Party ideas
HI! It’s Jenny from Hank + Hunt with another party accoutrement DIY for you, my pretties. So, I have three whole rolls of this AMAZING 1960s contact paper for lining shelves. While I have had them since before I got married (ahem) a while ago, I have never lined a shelf with it. I just …
I loved the great metallic charges in this morning’s Inspired Creations entry from Bella Rains Garden Studio and Lavender & Twine. Roya of Bella Rains Garden Studio took an inexpensive plastic charger (easily found at places like Marshall’s, TJMaxx and HomeGoods) and created something really beautiful with the simplest of DIY projects. Use this idea …
Happy Friday, everyone! I am really looking forward to the weekend, I’ve got to say. I’ve been fighting the flu this week (which explains why it’s been a little quieter than usual around these parts) and I’m looking forward to some extra sleep and a quiet little birthday celebration with my family. Plus, next week …
A few times now we’ve talked about my love for pancakes and breakfast in general. (A breakfast birthday party? Fabulous.) So, I have to say I truly believe a little stack of cake batter pancakes loaded with sprinkles and drizzled with icing sound like the perfect birthday treat. Today I am spending a quiet day …

All the way from Singapore, I love this pretty pink ballerina birthday party that Mimi threw for her daughter Sarah. Loads of pink treats, paper pom poms, bunting, and a pink rainbow cake with a ballerina cake topper are about as girly as it gets. Add in one adorable birthday girl sporting a pink tutu …
The lovely Jessica of In the Hushed Hours shared this sweet little tea party birthday celebration she planned for her daughter and it’s one of the prettiest parties I’ve seen in a while. So girly! The little ones put on brightly colored lipstick and played Kiss the Frog Prince and Jessica handmade the party decor, …
Italian event planner Alessandra of Almalu’s Place shared the sweetest Peanuts-themed birthday party that she recently planned for her sister. Fabiola loves the Peanuts so Alessandra was inspired to create a party influenced by Fabiola’s love for Charlie Brown and the gang. (So cute!) She worked Daily Suze to create the stationery and paper goods, …
I love this fun idea from Amanda of Bake It Pretty – cupcake fondue! Really, what could be better than dipping mini cupcakes in frosting and topping them with a rainbow of sprinkles and pretty sugars? I am thinking about nothing. This would be a fun idea for a kids party or for a party …
As promised earlier, I put together a fun shopping guide to help you recreate the rustic campsite vibe of the camping themed baby shower and campsite wedding inspiration shoot created by Jesi Haack Design, JL Designs and Sweet and Saucy Shop as photographed by Gabriel Ryan Photographers. Both of these designs were all about old …

Budget-friendly and simple enough for even the most novice of crafters, get the full how-to from Oh Happy Day. {Photos from Oh Happy Day.}
