Take me out to the ballgame......

Here is a Red Sox themed baseball party I did for my nephew's 1st birthday.

This party was so much fun to put together with the endless possibilites of ideas. Getting ready to do another baseball party for my other nephew this May.

This time it will be a Phillies theme.

I sent a letter to the guest services department of the Red Sox and in a few short weeks, I received a package back in the mail with lots of little goodies for the birthday boy - including this adorable package of Fenway Dirt with a little note for him.

Little touches like this make for a big impression!

Tablescape Thursday - Fiesta!

A few years ago, I hosted a little Mexican night for my family that was visiting. These were mostly items I had a round the house that worked out really well together

for a Fiesta theme.

Now that I am in the midst of planning a Cinco de Mayo party -

I found a little bit of inspiration for some table settings.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Loved this tablescape for St. Paddy's day without being so over-the-top with the usual leprachauns, shamrocks, etc. This was elegantly understated. Hope everyone has a fun day and has a wee bit o'luck!

Mexican anyone?

We are throwing a little "Cinco de Mastalski" Fiesta next month and I have been collecting ideas to get my creative juices flowing. How adorable are these vintage inspired invites from Loralee Lewis? Check out her esty shop, link below.... http://www.etsy.com/shop/LoraleeLewis

Tableware & Tablescapes

I thought this idea was great to use the aluminum disosable take out containers for plates, add a vibrant napkin and voila!

I came across this photo and thought the spanish sodas with the colorful straws looked refreshing. I have seen these soda's at Wal Mart, so I may pick up a few. Not sure how much soda will be drunk, since we will be fully stocked with Don Julio Tequila, Dos Equis Beer and many flavored Margaritas.....

Thought this tablescape was adorable, however, it will be the end of April so we will most likely be inside, but a lot of these cute touches will be used.
