dirty laundry

It's one of those days - I'm finding party goodness all over the internet.  

You have to check out this brilliant idea for a guest book from Etsy seller melangerie. It's beyond creative and so cute.

See what you get...

Decoratively air out the guest(s) of honor's "dirty laundry" at your next party by having attendees jot funny stories about the honoree on note cards shaped as t-shirts, tank tops, pants, and skirts. This kit includes the following packaged in a sweet mini laundry bag with space to fill-in your event date:

*40 note cards (10 t-shirts, 10 tank tops, 10 pants, 10 skirts) in a mix of moss, leaf, chartreuse and sage
*48 mini wooden clothespins (to clip up notes with)
*8 yards of clothesline
*1 coordinating prompt label that encourages guest's to write notes (shaped to fit on a 50 fluid oz. Tide detergent bottle)

I think this is a steal at $35.  Who wants a boring guestbook that folks just sign?  This is so much more meaningful for the guest of honor plus it becomes a part of your party as guests take time to write their notes and read the messages of others.  I love this!

big move coming up so not much time to post

but wanted to share this great party idea....

I love everything about this Nancy Drew Mystery Party.  You have to check it out!

Want to throw this party too?  Just visit Paper and Cakes Etsy shop and buy everything you need for $5.00.  Yes, you heard me right - 5 smackaroos - now that's a deal!

On a non party note...I apologize for the serious lack of posts.  We have been busy with the whirlwind we call moving.  After listing our house it quickly sold in 8 days and we were on to the next step of finding a new abode. We think we have found our future party house but there is lots to do before we are able to throw a housewarming shindig.

a break from politics to be thankful

We interrupt our political party planning to talk about that most thankful of holidays - Thanksgiving.

I was over at Tangarang and saw these adorable (let me repeat) adorable felted acorns.  They are from Etsy designer truLuxe and would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table.

If Thanksgiving isn't at your home this year but you know you'll just die if you can't get your hands on these fabulous felt finds then consider ordering some and using them for hostess gifts. I love how a beautiful leather journal is spruced up by the addition of the little yellow acorn.
