lanterns from the dollar store!
homemade sign.
I found some fun paper and traced a circle on top, (using a CD).
cut out the circles, punched two holes in the top,
and placed some twine through it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAISLEY!
And it can be used year after year.
I did the same thing with the "gift bike."
some tin buckets filled with candy.
notice the paisley tablecloth purchased several years ago at pottery barn outlet.

we can't return, we can only look behind from where we came,
and go 'round and 'round in the circle game."

lovely...lovely! :)
I sometimes feel like we must be related. We both love parties and enjoy using old items mixed with bargain ones to give a certain whimsical, vintage touch. The party looks fun and lovely. How nice to have such a large yard for all the kids to expend their copious energy in!! Blessings!
where does time go?
happy day paisley girl.
You add creativity and beauty to everything you do, and it is an inspiration to me.
Happy Birthday sweet little Paisley! You were fortunate to be born into the family that you were.
So Sweet!! I recognize the little green bucket!! :) better hide it when Ana is around! What a lovely little party!! I miss you! Has the rest of your summer been as busy as ours?? Before we know it we'll be planting Mums!! We need to get together sometime in September!!
Luv Ya! Mary Jo
1. Love the music on your playlist (as usual).
2. Pink, Paisley, Prettiness pours out in perfuse measure in this post!
3. Lovely ensemble you are wearing at the party.
4. Love the ways you embellish your Hollywood Bicycle.
5. You are a perfect party giver...and someday, your children will recognize that. For now, knowng it and enjoying it for yourself is enough, right?
Loved it!
