Red White & Blue Guest Dessert Feature
The resort wear season may be coming to a close in the states, but with July 4th around the corner, nautical imagery is still everywhere from clothing to housewares. A few weeks ago we featured a vintage nautical dessert table. Bird from Bird’s Party sent over this dessert table that she created to showcase her new nautical printables collection. Inspired by the French Riviera, Bird wanted to create a clean, fresh and preppy… dessert table.
