little things - party preparation








Bread dough sea stars for the party bags.
Every night for a week this man poured wax into teeny little walnut shells....be still my heart.
A fleet of boats ready for sail.
Fluorescent coloured fruit and the joys of a melon baller.
Sharing the beater. Your turn, my turn, your turn....
Jute twine...oh so much jute twine.

Little things that make our world. Things I want to capture, tuck away and peak at another day....and smile.

Ever inspired by this gorgeous lady.

And don't forget my little thank-you giveaway.

    Oh Steph, it all looks so gorgeous. Those sweet dough stars and the darling little boats - just beautiful. I hope Remy has the most fabulous celebration today and that you also get a chance to snuggle him tight and reflect on the incredible year that has passed with him blessing your lives with so much love and laughter.
