With less than 48 hours to be there, Caroline’s Cakes showed up for me in a big way. I topped the cake with edible flowers and it was ready to serve!

Take off the top— scoop out melon balls and use to decorate a watermelon slice cake — and use the small watermelon for a vase. Just fill with flowers! Which one will you try? #watermeloncake #watermelonvase #tablecenterpiece #watermelonparty
    Invite your friends to an art gallery for light bi Invite your friends to an art gallery for light bites and drinks like we share in The Supper Club book. The perfect combo is @jessicahagenfineart showing art by @huntslonem and absolutely setting a table with matching tableware by @huntshopup Truly a match made in art heaven 🖼️ We combined so many beautiful pieces of tabletop art to reflect the art hanging from the walls. These are behind the scenes snaps. I am heading back to Newport this week to celebrate this shoot and sign books that share these ideas. Entertaining doesn’t always have to be at home- use this idea to celebrate your friends and the beauty that art brings to us everyday! And- hop to it to create a colorful table using the iconic and masterful Hop up Shop plates, glasses, napkins, trays, placemats, serving dishes, bowls- it’s endless and so fun to collect! #huntslonem #hopup #dinnerpartyideas #dinnerpartydecor #dinnerpartyvibes #gathertogether #sipsipsoiree #mysupperclubstyle

Have you been to Newport? Seeing these homes and imagining what it was like to host parties every night was a treat!

    Forum Description

    I love parties with sweet sentiment, and this party is overflowing with it!  Gretchen, of Three Monkeys Studio, hosted this party for her grandmother in honor of her grandmother's 90th birthday!  Now, that is something to celebrate!  I was also touched by the fact that Gretchen said she was inspired by the party I threw for my mom's birthday!  How sweet!  This is one special party for one special (and very loved) lovely lady!

     Reminiscent of her grandmother's zinnia gardens and vintage glass jars, the party theme brought back fond memories shared by the family.  I especially love how the exquisite cookies were customized to say, "Having a Ball Since 1922!"  Gretchen says that epitomizes her grandmother's life and spunky, sassy personality!

    Gorgeous ruffled cupcakes were topped with equally-beautiful zinnia fondant toppers.  Because zinnias were not in bloom at the time of the party, Gretchen and her mom substituted Gerbera Daisies to be a close match to her grandmother's favorite flower.

    The cake was decorated with a simple bunting and looks beautiful against the rosette backdrop!

    Gretchen and her mother baked pies in jars and served them with toppers that read, "Sweetie Pie", and "Ninety is Sweet!"   They were a big hit!

    Each jar lid was decorated with burlap ribbon~

    Gretchen and her mother used her grandmother's lace doilies to decorate the table and doilies bought in antique stores to make a garland.  They also displayed photographs in an antique window topped with a lovely wreath~

    Such a beautiful way to celebrate such a special lady!  Gretchen says there wasn't a dry eye at the party when her sweet grandmother arrived! 

    Thank you for sending the photos, Gretchen!  I am honored to get to share your grandmother's party!  Happy Birthday, Ms. Hattie!
