Halloween Treat Bags

Of course I waited until the last minute to do this! I'm looking for cute and simple treat bag ideas for my son's Mother's Day Out class and I just found these and think they are precious. I just might have to give them a try!

Now I just have to drag myself to Target or Michael's and get them made!

TuTu Party Accessory!

This very girly door wreath is PERFECT for a little girls ballerina party! My longtime friend, Amanda, has always been crafty and she just opened up her own Etsy shop!! She has a few items for sale in addition to the wreath. Knowing Amanda, she will continue to add really cute things!

Fall Centerpiece

I love this fall centerpiece. What I love even more is how easy it is to recreate. All you need is an iron lantern, silk fall leaves and miniature pumpkins which you can pick up at the grocery store. And there you have it!

'Tis the Season!

I know, I know! Halloween has not even come and gone and I'm already thinking, let alone talking, about Christmas!!! I just can't help myself!
My husband keeps laughing at me because for the past month, I have been stalking Barnes & Noble (and grocery stores!) to see if the Christmas magazines have started rolling in. I have a good excuse though! My baby boy turns one on December 16th and I am planning a big birthday celebration. I love reading blogs, but I think it has been a blessing and a curse when it comes to this particular party. Normally, I would have had his party planned out in my head months ago, but I keep seeing so many great ideas, that I never can settle on anything. I think I have finally decided though, so stay tuned for the details to come. I'm so excited! In the meantime, here is an inspiration board I put together with pictures I have saved over the past few months.

Martha Stewart - snowflake cookies, marshmallow favors, coffe & donuts, cake and flowers
The Knot - champagne
Julia Usher - gingerbread favor boxes
And I can't remember where I found the cute snowman punch bowl! If you know, please send the info my way!

Monograms & Silhouettes

Monograms and silhouettes are two of my favorite things! I'm a traditional girl at heart and these are two great classics. This incredibly dainty tea party was featured in the fall issue of St. Louis Entertains.

The doily invitations and paper goodies were designed by Serendipity.

The china rental came from Head of the Table which is a great blog I follow.
