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.
