Project Details:
Pics 1 & 2 Time and again you will hear me chirp the praises of paint. This beautiful birdhouse has been a dusty relic banished to the basement for far too long. With a fresh mandarin orange coat of paint it went from rustic to exotic. What a statement!
So often inspiration can be found in nature. These ranunculus are breathtaking! See how they enhanced our color story with absolute perfection? I swoon!

I love to bake, but let’s face it, there just isn’t always time. Take it from me... there is no shame in a store bought goodies. Our dessert table showcased a lemon, chocolate silk and banana cream pie along with cake and cupcakes. I personalized them with flowers and candy eggs to reflect the theme of the day.

An invitation always sets the tone of any event or party. Our invite was enhanced by a variety of scrapbooking paper. We used similar papers to create our favors. The mixture of pattern adds a whimsical touch.
You really can’t have a feather her nest party without a nest. We filled ours with rich chocolate eggs wrapped in bright colored foil.Pics 7-9
Try this simple yet sophisticated version of a sack lunch. Guests were treated to chicken salad wraps, fresh fruit salad and an assortment of chips.
Bye Bye Birdie! I am crazy about these miniature paper bird cages. So fun and simple to make. I recommend starting a week or so in advance. Gather a few friends or family and they will be done in no time. An adorable favor well worth your efforts.
Cheers to a beautiful day and a fabulous way to celebrate baby. Congratulations in advance to the proud parents to be!Special thanks to my lovely co- hostesses with the mostesses. Loads of affection and best wishes to our guests of honor... can’t wait to nuzzle on baby Russo!

Advice:
Color goes a long way... find old birdcages and as I mentioned before, transform them from rustic to exotic with bright and bold paint!
