charming brunch

invitations displayed on a

magical wire tree

what fun it is to plan a party

for celebrating friendships

that mean so much to us

girls (of all ages)

i'm creating & gathering items

for the centerpiece

(watch out!)

how great to plan the menu & then

have volunteers to cook it!

as i frequently get carried away

with the decoration & presentation

& forget about the food...

thank you friends that understand

that about me!

celebrated a dear friend's birthday today

(known her since I was about 6 years young)

everyone brought a card & tucked it into

this "pocket"

pocket sewn from ladies old dress pattern papers

(had to watch where I put the old!)

printed with a birthday message

birthday magic

some paper ephemera chain
thrown in for additional
celebration!

working today on creating a vintage party favor

needed to express the celebration of friendships

sewing paper is always an  unexpected

 thing of magic

 

started out surrounding my work space

with favorite vintage items

inspiration abound!

thinking of a "charming" theme

with charm bracelets

"charming, simply charming"

to begin with!!
