Y’all, this affair in celebration of my thirtieth birthday seems like eons ago. (Which is strange considering I’m not a day older than thirty and a half.) I had a three month old and didn’t want to spend my day slaving over party food so we went with a pink and chocolate dessert and cocktails theme. Everything was ordered from Smyrna’s divine little bakery, McEntyre’s.
Guests were greeted with candles and bubbles on the walk. Looking at this picture makes me really, really miss that house.
The foyer table held a candy buffet and Lilly book for guests to leave their birthday sentiments.
And the main event was set up in the dining room. Oh, what I’d give for one of those thumbprint cookies right about now.
In keeping with the theme, the signature cocktails of the night were pink cosmos and chocolate martinis.
Mother all dolled up in pink, the PCP in his infant preciousness and moi decked out for the big night.
It was a memorable evening. With that, I’ve only got Honey’s thirtieth celebration left in the Flashback series!
xoxo
All Dolled Up
Yesterday I dolled the baby up and carted him out for his three-and-a-half year formal portrait. Since I had already cajoled him into the little button on, I snapped a few of my own in the back yard in his “new” antique chair. It was nothing short of a miracle that he didn’t get a… Read More
A New Old Chair
If you love a good before and after chair project as much as I do then you’re in for a treat today! Remember this sad little chair that shared in my big boy room kick off? Weeeeeelllllll, a couple of yards of fabric and a trip to my favorite upholsterer later and she’s sporting a… Read More
Eleven Years After 9.11
It’s been eleven years since the day that forever changed our country. Source I’ve been struggling with how to share 9.11 with John and I just don’t think he’s ready to bear the weight of the day’s events just yet. He’s prone to worrying and we believe that every day of blissful, childhood innocence is… Read More
Storm Snack
Fall ball is underway and we’ve already scratched our snack duty off the list! Since our assigned game time fell between meals, I put together Storm Snack bags for the team. Everything was red and black to go along with our colors. Sources: black sacks and clear bags from Michael’s; Little Debbie Marshmallow Pies… Read More
The Walking Dead
…is about how I feel right now. We had so much fun this weekend that I’m surprised I’m still awake to tell you about it. We had baseball games Friday and Saturday. Stayed out waaaaay past our bedtimes at Six Flags. Cheered on the Yellow Jackets at Georgia Tech’s home opener Saturday night. Attended… Read More
Six Flags Over Georgia
We made our annual trip down to Six Flags last night and, with the PCP coming in at just a hair over 48”, a whole new world of thrill rides were ripe for the riding. We’ll bring the baby back in a couple of weeks but since it was just Mommy, Daddy and the big… Read More
