frankie's high seas birthday















Henry's first birthday was a handmade affair.  We kept the guest list small so we could make each person feel welcomed and special.  The invitations were created using Paper Source products and hand carved stamps. I used twine from The Twinery on the invites and the favor bags.  The ship on the cake was made of paper mache wood and fabric. I got inspiration from the whimsical ships of Ann Wood.  You can view full sized photos of the party on my Flickr.

    These Christmas party dresses are stunning. Loved them a lot. My friend is going to arrange a Christmas party at one of New York Event Venues and will have a lovely dress for the party. Have already seen some nice designs online. Will buy one from there itself.
