Party Inspiration!

We came across this super brill on Somewhere Splendid - so cool and inspiring!

Love the loose, modern, fun approach and the quirky little animal details...

We have a seriously thing for neon pink and love the way it pops when combined with cool neutrals...

And, well, seriously, ANYTHING with a meerkat...!  See more here.

Lovely DIY Cake Stands!

Check out these lovely cake stands that you (yes, you!) can make with just a teeny bit of effort!

We love how sweet, yet modern, they look...

They're from table legs, plywood, and dollhouse trim!

We found these on You Are My Fave and the tutorial can be found in Bee in Our Bonnet...

Cute Origami Favor Boxes

How cute are these little origami boxes?  We found them over on Les Surprises de Fifi Mandirac (these are her super adorable papers - love the mixed patterns). She found this on K.Design, a lovely blog with all kinds of cute origami ideas...

They would make adorable favor boxes and they look pretty easy to make!  You can find the instructions here (they are very clear, but in French, so a quick translation follows, should you need it!)

Row 1: I used a piece of square origami paper (12  x 12 cm or 15 x 15 cm)

Row 2:  Fold along dotted lines

Row 3: Unfold the left and right sides

Row 4: Raise the left side; bring the flap down and inside

Row 5: Repeat on the right side

Conseil:  Tip: to make a cover, use a slightly larger piece of paper

Dana Tanamachi for Weddings!

We posted on the amazing Dana Tanamachi a little while ago, but we had to bring her up again, because (drum roll please!) she is available to do custom lettering on  anything covered in chalkboard paint - i.e. a totally amazing something something for your wedding!  How amazing would having something like the above be?  Amazing! Cover a sheet of plywood with chalkboard paint and voila! a genius thing for your décor and a fab keepsake!  We could also imagine seriously cool backdrop for the ceremony or a photo booth...We are giddy; oh the possibilities...
