I’ve been partying a lot lately

“Partying” is such a relative term. 20 years ago, that would have meant something entirely different than the context it has for me today.

But partying I have been. And with each gathering, I found been delighted to discover creative inspiration. Not in the bubbly champagne, but in meeting sparkly people and drinking in the art around me.

Three super fun events over the past 8 days…

  • It started with a sewing party at my crafty super swell friend Bianca’s house.

  • On Friday I couldn’t miss out on the Vintage House reception for Vera Bradley’s daughter Joan Bradley Reedy and the A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. work of art cake they were serving. (yes, I took photos)
  • And Saturday we – the Princess and I –attended the cutest Pinkalicious party that could be. (more photos)

My inspirations from each are these:

  1. I need to sew more because I am stifling my creative growth by not —  and the sucker that I am, I am wholeheartedly convinced that I would be an infinitely better seamstress if I bought the machine the “Confidence Stylist”  was being demonstrated (I have extra coupons if you want them and are in the market for a new Singer – any Singer) and I might just even decide to start sewing three times a day. Heck, I might even give up my day job I’d be so darn good.
  2. I really must learn to overcome my fondant-phobia as I will never again like one of my own decorated cakes until I do. Rumor has it that Cake Palace has classes that can help me break through my fears.
  3. I envy those who have the artful eye of a decorator and can effortlessly design their home and the parties they hostess. I am inspired to not only give some personality to our home office, I think I might just clean. Everything looks better when it’s clean, don’t you think?

So as I wait for Princess to finish her nap so we can head out to Hobby Lobby to charge forward with my new found resolve, I’ll share my fun party moments with you:

Sew Sew Chic
I (heart) Vera Bradley parties
