Out thrifting today and I found this little gem. When I saw it I just knew it would be so cute on a food table at a party, shower or reception AND that it would double as a display piece for my little party favors and party favor supplies down at ETC. I made a few samples to display using the ever-so-cute new baby line from Echo Park along with a simple pennant banner to hang from the railing. I removed the drawers and added some more supplies before dropping it off at ETC tonite.
I also found these sweet stamps when I was out and about today.
The stamp on the left was made at Strauch's Stationary when they were in downtown Mesa. I found them at an Estate Sale and HAD to take them home with me!
I finished up the adorning the straws for the baby shower that is coming up on the 20th.
I decided not to add little paper pennants as I originally planned. Instead, I decided to add a little piece of white lace to keep them simple and dainty. No glue, no fuss, and super fast! I am going to display them in this glass vase tied with the wide pink lace.
{all supplies purchased at ETC}
GATHER:lace, ribbon or trim
paper straws
START: Fold lace in half, place straw on top, pull tails through the loop, pull gently to tighten.
I guess I better start thinking about the food I am going to take to the baby shower, in addition to the pickle roll ups. I know those don't sound good, but they are scrumptious! Whole dill pickles rolled in a slice of ham that's smothered with cream cheese, and then cut into bite sized pieces. I think the salt in the ham, the tartness of the pickles and the creaminess of the cream cheese make a great combination. It's always a potluck favorite! :)
