My secret dream was to be featured on Hostess With The Mostess again. I owe much to Jenn, the fabulous momma behind HWTM. When I first started blogging and opened my Etsy shop in March 2009, Jenn featured Kate's Lollipop Party. I was over the moon! HWTM is hands down the BEST party site on the web. She always features the most beautiful and creative parties around. I still get a ton of traffic from her Lollipop Party post, and it is still my best selling collection. HWTM was one of the first blogs I followed and I continuously look to it for the best party inspiration.
You can imagine my excitement when Jenn gave me the thumbs up on featuring Kate's Fairy Garden Party!
The post just went up today and I am thrilled!
As part of the post, Jenn is hosting a GIVEAWAY for a Fairy Garden Party Collection!
Many of you have requested the recipe & tips...so here you go!

Custom Crown from True Love Found
I first "met" Kristina from Modern Frills when she offered to send a birthday shirt for sweet Kate McRae (read here). When I received the shirt, it was beautiful! The snowflake design required very intricate details and she did an amazing job. When she offered to create a new design for my Kate's Fairy Garden birthday party, I jumped at the opportunity!
Wardrobe is very important when you are a Fairy Princess and it's your special day! I called in the gals that I have come to rely on to create Kate's birthday attire! Kate's custom rosette tank top was made by Kristina at Modern Frills. She used adorable fabrics in perfect colors for the party! Look at the adorable signature heart on the back! Kristina offers gorgeous, high quality appliqued tops, perfect for parties or everyday. Kristina & I will be working on more designs together in the future to coordinate with my party collections!
What's a Fairy Princess without a special crown? Amy at True Love Found offered to create a custom felt crown for Kate, and I was giddy when it arrived! How perfect is it?!
You probably noticed the gorgeous bright pink flower in Kate's hair! You guessed it...my go-to girl for hair clippies, Mia at Dolce Vita Mia whipped me up a few options for Kate to wear. They were all adorable, but this one was the icing on the cake! Her designs are so gorgeous for you or for your little ones! She just posted some new items in the shop, check them out HERE. 
We talked about the tutus for our little guests already, but Kate's tutu was made especially for her! My mom doubled the thickness of the tulle and added a beautiful satin bow to it. It was so full and "tutu" cute! A perfect combination with the adorable tank top! 
LUCKY YOU....
When I decided on a fairy theme for Kate's party, I envisioned all of the little girls in wings and tutus. I found adorable wings at Halo Heaven, and along with perfect clip-on flowers. When my package arrived, I was thrilled! The wings matched perfectly with the party color scheme. However, one of the packages of flowers I ordered was missing, with no note/email. It took me days to get a hold of someone there, but I finally did just in the nick of time. They sent what I needed and now I can say that I am a happy customer. Their prices are incredible and the products were adorable. Just be sure to order with plenty of time in case they run out of the items you are hoping for! 
I knew that I wouldn't have time to make tutus for all of the girls, so I asked my mom if she would. I sent her the Tutu Tutorial that Joanne created for me, and voila!....she made 16 tutus in a matter of days! She picked up the white tulle in the wedding section of Michael's when it was on sale ($5/100 yards) and did the knotted technique described in the tutorial. We added pink, orange, yellow & green ribbon to tie-in with the colors of the wings and flowers.
My friend Lisa recently threw her daughter a fairy party and had made adorable wands for the girls. She offered to make them for Kate's party and coordinated the colors perfectly! The flowers are the clip-on ones from Halo Heaven, and can easily be removed from the wand to be used as a hair clip! Lisa is working on a tutorial for these, so I will post in the next week or two!
The girls looked so adorable!
All of the details of the dessert table....coming soon!
WOW! I don't even know where to start! I couldn't be happier with how Kate's Fairy Garden Party came together! A big thank you to everyone who helped me make her party perfect! The photos turned out gorgeous, thanks to my dear friend, Vicki of Vicki Lynn Photography. She captured the party perfectly and created the sweetest slideshow that I will cherish forever.
I'm going to be posting several posts about the party, detailing: the dessert table, birthday girl's attire, party decorating, and DIY projects! I will be featuring and hosting several giveaways from Etsy sellers who created fabulous things for the party! So....stay tuned....this is just the beginning!
I told you! I have so many details to share!
