preppy birthday table

Saturday morning we celebrated the beginning of birthday week for my daughter. Birthday week begins with big breakfast at our house. I pulled out the LuRay Pastels, Fiesta and McCoy to create a preppy color story for the morning. started collecting the LuRay about a million years ago. I mixed the pink plates with my green fiesta plates. I'm not a fiesta collector, the products just makes sense with a family. It's so sturdy and the colors are fantastic. Forgive me for not knowing the name of this green- I'm thinking chartreuse? Anybody out there know for sure? My son gave each placesetting a hat made out of an IKEA green napkin. The coffee cups and bowls are mid-century McCoy, and I do love them. Mixing and matching is a good thing.

birthday girl airlines!

This is really fun. Inspired by a "ticket jacket" given to me from my friends in Seattle. The jacket arrived in the mail and was filled with my birthday itinerary of fun in Seattle and of course gift cards for coffee on the way.

This derivative is a birthday card that sets the mood for a surprise trip to Vegas for a 65th birthday, staying at Paris Las Vegas Casino. A super special trip between sisters!
Remember when you actually had to have a ticket when you traveled?
This ticket is for a flight on Birthday Girl Airlines, the actual travel itinerary is tucked behind.
I'm sure there will be plenty of champagne and good times.

day to evening challenge

My client requested an invitation for her sister. It needed to be two things in one, an invitation to the bridal shower and an invitation to the bachelorette party, both on the same day. Needed to be fun and promise of the good times to come, but Gramma was also going to see it, so it couldn't be to...too- if you know what I mean. Came out well I think...
