renays bridal shower


on saturday, i got to help out when my friend dom was asked to throw a bridal shower, for her friend renay. i was so stoked, because there's nothing i love more than helping to throw a good party!


we decked out the house with all kinds of goodies from both of our houses... 


made pink lemonade with sliced lemons and
water with strawberries and mint


set up the backyard for high tea with vintage trios


and gleefully displayed the goodies that we had spent the last two days baking! ♥






we played a few games that we'd found on pinterest:
how well do you know the bride?
he said/ she said
and kiss the groom (this was definitely everyones favourite, dom had printed off a giant picture of the groom to be, with her brother, plus a whole pile of lips to pin to the picture. top prize was for getting the lips on the groom, with a booby prize for her brother. it was hysterical!)


add a little signage...


and our beautiful bride to be... 

it was a great afternoon!

dress making!



it's been a goal of mine for quite some time to sew myself a dress. not just any old dress, but an awesome vintage inspired one, in a funky as fabric. i've been looking on pinterest for quite some time now for inspiration (and hoping madly that i would find a pattern some day) and i finally found one!


all 3 of these dresses are made from the same pattern and found on different blogs, but i love them and i am so excited... because i found the pattern (simplicity 1652) on ebay and bought it! i am going to make one - this year. i assume i am fairly safe saying that, as it gives me just over 8 months to do so. so stay tuned... i am going to do this... and you will all be my witnesses as i show it off some time in the (hopefully near) future. ♥
