Today we’re getting ready for a little 6th birthday celebration for my daughter. The theme she’s chosen is rainbows, and whilst there’s so many rainbow parties around and it’s a popular choice, it’s a choice that’s dear to our hearts and especially special to her.
Last year when she started prep, we went through a lot of separation anxiety, two terms of it actually (in Australia that’s half a year), there were tears every morning at drop off, and I mean EVERY, which was distressing for me, distressing for her, and difficult for her teacher – a Mr – who handled her absolutely amazingly and took her on his knee each morning as I pried my fingers out of her grip.
At some stage amongst all the tears I had a chat with my Aunty, a school teacher who had just been to a talk by Petria King – a well-known author, inspirational keynote speaker, teacher and facilitator. Petria’s talk was about the rainbow ritual and accompanying story book You, Me and the Rainbow. A story and ritual developed by Petria to help children deal with challenging, sad or distressing news. My Aunty thought it might be worth a try with our separation anxiety, so I ordered the book and away we went.
Well, within a week of reading the book every night and doing the rainbow ritual, Alannah was going off to school, wrapped in a rainbow and not a tear in sight!
Since then, she’s been obsessed with rainbows, we talk about them a lot, and every now and then when she’s feeling a little unsure, I send her rainbow from my heart to hers, and it’s enough to give her a little more confidence to head off to whatever it is she’s doing.
I highly recommend the book, it’s a beautiful story with a purpose, and it’s certainly one that’s become special in our home. So tomorrow, we’ll be sending rainbows around, I hope you all catch one too.
Stay tuned for the pics – we’ve had so much fun with the theme rainbow, Alannah has even finger knitted some of the decorations, which is so incredibly sweet.

I think I admitted a few weeks ago that I’ve got a little ‘thing’ for cake stands… I found a stunning range at Sharnel Dollar Designs, and now I have discovered more!
Talented Australian stylist, photographer and dessert queen Tracey Lau has just started selling these gorgeous ribbon cake stands. The minute I saw them, I snapped them up – I can’t tell you how much I love them, and for how long I’ve searched for an Australian stockist of these! This week, I threaded red and white ribbon through them and made little chocolate pudding cupcakes for Christmas, so sweet.
And just today via Hostess with the Mostess, I’ve stumbled across Sweet and Saucy Supply – dare I say it – cake stand heaven! They have one of the largest ranges I’ve seen available online, at very reasonable prices. Have a look at these gorgeous pink hobnail stands. Their catch cry “Beautiful stands – oh my!” pretty much sums it up.
Sweet & Saucy also just recently styled Myley Cyrus’ 18th Birthday Party, a stunning dessert table based around a dream catcher theme – be sure to visit their blog for the rest of the eye candy.
Have a lovely Sunday all – only 6 sleeps until Christmas.
We’ll I’ve started the preparations for Alannah’s birthday in March, I was going to outsource next years parties, but it appears my children won’t let me! So here I am researching all things party again! I found these cuter than cute cupcake pom poms from My Silly Bear on Etsy. Such a sweet variant on the tissue paper pom poms we’ve all come to love.
We have some exciting things happening at Alannah Rose in the next couple of weeks. All I’m saying right now is New.
Sooo, I need to update a few things, dot my i’s cross my t’s, and google is not playing nice (or the fact that my technical issues this week have extended to everything), so here is my request.

I know so many of you have linked to me, posted my parties over the last five years, for that I thank you so much. I always try to say thank you for those I know of, and add you to my blogroll.
If you have me in your blog roll – and I have not (and I”m so sorry I haven’t!) added you into mine yet, can you please comment below or email me?
Likewise, if you have featured one of our parties and I haven’t spoken or emailed you this week, could you please do the same with a link to the party? A lot of you I know of, but I just want to make sure I haven’t missed anyone. I’ll be making some requests for ‘as featured on banners’ from you!
thanks so much everyone – and always for your support of our business, it means so much! x
