Today was Fiona’s fourth birthday party and it was a complete success, by her standards and mine. Yes, she got enough Frozen themed party paraphernalia and stuff to satisfy all Frozen itches for a decade. And I got to bask in the knowledge that me and my daughter matter to all these lovely people. The…
This past Saturday at the end of May, I gifted my services to decorate for our friends Paul and Peggy’s Great Gatsby Garden Party. I luckily was also an attendee so I enjoyed spending most of my day in their lovely garden. As I take my party decorations very seriously, in planning my decorations I…
My husband mentions it often. How after he threw me that surprise party, I said I would never forgive him and I’ll never be able to trust hum again. He teases me because it does seem silly. But if you saw me that day break down in overwhelmed tears, you might understand. When I rounded…
Some time ago, Miss Jean asked me to decorate her party tables for an event in August. We are members of a mutual appreciation club. She adores my Christmas trees, has gotten me to decorate a charity event for her, and made my daughter a quilt which now hangs over her dresser. Of course I…
I can say that one of the biggest perks to having a party is the decorating. My long-standing affinity for paper decoration is due to its versatility and low-cost.

Which is to say, you still haven’t seen the pictures of her cupcake face yet. I did show you the party decorations. My paper feathers are still hanging around. See the whole post…
Thursday night was my Nouveau inspired rocking chair‘s coming out party for the Talbot County Maryland’s Humane Society Fundraiser, Rock On Talbot Humane. Held at the Avalon Theater, the thirty painted rocking chairs were on display on stage as the artists and business owners who will be hosting the chairs, looked and mingle and nibbled….
As I was decorating for Fiona’s party, I remembered we had left over helium from her home-coming gifts a year ago. I also had some cream balloons in my stash. Having just bought a copper sharpie, I immediately thought how fun it would be to decorate the balloons with a pattern. I’ve been obsessed with Eamon’s…
My love of fresh flowers is deep and true. When I worked for Pama at Moonvine, I was very lucky to not only spend time with flowers but also learn their names and discover what I loved . And a party is just an excuse to order flowers to play with. I’m such a flower…
