Some Bunny's Having a Party

In case you hadn't already guessed, after seeing our front porch steps, Grace's 5th birthday was a bunny themed birthday party.  

But, it wasn't just any bunny themed party.  Grace's bunny themed party had a sweet vintage feel to it starting with the invitations.

When I stumbled upon gaddie + tood, a blog filled with the sweetest FREE downloadable invitations, thank you cards and tags, I immediately feel in love with this vintage bunny birthday invitation.

I admittedly, do not have the best quality printer so I wasn't surprised to see some of this bunny's lashes smear when I printed them out.

Fortunately, using a white eraser, I was able to remove the black smears.  When the smears were removed, I followed gaddie + tood's tutorial for adding some sparkle to this sweet bunny with glitter!

Then, there was the matter of dressing up the envelopes.

Thank goodness for my Cavallini rubber animal set of stamps  Each envelope also got a bunny stamp.

These cute little invitations hopped their way into the hands of EVERYONE in Grace's preschool class.

And, now, you are also invited to experience Grace's party through the pictures...once I go through and edit down the 600 pictures I took (sigh).

Make sure you hop over and check out the rest of Grace's bunny themed birthday party.

What Every 5 Year Old Needs, Besides for a Dog

I'm no longer in the 'attending weddings' circuits, I have now found my social calendar filling up with invitations to 5th birthday parties.

The most recent 5th birthday party we attended had a ballerina tea party theme.

Fortunately, we know a thing or two about tea parties and being a ballerina.

The  birthday girl, whom we've entertained for the occasional play date or two, is an admirer of Riley {I overheard her whisper sweetly in Riley's ear, 'I love you, Riley'}.  I jokingly suggested to Grace {who is not so much an admirer of Riley} that we give Riley as a birthday gift.

Thankfully, Grace did not take my suggestion seriously because there is no way Riley would have fit into this bag {though, I am sure a few of her dog hairs did}.

So, in addition to a few store bought items (summer jammies and a puzzle for those of you who are curious), I included something homemade.

What does every 5 year old need, besides for a dog?  A tooth fairy pillow, of course. 

Want a tooth fairy pillow of your own?  Invite me to your birthday party or head over to my Etsy shop.
