There is alot of sparkle & magic within this special birthday party styled by Frog Prince Paperie for Maddie's 5th Birthday. With a special ''Make a Wish'' party theme there was evidence of magic, glimmer & hope. The details and styling capture the essence of blowing out the birthday candles and making a wish. An absolutely beautiful party! For further information and images, {including vendors} please visit Frog Prince Paperie.

NEW YORK Party

For those of you that know me well, you know I swoon over anything related to NYC. This party styled by One Charming Party is no exception. A wonderful & clever party theme for a special little boy. I love the details, particularly the birthday cake. There is even a DIY tutorial on their site. As Sinatra sings "Im gonna make a party out of it, in old New York. If I can make it there, I’d make it anywhere. It’s up to you, New York, New York".

This afternoon I had the pleasure of styling a candy sweets table for an adorable little boy's Christening held at the beautiful Italian restaurant Grappa in the heart of Leichardt. The theme for the Christening was Circus and the colours chosen for Emilio's candy bar were red, blue & white.

With approximately forty children attending, I envisaged the table would have lots and lots of jars filled with coloured candy. I laid a red and white stripe tablecloth and gathered it at the front to resemble a circus curtain. It was topped off with a double bow on either end {making all kinds of bows is another one of my creative outlets}

A customised ''E'' sat on the centre of the table within a vintage style red frame, and I also created the printable sweets labels, banner & chocolate wrappers. I know there will be some very happy faces at the end of the evening when they fill their white noodle favour boxes to take home, full of delicious candy.

the circus is in town!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Last weekend I celebrated my son Kayden's 7th birthday party at home. We chose a Baseball theme as he had just finished the baseball season here in Australia and what a fabulous one it was!

We incorporated elements of grass, baseballs, peanuts, chalkboard vintage scoreboard, and we even had the classic tune ''Take Me Out to the Ballgame'' playing in the background as we ate hot dogs and fries!

I was thrilled to see Kayden's party featured on the Amy Atlas Blog on Monday. Thank you so much Amy, it truly is an honor.

Here are some pictures from the day.

My BIG Week!

What an exciting and big week for me & Mon Tresor. We started off the week with a big *bang*! Valentines Day, the anticipated wait for the latest Autumn issue of Shop4Kids magazine out Mon 14th Feb & the Sydney Trade Fairs KIS/LIS, AGH.

During the January school holidays I headed over to ACP Magazines with my son Kayden (6) where he was photographed by the ever so talented Max Doyle for the Autumn Issue of Shop 4 Kids magazine. I was honored to meet the gorgeous Justine Cullen & staff on the shoot. Kayden is featured on the front cover alongside his friend from school Lily (a coincidence!) & also inside the main fashionshoot {reminiscent of the Beatles} on page 127. Very exciting!!

I attended the KIS/LIS Trade Fair on Friday and loved it! So many gorgeous stalls-  lined with beautiful vintage furniture and decoratives and ahhmazing products. I had the pleasure of meeting Allison from Lark, Lauren from Lauren Hinkley designs, the lovely Ruth from Specklefarm & the gorgeous ladies from Lola & Bailey. Several hours later and sore feet as a result of non-stop walking, I relaxed and enjoyed a late lunch with my sister @ Bills Woolahra.

I headed over on Saturday to the AGH @ Homebush with my sis in law Vesna of My Little Jedi where we bumped into Jayde from the fabulous Little Paper Lane boutique in Mona Vale and her lovely mother Keren of Sweet n Pretty cakes. I found some fabulous products for Mon Tresor over the weekend & I hope to share them with you  through our online store very soon.

Hope you all had a wonderful week too x

A Table of Love

I stumbled across the wonderful world of Just Call Me Martha and the creative & talented woman behind it all- Leoni- only just recently after her unique and stylish "Back to School" themed dessert table that was featured on the amazing Amy Atlas blog here.

Leoni styled an absolutely perfect Valentine's Day themed dessert table. My favourite features are the clever backdrop, the gorgeous cake and paper details by one of my favourite stationery stores Kikki -K and the adorable cheesecake bites.

Well done Leoni, I cannot wait to see what you create next! xxx

Scrumptious cheesecake bites, sooo clever!

Love the straw flags made using Kikki-K labels.

The simple plastic drinking straw is just perfect!

Beautiful cake inspired by Kikki-K love heart range.

Let the Wild Rumpus Begin!

|green meal box- complete party boxes|welcome sign|birthday cake|Mon Tresor cupcake toppers x12|

Where the Wild Things Are is one of my all time favourite picture books, so it's not surprising that I am thinking of basing Maddox's 3rd birthday party on this classic theme. Mind you, the birthday is not until October! What can I say, I love thinking about parties, styling ideas and colour palettes months in advance.

|Pin the tail on Max party game| Wild Thing banner-Etsy|

Recently, my thoughts of a Wild Things birthday party led me to create some cupcake toppers based on Max and his wild rumpus adventure. Using natural earth tones of forest green and chocolate, the cupcake toppers come in an assortment of 12 different prints. I picture them being styled in a mud chocolate cupcake with a delicious topping of chocolate shavings. Such a wonderful and unique party theme for boys, easily lends itself not only to the styling fun, but also to the simplicity of the party games such as; pin the tail on Max, storytime, wild rumpus dance and make a gold crown craft.
