Saturday Luncheon


I hosted a little luncheon on saturday for a friend and her family. Nothing big, just yummy food and friends.


For this kind of occasion, you cant go wrong with chicken salad croissants.
(lite mayo, LOTS of chicken, grape halves, celery, green onions, whole cashews & salt & pepper)


Do you know how much I love fruit in the bottom of flower arrangements. I dont know how to do it very well...but I love when people do. Im going to study up on it a little, and then Ill let you know.

The favors were brownie bites (she is famous for brownies) in jewelry bags. How cool those little jewelry zip-locs were the perfect size.

Flower Clips


I've never been a really big fake flower girl, but since I've been loving the flower headbands for women...it got me on a kick to make clips for the girls. Yes they may be big, but I think they are cute. They can clip in a girls hair or onto a headband. Its just a little change from bows.
I just used a little felt circle, put two holes in it to put the clip through...and then glued the flower too it. I think Ill probably make a lot more to experiment with different flowers and colors.

This one is my favorite...just a cluster of tiny roses.

any Pettiskirt experts?

I have been waiting and waiting until I felt like my girls were big enought to make this kind of a purchase worth it...but now, I dont know which to buy?
ok...you have Kaiya Eve, Belle Ame, Ally Girl, and Oopsy Daisy...and then a whole bunch of "pagaent" petties for super cheap.
Does anyone know which is the best? What are the differences by the way?
I'm just getting excited for my girly girls to sport these skirts around town!
I LOVE this picture...and Allison has more of this session here

July Bridal Shower

I have been missing in action this summer...its time that I start getting creative again! I think the Texas heat gets to me!
Miranda did the CUTEST shower for her cousin in law.
Here are some of the ideas and more can be found on on simp-lea

I loved how they used Sparklers as their theme

What a fun favor!

She used that game that I made up where you fill the jar with candy to the line of how well the bride and groom know each other...I love how she divided the skittles by color, and her jar is cute!

The food looked delicious, an array of little sliders, cupcakes, berries, and these cones full of veggie chips.

Silhouette appliques...my new fave!


I was making black and white skirts for the girls, and needed an idea for a shirt...somehow I came up with the silhoutte idea and I think I'm in love! I just googled "silhoutte of little girl" and then put a paper up to my computer screen and traced. I love the little girl blowing bubbles and just shortened her hair to look like Elle's. I am not sure how the sewing part is going to go to keep all the details, but Ill do my best!
