HANGING COOKIE BAGS :: THE TWINERY

"...brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things"! (and now try and not sing the rest of the song... : )

I recently discovered these gorgeous homemade cookies by Cookie Dough here in Australia. They are chunky little circles of goodness with amazing flavours! When my boxes of treats arrived recently, I wanted to display them in a fun way. I've had these oversized pegs from Typo and have been itching to use them. This seemed the perfect project.
Imagine these served up for a cookie bar for a "Milk & Cookies" themed party. Yum!

I used the party dots from my Snowflake Christmas printable collection and some Carribean & Maraschino twine to suspend some kraft paper bags. Hang them over your mantel or from your Christmas tree and they will definitely add some sweet goodness to your home! They may not last for long however!

This project was featured over at The Twinery blog today with a few more photos. It's my last contribution on their design team, which has been such a fun opportunity - thanks Nicole!

MAX'S MAGICAL GARDEN :: CUSTOMER PARTY

When Melanie from Mermade Designs sent me these photos of her son's Magical Garden Party, I knew I had to show you.
She used the Down in the Garden printable collection and really made it her own.

Grass table top, check. Moss, check. Cute toadstools and trees, check!
Melanie and her mum made all the food (including my family's favourite Jelly Slice!) She also made lots of the decorations like the bunting and the trees above the food table.

To see more photos and read more about Max's birthday take a look at Melanie's blog. Thanks for sharing Melanie!

I love seeing customers parties, if you would like to share your families celebrations, feel free to email me some photos and details!

CHERRY LOVE

I've been designing and propping my little heinie off lately, with the goal to have some of my collections photographed last week by the very talented (not mention all round nice girl), Naomi from Naomi V Photography. Today is the day I share the first one with you! Yippee! I'm so excited about them, I hope you like them as much as I do!



First up is Cherry Love, a sweet design that is perfect as we come into summer. I designed it with an older girl in mind, but was sharing with a friend last week and she has her eye on it for her daughters 1st birthday; so age is out the window!

Cherry Love comes as Invitation | Party Dots | Straw&Party Tab | Buffet Label | Thank You tag | & can be made into one of any shaped personalised favour boxes. All are available in my store. 

What are some fun activities and food that you think would suit this theme? Cherry picking...Pie eating contest?!

HEY THERE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

This was my favourite article from the first edition of Tickle the imagination. Did you guess it?

Thetis from  Little Sooti blog gave a lovely glimpse at the behind the scenes making of this Little Red Riding Hood dessert scape, I felt emersed in it! I love how eerie it is. A little bit dark and mysterious...and I really love that the rain that started as a problem, turned into something that I think made this inspiration shoot all the better for it!

The clincher for me was this video from photographer Laura Cioccia - make sure your sound is on!
Well done to all involved. It's a stand out.
