Time to...

 
 '
 






                                                                     
                                        celebrate!




The latest NIB Challenge is on and it's all about celebrations so today I thought I'd share some scenes from a VIP Birthday Dinner I put together recently.


Inspired by some Marimekko napkins, the colour scheme was bright and summery -


























with splashes of white -



























some pretty pink  roses -











and spray painted animals - 


































dressed up with polka dot bows - 






























A side table was made festive by adding some party hats -













and blowers -














some pretty pink gum blossoms -































a fun quote -













and, of course -













cake!




All in all, fresh and fun! And the VIP client? Well - that was me! I am sure all the pink was a bit of a giveaway!


May your weekend be fun and festive,

Green is a very versatile colour when it comes to decorating. I hope that you feel inspired to channel your inner leprechaun and enjoy your greens!
