{Featured Parties} Little Miss Homemaker Party

We were super excited when Donna of Party wishes contacted us to use our "Jane Baker" Collection. We could not wait to see it come to life. Donna created this adorable 1950's "Little Miss Homemaker" party for her daughter Sheridan's 11th birthday! It was a natural choice as she requested to bake and sew with a few of her close friends. :) We love all of the little details of this party. Donna matched up the colors beautifully with our collection. Read on for more details and images!

WOW...can you believe this was Donna's first attempt at a ruffle cake! Great job and the color is just gorgeous...check out the beautiful DIY cake bunting! Love it! Donna based her party around our Retro Jane Baker Collection, invitation pictured above (available here)...we created a custom banner to match along with party circles. Love the cupcake liner and coffee filter garlands, DIY party hats and milk bottles!

Meet Little Miss Homemaker Sheridan! How adorable is she?! We love the tablescape and the crepe backdrop.

Guests signed a keepsake scrapbook page which included Sheridan's invitation. Donna does this each year for her daughter's birthday's...what a great tradition! Donna created custom aprons adorned with each child's name (tutorial here). The girls received little sewing kits (love how our party circles were carried throughout the party) and the girls made DIY rosette headbands...how cool is that?...what a great activity!

Next the girls MADE LIKE "Jane Baker" and created mini pies...don't they look delicious?!

Two beautiful ladies and one beautiful party! Happy Birthday Little Miss Sheridan...so glad we got to play a small role in your day! Fantastic job Donna!

{As seen on} Amy Atlas Guest dessert feature "Giving Thanks"!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We hope you have a beautiful day with your family. :) We are so thankful for all of you...it means so very much to have you following along.

We got to celebrate Thanksgiving early...and this is how we celebrated. :)

Beyond thrilled to have been featured again on the amazing Amy Atlas Events website "sweet designs" with our "Giving Thanks" table. A big thank you to Amy and Lisa!

In Amy's words:

This party made us want to run outside and frolic in the Central Park leaves. It is very approachable and perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving or fall. We received this submission from Catherine at Serendipity Soiree. Catherine created this fall celebration for her family. She used burlap to cover the table and risers which added to the rustic feel, along with the natural wooded setting of their yard. Sweet treats included homemade chocolate fudge cake, apple pie, baked cake donuts, tiramisu cake pops and owl, cat and leaf sugar cookies. To wash down all of the sweets, apple cider from a local farm was served in county fair mason jars. Great Job.
