friday finds

Posted on June 29, 2012 by thirdstoryies
The last of the party supplies came in the mail yesterday.  F was pretty excited when we opened them last night.  I decided awhile back to do individual ice cream cups for the different homemade ice creams.  Shop Sweet Lulu had some really cute ones, but when I finally sat down to order them they were temporarily sold out.  I checked back with Sweet Bliss Containers to see if they offered anything smaller than a pint size (they are my go-to ice cream container supplier).  No dice.  Then I found Garnish, and proceeded to order everything else I needed from them.  Candy tubes above for the rainbow colored sixlets F’s been eyeing at Oh Lolli Lolli for awhile.  These really cute corrugated ice cream cups with lids.  I even got some more wooden spoons to add to the mix.  These are plain, so I’ll fancy them up with those rainbow gel pens I used on the invitations.

And then, crepe paper in all the colors of the rainbow – the girls and I are going to make some fancy streamers that we’ll use for both parties.  E’s got her whole party planned out – down to the three page outline of details.  I’ll post that this weekend.  It’s a hoot.  Which reminds me – I never let her blog about her favorite summer reads.  I realized after I said that I would, that she’d likely scroll through some recent posts and possibly discover the secret room redo planned for her birthday.  So she’s banned from the blog for awhile…
Hope you found a little color this Friday.  Or something like ice cream to beat the heat.  Drop me a line and let me know how hot it is in your neck of the woods. (108 here again today.  Ugh.)

    61 in northern Wales, but it is 5pm local. Three castles today in various state of repair.

    Great vacation 🙂

      Sounds lovely. The weather and the castles. You picked a good time to leave!
