HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLIN


Dallin shared a birthday month with his best friend, Dallin, both turning 8 years old within a couple of  weeks of each other





Dallin was so excited to be baptized. He had been anticipating it for the last year and was so happy when the special day arrived. It took place on his birthday, May 20th, so he will always remember that special day


AT THE PARK WITH FRIENDS





CATERING

Fish Tacos

Roasted cabagge, onions, and asparagus


PARTIES, PARTIES, PARTIES

This Carnival Party Tablescape I have has been so versatile. The bold pop of colors has been perfect for several parties I've hosted.

It was used for an outdoor Movie Night concession stand



And . . .then for an Ice Cream Party for each of my kids classes at school





VINTAGE RUSTIC WEDDING




TEA PARTY

This was a little girl's Tea Party in my front yard

We had hats for the girls to wear

In the upper right corner are pictured the floral poms  I made to go along with the color scheme

We had french macarons, mini cupcakes topped with gumballs
and raspberry mousse parfaits



I was excited to get to use my 3-tiered crystal cake stands

Kaitlyn was happy to have so many little friends over

SPRING BRUNCH

I was excited to welcome spring with a Ladies Brunch at my house
I decided to have a Crepe Bar


And knew I wanted to work birds into the theme. I was so ecstatic that I could finally use my Dwell Studio fabric.

I added some of the eggs to these
maiden hair fern topiaries,
glad to bring some of
nature indoors
I love the natural looking eggs I
found and the rustic pedestal
at a local boutique



I used these gorgeous lanterns to create a mini gardenscape, adding some real flowers with the moss



I made these Tiffany Blue macaroons to end on a sweet note
