Ready, Steady, Party

I was so happy to receive this wonderful book: Ready, Steady, Party - cooking for kids and with kids by Lucy Broadhurst; for my birthday from my gorgeous sister Mrs R.

This fantastic book indulges my love of party styling - it is divided into party themes, and features menu suggestions including recipes and great presentation/packaging.

'Shipwrecked' Party:

'Farm' Party:


I am rather besotted with the 'Animal Feed' as shown above. The book also includes some helpful tips for holding a party and a section dedicated to Party Games. Other themes include 'off to the circus', 'teddy bears picnic' and 'camp out'.

Some of the recipes look so yummy I can't wait to try them out. It's also makes me keen to start planning the Little Guy's 2nd birthday - although that's 6 months away! Christmas comes first though - will be my first time hosting for my family (parents, brothers, sisters, neices, nephews etc) and I'm looking forward to doing some craft projects for the holidays.

Off to pour over the pages of this fantastic book yet again!

Elephants & Polka Dots

Here's a sneak peek look at the theme for my sister in law's baby shower in a few weeks (sorry about the poor quality pics - a decent camera is high on my wishlist):



Still have a few more things to organise but I'm getting there!

Wishing For Crate & Barrel ....

Oh how I ♥ these Crate & Barrel items:









They do ship to Australia but I'm sure the shipping charges will far exceed the cost of the goods. Wonder if I can find something similar here?
