My B-day dinner...

I had a lovely (early B-day) dinner this past weekend. First, Rebecca from Apartment Therapy dropped by my home to shoot it....looking forward to seeing that! Then, my B-day dinner party ....here are a few pics I wanted to share. This year, we decided to place labels next to the food because there were a few Vegans there & it made it easier. I also bought some gorgeous Martha Stewart pom poms (from Michael's Craft Store) instead of balloons for decoration. Oh, & for dessert we purchased the Sprinkles cupcake mix at William-Sonoma.

  20. Jen, happy birthday! those pompoms are so lovely! we had a little cheer leading exercise this weekend (yep, 30+ women running in a park in small shorts and tops, and trying to learn jumps and builds... this was for a friends hen night party, it's a tradition to do something fun girly stuff like this) but our pompoms were a bit more.. um, from the 90's? :) have a great day!

  57. Looks like a perfect party! Love that serving tray that the white Sprinkles cupcakes are on! I have yet to try the mix for those, did you like them?

    Happy belated/early birthday! hehe

    ReplyDelete
  58. HI STACIE:
    It was a great little party, thanks!
    The trays are from Target by the way..found them & had to get a couple.
    As for the SPRINKLES mix, not bad at all..you have to be super careful to bake it EXACTLY as they say LITERALLY. One small change & it ruins it. But they were darn good!

  59. Happy B-Day! Looks like you had lots of fun!! : )
