inspiration for a first birthday...

olivia's first birthday is just over a month away...and i'm looking forward to it/dreading it. don't get me wrong..i'm super happy that my littlest little is growing beautifully doing all the right things at the right time, but i'm dreading the fact that my baby just isn't a baby baby anymore.

real life has to kick in which means i'll be heading back to work (yuck!) and becoming part of the masses who have children and make life work. but let's not get dragged into a depressed spiral..it's party planning time and there's nothing i like doing more!

so the theme for olivia's first birthday is alice in wonderland/mad hatter's tea party. as her birthday is in june, it'll be the perfect weather for a light and airy lunch! i'm thinkin:

vintage tea cups

multi-colored pom poms

yummy sandwiches

lewis carroll's alice in wonderland (accompanied by disney's music!)

delicious punches

decorative cookies

complete with a teapot cake!

i love celebrating parties..now its time to start scouting out places to rent items..any suggestions
or ideas around this theme would be more than welcome!

  2. Hey Jzabela,
    if you want some vintage teacups to borrow, I have a bunch, in various colours, though most of them have flowers on them. (And not to worry if one or two don't survive... I've got to cull them somehow!)
