party poms

Those of you looking for pre-assembled party poms need to look no further than PartyPoms on Etsy. Love the colors!

party seating fit for a pirate

Check out this table set-up from Baballa! A homemade ship/seating area for all of the birthday boy's guests. Love it.

balloon 'garland'

I love this twist on a garland from MS Crafts.

lantern love

I love- LOVE- this paper lantern installation from in search of the real captain kk. Check out the 'plan'- love her sketch on that grid paper.

lily pond birthday

Lily pond birthday party for twins Nola and Kira right here. (Mom Helen made all the felt decorations and favors!).

i spy: homemade cardboard creations!

I just love all the homemade cardboard creations I'm seeing these days. Remember...

the construction party?

the sailboat?

the castle?

the robot?

bee party

Very cute bee pinata from little b.

baby shower decor

Cute baby shower decor you will want to check out- umbrellas hung from the ceiling with paper raindrops! Kind of reminds me of this trend from last year.

Very clever...more from Becky right here.

bunting

I'm in love with everything about this DIY bunting- the color palette is right up my alley. For directions and the full post, check out project wedding.

kid-sized buffet

I'm still planning to one day replicate the kid-sized buffet in this back issue of Blueprint (pictured in the bottom far right). The 'buffet' appears to be composed of three LACK tables from IKEA (cheap enough to buy just for a party at $8/table) scooted together. How fun would it be to have a kid-sized 'favor buffet' or have small snacks set out their level? Or perhaps an Amy Atlas-inspired mini treat table? It would definitely have to be for the 3+ year old crowd (I can't imagine my almost two year old being able to control himself with a small table of treats), but perhaps something I will contemplate for his next birthday.
