The space was surrounded by beautiful gardens which we took inspiration from and kept it fresh and green. The space was so lovely and had great natural light which made our job so much easier!<br />
<br />
Along with the main dining table, we made up a little "Christmas Treats" table which featured homemade Mince Pies, Eggnog and some beautiful White Christmas one of the lovely guests brought along, so good we had to have a few pieces ourselves!!<br />
<br />
A creamy nut encrusted fudge and spicy onion jam was made for a little take home favor for the guests.<br />
<br />
We kept the decorations natural, using fabric, paper doilies, craft paper and hessian to highlight the space. Gorgeous white-green Hydrangeas added to the fresh feel. <br />
<br />
All in all a lovely event....roll on Christmas!<br />

<br />
We wanted to create the rainbow feel but still with a natural tone which was done using vintage wooden crates, linen and hessian. Also with the printing of food,water and goody bag labels (done on craft card stock). Handmade birds and clouds hung from above as well as a HUGE yellow balloon adding sunshine to the table!<br />
<br />
Rainbow jelly and lollypops added colour as did all the coloured gumballs, jellybeans and chocolate crackles.<br />
<br />
Cute DIY pinwheels and little mustaches kept the guests happy outside under cover where we set up a cute photo op area!<br />
<br />
The rainbow cake was the amazing finale with custom designed mini bunting. Once the cake was sliced it was rainbow happiness all round!<br />

Next year she is onto the big wide world of BIG school and i know kindy will be a distant memory.<br />
<br />
I know we've already talked about the joys of jam so i wont go on about it too much... but you guessed it another batch of jam was made for these lovely ladies (am thinking a huge case of wine may have been more appreciated?!) so we say thank you for all that you have done and of course MERRY CHRISTMAS! xx<br />

After a bit of googling i realised that if they are left they rot and just fall off (that's if the possums haven't had a good go first!) so we cut them down whilst still green and let them ripen. They all seemed to ripen at the same time hence the HUGE bowl you can see, not the prettiest bananas you have ever seen but they are so little and very sweet, perfect for small people, who in my life are just that!<br />
<br />
Next was what to do with all these bananas? After the little people started knocking them back i made a big batch of banana muffins and mashed the rest and freezed a few zip lock bags full for future banana goodies!<br />
<br />
Just waiting for the next bunch to ripen! this may not seem like a phenomenon to some but this city girl who cant even grow mint is pretty excited to be eating totally organic bananas that i (sort of) grew!!....well no i didn't grow at all but they are in my garden so I might as well take the credit... a bit! <br />

<br />
The first of our favorite places to shop is the beautiful children's wear shop I Am Kidz in Avalon on the northern beaches.

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So we are thinking extra large hellium balloons in the birthday girls favourite colours, lots of 'brite' coloured decorations and of course Rainbow Brite needs to make an appearence! (busy bargining on ebay as we speak!) </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We will continue the old school theme with party food from long ago ie sausage rolls, chocolate crackles, fairy bread and rainbow jelly (who are we kidding, we love to produce all the above whenever we get a chance!!) and party games with a good measure of face painting for the partygoers!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

The mum to be doesnt know what she was having,so we kept it neutral with lots of bright yellows and oranges. We created a huge table setting where everyone could sit, eat and enjoy the surroundings. With a table full of Freesias, Ranunculus, Poppies, Chrysanthemums and Mint the spring scent was in the air!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A little photo booth was set up so guests could take a quick snap shot and add it into her guest book so she could remember her special day. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A drinks table was also set up with two big jugs of homemade lemonade and Pimms. The food was an italian fare with lots of delights to pick at through the course of the afternoon.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On leaving, the guests were asked to take a little pot of planted seedlings to take home and themselves grow and nuture just like the mum to be!</span></span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We had so much fun creating this Dinosaur party for little Harlan! We wanted the dino effect without it being too plastic so we based it around a 'prehistoric' feel with the use of natural products such as real vine, mini succulent plants, bamboo, hessian and wood.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The center decoration was of course the cake, which was a two layered coconut and chocolate cake with yummy chocolate ganache icing, complete with dinosaurs roaming around on the top amongst rocks (coconut rough and choc covered honeycomb) and palms!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Food was served on wooden platters or in handmade hessian sacks as well as green dino jelly in cups with cute bamboo spoons and the all time favourite chocolate 'rock' crackles!</span></span><br />

One of our first events was for the very own Amy, it was her first baby and she didnt know what she was having. She is a girly girl and loves a good vintage look so we decided to go with Mauves and pinks with a beautiful Sparrow image on all the invites, place cards and thank you cards.<br />
<br />
The setting was in the beautiful Tea Rooms in the QVB, Sydney. Where they graciously let us loose on the tables and a subsiquent 'cake' table. Beautiful roses,Amy and Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12146371150049913336noreply@blogger.com0
