Inspiration Board


I know with a title like that it sounds like I'm about to delve into some serious aspirations and how I plan to achieve them, but, I'm not. I'm talking inspiration for a 3rd brithday party here. Serious business I know :)

Before I share some of my favourite party stylers, I'd love to know how my girl has gone from this....... 

 
to this.....


It hardly seems possible that it's been 3 years already.  {sigh}

Anyway, as planning is underway for our little party to celebrate my girl, here's some of the MANY pictures I'm loving and feeling inspired by.....


{Jasmin keeps asking for a "lady bug cake please" so just think red and white for the colours}


I'm pretty sure this one is Martha but I couldn't find the original link for the picture.......


My friend Sally who is a 'Martha' in her own right put on this sweet party for her daughter a couple of years ago - she is amazingly talented (and I WANT that clock on her wall :)  More pics from her party HERE


The food styling master Amy Atlas - oh how I love her clean, straight, white lines (you must check out her eye candy and blog if you haven't already seen them


I LOVE these pics from Alannah Rose but there will be NO fake green grass or florals on our table ;) everything else is gorgeous!! 




Ruki from INVITEDbyRUK Is also AMAZINGLY talented (and happens to be the daughter of the lovely Shamala Maddison if you happen to know her). Here's a taste of what she did for her son's birthday (amazing right!) you can check out more of her gorgeous projects and ideas HERE



 I'm thinking we might take the party to the park again like we did LAST YEAR because it made it SO easy and enjoyable for everyone (read: pregnant.sick.tired. let's go to the park and decorate a table so the 'entertainment' is built in :)


I can't wait to help my girl celebrate her day!!!


POST EDIT - I've had a few people ask about the clock on my friends wall, I'm pretty sure it's from Freedom furniture and it's the Arles clock $129 click HERE to view it otherwise I found another one very similar to it HERE :)

Hey Felicity, Charli just had a big birthday party and all the kids went on Safari. We greeted them with a bottle of water with their name on it (self labled), A safari Hat and a pair of binoculars. Then they had to walk through the snake pit after they had their pic taken in the safari car imported from USA. what a great day we had. The best part about it my sister did it all for her as a present. I still have yet to put it on my blog as work is sooo busy but I will try to do it soon. h yeh her fourth bday was a ballet party. That was a good one too. Pics are on my blog for that 2 years ago. fun fun fun. Zak wants a super hero party for his 3rd birthday so he tells me???

I need to get Varian into the party spirit. And speaking of bday parties, his is Sunday. Any quick last minute suggestions for someone who doesn't fully appreciate it but still deserves a party? :)
