Feature Dessert Table from Little Lovely
I’m wrapping up my vacation and am really thankful for lots of quality time with my family and rest! While poring through emails, I found an email from Khali of Little Lovely from Australia. She created a roaring prehistoric dinosaur party for her 2 year old son Hunter. I love the bunting on the cake, the dinosaur feet, dinosaur cupcake toppers, and egg straws.

Brooch Bouquets
Amanda Heer of Fantasy Floral Designs sent me these brooch bouquets and I nearly fell off my chair. Apparently, these beautiful brooch bouquets made their way around the blogosphere and somehow I missed it! How beautiful would these be for a vintage style wedding? It is also a great way to incorporate a family heirloom (something old or something borrowed) into your bouquet. Amanda has even made an all blue (for something blue) brooch bouquet.…
