This is one fabulous Strawberry Party!!!  It is fresh, lovely, vintage, and homespun.  With all of that rolled into one, (uber-creative) mom Sara put together a most charming party for her little birthday girl, Annabelle.  Feast your eyes on all of the juicy details of Annabelle’s Strawberry Farm…from The Homespun Hostess!

I am not at all surprised that this adorable birthday girl is all smiles~

Talent runs in the family!  Sara’s sister made all of the sweet goodies at the party.  Take a look at the strawberry cake pops and the cookies!  What a team!  Sara designed and made all of the party paper goods and styled the party.  Notice all of the personalized touches throughout the party handmade by Sara and her sister…

Strawberry milk, of course!

Lunch was served for all of the guests.  Perfectly situated at a long farm table, the children were treated to more berry tasty treats!

Notice the adorable placemats~ and those wooden spoons with SWEET stamped on them!  Sara didn’t leave off any details!

And, the strawberry on the other side!

I love how Sara served all of the lunches in cute red and white containers!  Even the salads had a fabulous farm feel while still being dressed up for the party~

PB&J sandwiches are always a hit- especially when paired with strawberry Crush soda!

Don’t you just love the way Sara personalized berry applesauce by adding a printed circle to the top?  She’s so clever!

The simple gingham backdrop that Sara made to go behind Annabelle’s cake is perfect.  I love the scale of it~

And the INSIDE of it…

Here is the Birthday Girl getting a boost from Mommy!  I love these kinds of photos!

Favors for the guests included red and white flower clips (made by Sara) and homemade strawberry jam~

The sweet little birthday girl in the strawberry tutu that started it all!

Thank you for sharing your daughter’s fantastic party, Sara!  Lucky for us, Sara has opened a shop on Etsy where you can find fabulous party products!

I told you she thought of EVERYTHING!

CAMILLE’S CLUBHOUSE ~ Confectionery, Soda Shoppe, Spa

My daughter had lots of ideas of what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday!  She wanted to have lots of cookies~ and have a soda shoppe ~ and set up a spa for nail painting!  With so many ideas, I knew we should come up with something that would tie it all together.  And, that is how Camille’s Clubhouse became the theme- the Clubhouse is where you can find lots of her favorite things!  We sent invitations with a an insert that had a “password” that had to be unscrambled and brought to the party for “entry”.  That was an easy way to get the guests involved before the party even started!

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!”. 

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! 

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!
