Jenna, for a flip-flop inspired celebration worth remembering. Thank you Jenna for letting me be a part of your very special event. I loved creating it with you.

   summertime flavored chocolate lolly lickers.
