{Sweet Customers} Lucia's Sweet Vintage Cowgirl Birthday Party!

I am SO excited to share this party with you! When Erin of Erin Volante Floral Design, a past customer of mine contacted me about her daughter, Lucia's Vintage Cowgirl party...I jumped on the opportunity! I worked on Lucia's Flower Party last year, which Erin did a beautiful job with! Erin was also featured a few months ago on HWTM, for the beautiful fairy party she styled for her older daughter's birthday! Erin sent me a bunch of beautiful inspiration photos for the party and requested a vintage look in pink and blue....and that's just what she got!
She did a beautiful job with this party! Enjoy her lovely photos and ideas!

Is this party adorable or what?? I reminded Erin about Bakerella's Cowgirl Cookies in jars and she did a beautiful job making them! The "Pony Corral" with the stick ponies is too cute! I love all of the vintage touches, especially the ceramic pony on the pink cake! Everything is just beautiful! Thank you, Erin for sharing Lucia's special day!

Our new Vintage Cowgirl Collection will be coming to the SHOP soon!

Stay tuned for our FABULOUS FRIDAY GIVEAWAY this afternoon,
we will be giving away an adorable t-shirt
just like Lucia's from Oh Fiddlesticks!

{Alice in Wonderland Photo Shoot} Welcome to Our Wonderland!

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of collaborating on a creative photo shoot with Laura Winslow Photography. I was asked to style an Alice in Wonderland tablescape and surroundings. Giddy with excitement, I rolled out of bed at 4:15am to load up the car and head to the shoot. It was held at the estate of a well known family in our area. It couldn't have been more gorgeous! What an experience! The entire shoot went off without a glitch, thanks to Laura's organization and fabulous attitude. The girls (and one boy!) showed off gorgeous clothing and accessories. The flowers and baked goods topped off the table perfectly!

I never imagined it would turn out quite this beautiful.....

Thank you to all of the fabulous vendors involved in the styling portion of the shoot!
