Meri Meri Cupcakes

Cupcakes, especially when adorned by a great cupcake topper, is one of my favorite party decorations.

A few weeks ago I was in our local (small town) drugstore, picking up a prescription. I love wandering around the drugstore, because they have all kinds of fun things to look at. Everything from the general pharmacy type goods, to books, puzzles, shoes, home decor....and these adorable cupcake kits from Meri Meri.

Love this 'Let Them Eat Cake' set that I saw...

And this pirate set...how cute would that be for a little boy's birthday party?!

If you can't find these locally, you can pick them up from this page of the Meri Meri website.

Entertaining Idea

I was just looking through the Pier 1 flyer that arrived in my mailbox last week, and found this idea for entertaining that I just had to share.

They have a new collection of dishes that was designed just for parties. They have little dishes, ramekins, and big platters that fit all of the minis. It's perfect if you entertain a lot!

There are more beautiful pictures, recipes and party ideas on the website....so check out more HERE!

Beverage Jars

I've been considering buying a beverage jar for awhile now. I got an email from Sur la Table today advertising their beverage jars at 20% off. So I popped onto their website and saw the jars pictured above. I think the Beehive jar is adorable!


So then I decided to look around a bit and see what else is out there...





PotteryBarn has some great options. The jar pictured above is acrylic which would be great for outdoors, especially if children are involved!

Another one of my favorites from PotteryBarn is the Mason Jar collection.



You can round out the beverage dispenser and mugs with these hanging Mason Jar Lanterns. How fun would that be for an outdoor dinner party?!




Now all we need in Seattle is a little Summer weather....
