Nothing says summer like blackberries, and I love bringing a flower pot full of berries to a Fourth of July celebration. This hostess gift is yummy, unexpected, easy, and affordable! Blackberries are only in season for a short time and so they are a real treat.
They aren’t just for the Fourth of July- change the ribbon and liner and use it for any summer party.
AND, if you are the hostess…serve them in these adorable little pots for the children big and small. Everyone loves their tiny size~ and they look so cute on THE PASTRY PEDESTAL.
The tiny terra cotta pots already have a hole in the bottom and so they fit perfectly onto the pedestals.
The cute paper circles on the bottom of the pedestals are from LAUREN MCKINSEY DESIGNS.
All of these pots of berries are easy to assemble. I found the terra cotta pots at Michael’s. The waxed paper liner for the pots are from Michael’s in the baking section. Regular tissue paper and regular waxed paper will work too! Ribbon is also from Michae’s~
Super easy, super fun, super affordable!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time! My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun! Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes! For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor! So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!
LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party! For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style! So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan! It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN! Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
