Birthday’s Birthday’s

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

We’re celebrating a special milestone this week. It’s our 4th Birthday!

On October 1 2005 we officially pushed the ‘go’ button on our website and went live. Time has flown and I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride, so thank you to our gorgeous clients, lovely friends, retailers, suppliers and my fabulous family for your continued support and for making what I do each day so thoroughly enjoyable.

This year we have grand plans for bigger and better things, so stay tuned, I can’t wait to share it all with you.

love and hugs

Cupcake Celebrate - Cupcake Party Inspiration

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I love cupcakes. My kids love cupcakes, in fact everyone I know loves cupcakes, so cupcakes were a perfect choice for a design to include in our new party invitation range.

There are so many beautiful things you can do with this theme. Set up a baking table and let kids ice their own cupcakes to take home in little boxes, make up a felt cupcake and play ‘pin the candle’ on the cupcake. Decorate in theme with the invitation using pink, white, chocolate and a dash of red. Use cherries, cupcakes, flowers and all things pink and sweet for a Cupcake party to remember.

See the below inspiration boards for more ideas

It’s a gorgeous sunny day in Melbourne today, perfect weather for showing off your beautiful diamond rings.

Engaged and already married, I’m very blessed to have some beautiful jewelery, but that’s not to say one can’t wish for more. Enter the Tiffany Celebration Rings. Perfect for celebrating and remembering life’s more important moments.

The Tiffany website has a wonderful little tool that lets you create your own stack - a little dangerous, but fun none the less. This little stack will set you back oh, somewhere in excess of $68,000, umm honey… I’m worth it, really. (I know you read the blog… xx)

Enjoy the sunshine today everyone
