Calling All Superheroes
Marvelous and mind-blowing describe this photo op for a Superhero party. We’ve got all that is needed for a super photo op at a kids party…the superhero cape, superhero mask, phone booth and the sign that is a “visual sound!!” Tiny Tots Toy Hire hosted a fun and jam-packed unisex Superhero (with a twist!) combined birthday party which showcased their gorgeous new range of prop hire along with some amazing goodies by other party related businesses!With the birthday kids being a four year old boy and two year old girl, the props used to theme and style the “Calling all Superheroes: Help Save the Milk Bar!” birthday party were perfectly tailored for both sexes.Make: Cup Flowers
These flowers are made entirely of clear and white plastic/paper cups! They are super easy to make. To inject some magic into any room or dinner party, make a dozen or so, drill holes in the center of each, and attach them to a short string of Christmas lights.
This weekend, I was at the store and happened upon a set of wooden spoons for under a dollar, and immediately knew I needed to take them home and paint them. I love the dip painted spoons i’ve seen on Pinterest, and have been wanting to try a striped version myself. Even though I’m not big on trends, I picked up some neon paint just to try, and I have to say that I think the vivid colors give the spoons a tropical feel. These would be fantastic in solid stripes as well, or my favorite combination of red and aqua! These would make a great cheap hostess gift to take to your next barbecue or picnic, or could be great in a kitchen themed basket gift for a newlywed couple. Here’s what you need:

May 31 by Chiara Alberetti Milott My friend Kate recently celebrated her daughter Scarlet’s 1st birthday.
I know it’s early, but you may want to put on your Fancy Pants, LBBers, because this wedding warrants them. It’s a lovely ballroom filled with so much love, so many flowers, and such ridiculously good style. Seen through Patricia Lyons Photography ‘s lens, the soiree will have you waltzing around your office from the moment you pass into to the gallery . And then you’ll thank me for reminding you to don your Fancy Pants.
