The Magic Tree! {nostalgia}

My youngest daughter turns three in a couple of months and up until now I had no idea what to get her. We already have a house full of girl things and things age appropriate for 3 year olds.

Last week I headed off to Magnolia Square tiny and small in search of a 1 year old present which I did find (thanks Little Bubble and Tree and Gertie & Me!) But the icing on the cake was this:

The Klorfil Magic Tree by Vulli.

The lovely Cecile from Les Folies was there and they are the Australian Distributor for these little gems.

What’s so fantastic about the tree I hear you ask – well, it’s a bit of nostalgia really – you see these tree’s have been around forever – since I was a child – and I always wanted one, but never had one – and now I’m getting one! Well, um ah, my daughters getting one for her birthday. I know she’ll love it, it even has little birds tweeting.

Enough gush for this post, thank you Vulli for still making the magic tree. xx

Spooky {party}

alannah rose new designs, inspiration boards, parties

Little boys love scary things, things like spiders, slugs, snails… eek!

That’s why they’ll love our new Spooky Spider Party invitations.

Creating a spooky spider party theme is easy – use red, black and brown as your colour palette, and think of things that are icky! Red snakes, chocolate frogs, green slime (jelly), decorate with cobwebs (sourced from costume shops), red and black balloons or lanterns (like the one’s pictured below), hang fake spiders from the ceiling using fishing line, the list goes on!

Above: Alannah Rose Spooky Spider Party Invitations from selected stockists, spider web cupcake wrappers available from Pink Frosting, Black Lanterns from Pink Frosting, Skull Cookie Cutter from Details Details, Black Treats Bag from Details Details.

Garden {party} at Kirribilli House

alannah rose parties, parties

In May 2008 Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced he would open the doors of Kirribilli House in Sydney so that registered Australian Charities can use it for fund-raising events.

The Bonnie Babes foundation will be hosting the first Garden Party charity event at Kirribilli House on Sunday 22nd March, 2009. Alannah Rose was delighted to support Bonnie Babes with this event and are proud to have designed and supplied the invitations for such a charitable and exclusive occasion.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Bonnie Babes Foundation who help save babies lives through their vital medical research and medical equipment for prematurely born babies in intensive care units in hospitals. The Bonnie Babes Foundation also supports families after the loss of a baby with 24 hour, 7 days per week free grief counselling.

For further information on the Kirribilli House Garden Party event, or to donate to the Bonnie Babes foundation please visit their website.

Circus Party {bunting}

parties

I came across the most gorgeous polka dot bunting today, perfect to go with a party themed around our new circus invitations.

Available through Giggleberry Designs on etsy. The great thing about fabric bunting is you can use it for the party, then hang it in your child’s bedroom, playroom etc, and then use it again for the next party!

They also do custom bunting, so if you were trying to achieve something more like what we’ve used in our photoshoot below, I’m sure they could oblige.

More {spooky} Spiders

parties

Following on from my spooky party theme post, I found these great little party favours on another one of our stockists sites The Party Parlour website.

Spooky Spider Bubble Bath, the perfect spooky favour for our Spooky Spider Party Invitations

And take a look at these spider cupcakes with pocky legs found on Not Martha. I particularly like the bottom one (being the terrible cake maker I am – you buy the cakes and just add the legs!)

Light My {candle}

parties

I’ve just stumbled across these very gorgeous candles. The poketo! 5 minute candles, designed to look like an ordinary book of matches but inside there are 10 small candles. You can light the candles whilst attached to the book or break them off to put on a birthday cake or cupcake. How sweet would these be for a small wedding or birthday favour?
