PartyParty Collection at Urban Outfitters....

....is amazing!   I'm just sayin'. Confettisystem has dreamed up this shimmering collection of home decorations and party favors.Garlands, ornaments, pinatas,party hats, and (of course) confetti have simple construction,  light-hearted intentions, and are absolutely dripping with whimsy!This collection is only available at Urban Outfitters, so get some soon and have yourself a PartyParty! 

Lay these lovely ornaments on a table, hang them , or add them to an arrangement for added charm to any party.

I LOVE these pinatas! I have been wanting to have a pinata at a party for a while now. I love those throw-backs to childhood. Things that make you feel like a grown-up kid. Those are that kind of things that are relaxing to me.  

This banner garland is certainly a nod to a classic, I like how there is paper fringe still but there is a twist with the added metalic.

I don't know what kind of parties you all went to when you were younger, but I don't remember party hats ever looking this cute!

Of course confetti is a part of the collection! With a name like Confettisystem how could it not be?

This garland is most certainly my favorite of the collection. I love when pretty things are sort of tattered. A garland of tassels, and curls, and fringe....oh my!

i am so inspired by the look of all these pieces. I could envision an entire party around this!I would also like to try and create my own fringey garlands and such! ....Maybe soon!

I hope you all fell in love as much as I did!

Napkin Folding

So, I found this wonderful book at Borders for a cheap 4 dollars!! It contains MANY napkin folds. I hadn't really done the whole cloth napkin thing before when I had guests over, but now every time someone comes over for dinner it is my time to show off! 

Here are some of my favorites!

This one is called pinwheel

This one is called fire!

ice cream cone....so cute for a neopolitan soiree!

Lover's knot (wink wink)

You've got mail....the envelope fold

The diamond fold...this one wasn't as hard as it looked

It takes very little to please and amuse me. This book and my cloth napkins kept me entertained on a rainy Saturday afternoon..AND I learned something new!

This week's garage sale finds

Every now and then ( I wish every week) I go hunting for treasures at garage sales. I look for all kinds of things, mismatched tea cups, interesting serving pieces, or other vases and candleholders to enhance any gathering. This week I managed to spend only $6.00 and got three fantastic pieces! Check em' out!

Three items for only $6.00 can you believe it?!

I got this piece for .50! I have already used it too! I served dip from it just the other night, but it could also be used to float candle in or serve appetizers from!

This green and brown striped table runner was $2.50!

I'm not sure what this is supposed to be but I plan to serve food from it, display candles on it.....and more!!

Maybe this weekend YOU should go garage-saling and see what you find!

Holly Golightly inspired bathtub sofa!

Ok...so I think that it is safe to say that we all wish we had Holly Golightly's style and charm. Now you can have a piece from her quirky New York apartment in your home! Check out this inspired bathtub sofa by Flavour Design.

Starting a "just" $3500. Yikes, well I will most likely not ever have one because I am what you call "thrifty" (or cheap, but doesn't thrifty just sound better?)  but they are still quirky and fun none  the less.
