ombre engagement party

Wow, what a stunning little engagement party full of handmade details and gorgeous colors! Planned and styled by Finch and Thistle Event Design, they chose the perfect combination of accent colors: coral, turquoise, gold (and a little hot pink!). I don't know about you but my jaw dropped when I saw that beautiful ombre cake. Bravo.

new etsy shop!

I’m so excited to tell you about my good friend/stylist/fellow blogger, Kathy, who just recently opened her first Etsy shop! Kathy is one of the most creative people I know and it was only a matter of time before she shared her cuteness with the world. Her shop offers handmade paper banners, pennants and customizable porcelain plates for all occasions. I have to admit, her "yeah baby" banner became an instant favorite of mine (most likely due to the recent "baby fever" that's been going around in my social circles). Check out her shop here.

ice cream cone pinata

What a fabulous idea for a party...it's almost too cute to break! Not to mention strawberry is my favorite flavor ever. Read the instructions on how to make here.
