{New to the Shop} Owl Love You Collection

Our Owl Love You custom printable party collection is simply a hoot!  My sweet neighbor Mary asked if I could help put together a baby shower for her friend incorporating the mommy to be's Owl themed nursery layette from Kids Line Dena Happi.  I of course was happy to assist.  I used the nursery decor as my inspiration pulling colors of pink, orange, green, blue, brown and yellow to create the collection's color palette.  I also used my daughter's Oopsie Daisy Owl art print I purchased at Target as inspiration when putting the printable designs together.   The Owl Love You printable collection is fun and bright and one that is perfect for celebrating the upcoming arrival of a baby girl, baby boy or gender surprise.

{Real Parties} Brianna's Ice Cream Shoppe Birthday!

Last week, one of my sweet customers posted a few pictures on my Facebook page sharing the cutest party that she styled for her daughter using a few pieces from one of my printable collections.  When I saw the post, I had to contact her about featuring the pictures on my blog.  All of the pictures were so incredibly cute that I knew that I needed to share them with you.  Kylie did such a fantastic job styling the party and I am excited to share them with you!

Thanks so much Kylie for sharing Brianna's adorable Ice Cream Shoppe party!
