Granny Chic

Yes your Granny had them, under lamps, under her crockery display, on top of the side table as decoration, scattered through out the house - yes we're talking about doilies. Don't laugh, that daggy Grandma decor you used to turn your head away in embarrassment at is now seriously back in fashion!

The modern doily is so versatile.  Doilies are used in so many ways these days and are totally cool!  Use them to give a present a girly touch, wrap one around a candle holder to create a soft glow, make a bunting, or put them in a frame.  The idea's are endless! One look at these gorgeous pictures and we bet you will be raiding Grandma's house in no time!

Valentine themed Engagement Party

Well, we are a little behind with sharing some of our work but as they say 'Better late than never!'  In February, we were asked to style a Lolly Buffet for an Engagement Party.  Since the party was held on the weekend after Valentines Day, the couple decided that the colour scheme would be red, pink and white with a Valentine's Day theme.  We included candy swizzle sticks, white m & m's, truffles, heart chocolates, macarons, jelly beans and lots more.  For a little extra fun, we set up a photo booth with cute speech bubbles that had sayings on them like "Will you be mine?" and "He's cute" etc.  Also included on the table was a vintage frame that had little note card hearts pegged to strands of twine so the guests could write love letters to their partners.  We were told that both of the ideas were lots of fun and their guests had a great time.

Thanks for looking!

Hello Naomi Farm Yard Biscuits

Wow - what a busy few weeks!  We have had a lot happening of late and can't wait to share some pictures of the projects we have been up to.  

We had a hectic weekend with orders as well as Bec's little boy's 2nd Birthday!  We went for the farm yard theme and it turned out so cute!  This theme is perfect for a little boy or girl.  We haven't had much time to edit photo's yet, so we will leave you with a picture of the farm yard animal biscuits and cake toppers that the lovely Naomi from Hello Naomi created for our party.  So cute!  Can't wait to show you the whole table soon.

Introducing Mason Jars

We love glass jars of all shapes and sizes, so when we saw these gorgeous mason jars it was hard to resist stocking them in our shop.

 

Take a look at how you can style a mason jar to suit your special event!

  

Tip 1: Add some lemon pieces to the mason jar, top with drink of choice and some lemon twine & a swing tag around the lid.

 

Tip: Wrap a piece of brown paper lined with waxed paper around the mason jar, secure with some brown twine and fill with chocolate milk.

 

Tip: Tie a piece of ribbon and tape around the mason jar and add a swing tag by securing it with a pearl ended pin.

 

Hope you love the mason jars as much as we do.
