Party Planning :: Away to the woods ...

Recently I have been pinning pictures of kids' birthday parties. I think I have had enough of tacky parties that take place most of the time here. Enough of Frozen y'all! Let it go already (sorry, can't help it) It's now time for more creative ideas/themed parties. Recently my sister, Flora threw me a tea-time woodland themed baby shower and I loved the fact that it was not a predictable typical baby boy shower. Perfect for parents who choose not to find out the gender of the child.

Your Story is Art Painted Beautifully ...

This is such an amazing story. This wedding suite was inspired by the song “Painting by Chagall.”

Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity

I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me

You're the moon, I'm the water

You're Mars, calling up Neptune's daughter

We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall

All around is sky and blue town

Holding these flowers for a wedding gown

We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us.

There seems to be an endless sea of people like us

Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets

In our rooms filled with laughter

We make hope from every small disaster

Still everybody says that if they had the chance they'd fly like we do.

Sometimes rain that's needed falls

I am humbled in this city

Everybody says "you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try."

Building a lasting relationship

This is the bomb. I'd love to have this poster in our home 'cos it doesn't hurt to have a reminder every now and then ;-)

Soirée

This fabulous stationery suite {soirée} by Peggy Wong of Blue Pool Road for a wedding shoot is so SO perfectly put together. I simply love the use of unconventional colors, the use of script and bold text. This was the result of a collaboration with an awesome bunch of creatives. When naturally talented people get together, they create magic!
