Vintage Birthday Party
Hello sunshine, this was the greatest, lazy sunday afternoon birthday party ever....so relaxed, easy going, enjoyable time with some friends and great cake buffet. When I searched for a nice idea for my birthday party, there were always blogs with this vintage fair birthday party theme and I loved it! In Germany we don't have these kind of country fairs, so I tried to adopt the theme and built some other stuff around it. Most important thing for me is always the sweets & treats table (the empty spot on the upper right from the cake buffet is reserved for the cinnamon rolls - they were still in the oven). To get the country feeling I added some ponies and also ribbons patched on linen fabric to the table. Not to forget the homemade cherry lemonade in some vintage bottles with doily labeling. The surprisingly fantastic weather was enough reason to put everything out on the porch: cushions, blankets, even the decorated floor-lamp, ballons, the paper baubles, a Hello Kitty pinata, everything was set up outside... We did some crafty thing as well: I provided embroidery hoops, fabrics, lace and stuff and all ladies were sitting in the sun doing some needlework.
Fabric covered Tea Pots
I love the book "Everything Alice" and this idea comes from the book: Cover up your old and no longer used plates, pots, bowls, etc with nice fabric cuttings. I used glue which is supposed for wallpapers. At the end it turned out to be a really quick and easy thing, and so convincing! what do you think? do you like it as much as I do?
Cookie Decoration with Rosey Sugar
Finally - the cookie decoration movie is finished, and I love it! As usual, it took my hubby quite some time to finish it (getting up every morning very early to work on the movie before regular work...and in the evening: sitting in front of the mac until midnight...)
But: even the cookie queen Rosey is now impressed of the movie, and what more can we wish for? but now: relax and watch three amateurs and one pro doing some cookies....
Cute Wooden Spoon Stamping
Yes, ladies....I am in the busy, busy mood today....need to prepare things for my birthday party in two weeks. I started yesterday already with my old lampshade (not finished yet, some stuff I need to buy tomorrow when shops in Germany will be open again...), and today I am finishing the cutlery....as you can see: not only provided me Shop Sweet Lulu with this cute wooden spoon. no, you can also add some kawaii stamps on it....quickly done and sooo cute....love it!
Decorating Cookies with Rosey Sugar
After a sleepless night, counting the minutes down and totally excited, the day finally came: the cookie queen herself, Rosey Sugar flew all the way from Tokyo to Germany, just to let us join a tutorial with her....until the last minute I was not sure, if she really gonna pop up at our house, but, yes, she really did.
As you can see from our faces - we are just about to start with preparing the icing. EASY! and so excited!...we still do believe, that we can manage to prepare some pretty, cute and nice cookies today, well, just like the cookie queen!! - well, our skills in the baking area are not that bad, aren't they?, at least we thought so.
