Sixty is Sweet Garden Birthday Inspiration

I hope everyone is staying cool out there!  I am busy over here planning a few different birthday parties that are coming up, along with being the director at Camp Mom for my three girls.  I wanted to share a look into one of the parties a "Sixty is Sweet" garden party for the one and only Jane of The Garden Girls.  The invitation fits her whimsical style very well!  What is a garden party with out ball jars & hydrangea's, just like the ones that are loaded in Jane's gardens.  Jane sent me a few quick pictures from her outdoors as inspiration as you can see below....

You can see more inspiration on the Pinterest board I started for it CLICK HERE.  We are going to have so much fun styling & celebrating for what has been sixty years in the making!

Again, stay cool & sweet out there!

Peace, Love & Meet us in the Garden~

celebraTORI by Tori Spelling Book Giveaway

I am so excited to announce that I have a fantastic book giveaway this week on my blog!  I love everything about the author, she was an icon from my teenage years on a show about one of my favorite zip codes; 90210!  Since then she has become as I view her a very fun loving and down to earth, wonderful mother, wife, entrepreneur, author, tv producer and party planner just to mention a few....Tori Spelling!

Tori's new book celebraTORI launches today!  I received a copy from her publishers yesterday and I must say I enjoy this book and the reason I believe in it so much is because she is sharing with you easy and creative ways to entertain.  That is exactly what my blog is about!   I believe anyone can be a fabulous host, you just need the right resources and believe in yourself!  This book will help you discover and create to become the fabulous host that you are, Tori shares many secrets and gorgeous pictures through out to help you plan your next party.  You can take a peek into her book here.

Want to win a copy?  In Tori's book she writes about the importance of the invitation to your party.   She writes that it sets the tone and announces the concept of your event.  She also writes that the invitation allows you to stretch your imagination.  Which brings me to how to win a copy of Tori's new book, after the winner is announced it will be shipped from Simon & Schuster.  Recently, I opened an etsy shop selling invitations and other party decor that I create.  Still in its early phases as you will see, but I felt this is just another way to offer my creativity and share my style along with those who purchase from my shop for entertaining.

30th Birthday Cookies & party sign decor

I wanted to share with you bright and creative party décor and 

cookies that I created for my cousin’s 30^th birthday recently.   

The inspiration was so fun; it was the décor of the Garces Restaurant Group 

called Distrito in Philadelphia, PA. 

At Distrito there is a plaid postcard wall (see photo below) 

which ideally lead me to design the plaid cookie favors. 

Along with the cookie favors that were done free hand, you will see the birthday celebration signs that I designed and personalized them with photos of Brian and his family!  All to coordinate with the highly energetic décor of the establishment.  

By the way if you live in the Philadelphia area or any where that there is a Garces Restaurant Group eatery, I highly recommend it.  The food and atmosphere was both equally excellent, I hear great things about all their chefs and places.  I will say that the party quest certainly added flare to my experience there, but certainly a must try!
