I sure hope you were able to attend my party yesterday! But if not, no worries. That’s the beauty of the interwebs—virtual parties keep on hoppin’! I have quite a few party-detail posts coming your way over the next few weeks, but I though I’d start things off easy with the cutest-ever Cake Topper Bunting.
Okay, maybe not cutest ever, but I did actually squeal when I put it atop my cake.
For reals.
Hey all you flappers and fellas! Welcome to the End of my Roaring Twenties Party! That’s right, today’s the day of the big 3-0, and I’d love it if you all would celebrate with me!
Are you all dolled up in your pearls and your pinstripes? Then let’s get hoppin’!
I bet you thought I fell off the face of the Earth, right?? Sure feels that way, doesn’t it!?
So, I was planning to share the next installment of my house tour today. Buuut… I’ve been busy / sidetracked by prepping for my Gatsby style birthday party next weekend. You may have caught a couple of the shots above on Instagram.
Being an only child, I think I’m equal parts mommy’s girl and daddy’s girl. I have plenty of great memories of my childhood “helping” my dad around his garden or washing the cars (i.e. playing in the hose). In the summers, when he got home from work, we’d play wiffle ball in the backyard, or go to our local putt-putt course for a round of mini-golf and an ice cream cone. When I started taking horseback riding lessons, Dad was always the one to drive me to the barn and watch my lessons. When I was in junior high, he taught me how to play real golf (sorry for all those times I lost my temper due to bad swings!). And still today, he teaches me about gardening, about family, about history, and about patience.
Much as I prefer seeking out special gifts for my Mom for Mother’s Day or her birthday, the same goes for Dad. He’s never been a “tie guy”, so it’s always a fun sort of “challenge” to come up with special gifts for Dad!
Thankfully, Umba has dads covered too. So I’ve rounded up some great handmade picks for Father’s Day that I know my Dad, and hopefully yours, will enjoy!
