I made some party pic props for Eileen's going away party.  And a crown for the girl of the hour(s)...

Fun night!  Sad reason for a par-tay, but we all wish her well (and plan on many west coast visits!!!!)

Hawaii: Islands of Aloha

I just finished up the window display (at Arcadia Boutique) for the Philadelphia Flower Show!! 

I made the chandelier and garlands out of tissue paper, crepe paper, plastic straws, and wire.  (tutorial found on Oh Happy Day... slightly changed to fit the Hawaii theme, of course...and make it my own)

I love these flowers- I want to make more and have them in my house!

 String them all together, attach to a hoop, drape more strands from the bottom, et voila!

Getting psyched for Spring!!
Enjoy the sunny day :)

Twenty Twelve & a Flower Headband...

Happy New Year!!

It was a wonderful New Year's Eve and it's going to be a FABULOUS year.  Any good celebration calls for a celebration hat (or in my case this year, a headband).  So I dug through my bag of goodies to find supplies for this hair accessory.

2012 headband ingredients:

stretch mesh fabric (for a very comfortable band)
faux flowers (2 different sizes/ colors)
flat leather trim for bow (why not?)

add 1 silver dress, champagne to taste,
mix in 4 beautiful, hilarious friends
and top off with a fur coat.

et voila!

...mustaches not included.

May we all love, laugh, and live this year to the fullest.
