Hello! I can't wait to share with you the second summer birthday party highlight. My good friend, Leah Fairbanks, hosted the best fairy themed party for her daughter's fifth birthday.
(For those of you who are familiar with the art of making glass beads, you'll know this classy lady. She is truly amazing!)
Not only does Leah rock on the torch at making beads, but she's also a lean, mean, fairy-skirt-sewing-machine! She made over 25 skirts for each other the little girls that attended the party. And they were ADORABLE.
Here is her birthday girl glamming it up.
Aren't these wings every little girl's dream? So cute.
Miss C loved her skirt.
Miss J did, too!
Leah also made the most exquisite fairy meringues.
Sprinkles of fairy dust adorned each one.
I love this picture of Leah and her hubby Derek. Cute, cute, cute!
And can I just say that I've never seen such beautifully wrapped presents before? Gorgeous.
This one was my favorite. Creativity is pasted all over it.
And here are a few fun ideas for you if you'll be attending a fairy party soon... next time you gift your loved one with a present, paint a box, throw some stickers on it, and fill it with fairy goodness!
Miss A and Miss painted this "fairy" house and I needle-felted a door and flower to embellish it.
A bag of fairy chalk is perfect for creative little minds.
Fairy dust is a must. Just fill a little baggie with flower-punched paper.
Here is a necklace I designed for our special little friend.
(This design will be available in the shop when it opens November 29th)
The teeny-tiny font is the perfect fairy size.
Thank you, Leah, for a magical party!
xo,
Pamela
p.s. Don't forget to enter the Acorn Birthday Giveaway! The winner will be announced tomorrow. :)
I have four girls myself and they love to make fairy dust with chalk. Basically you just move your chalk back and forth in the same area of the sidewalk for a long time and create a pile of chalk dust (fairy dust). Then you can throw it around the yard, at other people, create piles of it of different colors,or add water to it and make a very concentrated chalk picture.
