Willow House Giveaway {$90 Value}

I'm excited to introduce our newest sponsor, Willow House with Angie Bytnar, along with a FABULOUS giveaway.  Keep reading for more information.

The Willow House catalog is full of products for entertaining and decorating the home.  I wanted to choose everything for myself!  The items range from wrought iron & wire accents, to pottery & glass. Their serving pieces will add elegance to any occasion. 

Can't you just imagine yourself serving punch from the gorgeous drink dispenser?  And how cute would those glass domes look on a dessert table!

I have a real love affair with wrought iron and Willow House has so much to choose from.  The message boards below are to-die-for!  The drink tub at the bottom - you will use it for every party! 

Now for the Giveaway!  Angie is going to give away the Adair Upside-down Cake Stand and Celebration Cake Dome - a $90 value.  This cake stand is multi-purpose since you can use it as a pedestal server or turn it over and use it as a tray with dip/sauce/bud holder.  The cake dome of course keeps your dessert fresh underneath and makes a beautiful presentation.

Ideas For A Ladies Luncheon {With Weddingish}

I definitely have Spring fever after putting together this Ladies Luncheon design featuring "fashionista" sugar cookies from Weddingish.  This would be perfect for a Bridal Shower, Birthday, or just-for-fun for the girls who love shopping and fashion. 

I decided to put together boxed lunches using pretty storage boxes that can also double as favors along with the cookies.  I love to combine form with function when I can. 

Each place is set with a ribbon tied box, bottled water, and napkins inserted into a bangle bracelet - another favor option!  Inside the box guests will find a wrapped sandwich, chips, and fruit displayed in a pretty way.  We also have the bagged cookies here which can be taken home for later, because we have an array available on our dessert table below.

You don't need an extravagant dessert display at every event.  This table features our themed cookies, available in shoes, purses, and dresses, and a couple of other treats round out the look.  We used hat boxes for a creative display in keeping with our theme, some flowers, and a fun art print.

You can be inspired by any item.  These cookies from Weddingish proved to be a great starting point for our design, and a delicious menu item as well!  Visit their site for more party items!

Storkie - Stylish Stationery

I'd like you to welcome Storkie invitations & cards as our newest sponsor here!  I've created a bridal shower collage above using one of their invitations as inspiration.  All of the stationery products they feature have a modern flair for today's stylish bride-to-be, mom-to-be, or any party hostess.  

You'll notice above they have classic-contemporary designs as well as whimsical designs for both weddings and bridal events.  You can even choose to add personalized stamps to your envelopes as well as coordinating address labels and reply cards. 

Storkie also has many baby shower invitations and announcements to choose from.  I love their Couture Collection for modern moms.  But if you  prefer something sweet and adorable they have that too.  And of course there are fun coordinating options here too, like matching cookies, candy bar wrappers, and thank you notes.

Take some time to peruse Storkie for your next big event!
