happy monday friends!

how was everyones weekend? we were lucky enough to spend ours [that was ALMOST in the triple digits by the way] lounging most of our days in a neighbors pool:) oh, the perks that come along with dog sitting while they were away! it was also the first weekend in a long... LONG time that i've actually had to myself. I had a few orders to finish up, but other than that, my weekend was work free. besides being poolside, i got a lot of projects done around the house that were long over due. it feels like i'm finally caught up on, life i guess.

so, to start off the week, i thought i would finally share our pictures from confetti lab! i know i already gave you the low down, so i will just let you enjoy the details that ed from up imagery captured beautifully for us that day.

streamers and lights created a fluttering canopy for day, and a twinkling ceiling for our outdoor venue at night.

several lounge areas were placed around the party for guests to mingle, sip and eat. i displayed the treats that were generously donated, bouganvilla "borrowed" from an overgrown tree of a neighbor [i considered it a favor as i trimmed a spot for them], vintage frames, and various bell jars and apothecary jars displaying air plants.

whats a summer bash without a refreshing cocktail? tres sietes was the perfect match for the margarita recipes i had gathered. 

i thought we'd give our guests a little activity to

1. keep them occupied for a bit [i know, because margaritas, tacos, cupcakes, churros, and shopping is not enough]

and 2. teach them a new skill they could take home and use at their own shindig

masking tape garland and streamer cocktail stirrers [made with glue dots] were a nice match for summer entertaining ideas.

shopping! who can resist some hand crafted goodness?

we had lauren elise crafted, blair britt events, dolly's cotton candy, me: a fabulous fete, and stella & dot! it was a girls dream... sweets, pretty decor, and jewels, all in one place.

the party ended with our fabulous gift bags. here were just a few of the goodies guests got to take home.
