Fab Find: Tasting Party Collection
January 18th, 2011 by Carrie Sellman | 5 Comments

We feature so many parties that include mini desserts, mini drinks, mini everything!  Have you ever wondered where to find the mini glasses, bowls, spoons and plates?  I’ve seen everything when it comes to finding the right mini supplies.  One hostess even used children’s play cutlery for the mini spoons.  Talk about creative!  But now there is a much easier way to achieve this look.  Pier 1 Imports has a whole new line of products to help you serve up all of your mini creations.  Check out their Tasting Party Collection.
Tasting Party Collection from Pier 1

Its been a few months since I’ve been in to Pier 1 to check out what’s new.  A baby stroller does not work well with the tight aisles and breakable displays typically found in Pier 1.  So I was very excited to slip in for a few minutes by myself – and even more excited to see this whole new collection of serving wear.  No more searching all over town and the internet to find mini spoons!!  The only problem now is deciding which pieces I want!

See all of the mini collection here at Pier 1 Imports. Happy tasting!

Fab Find: Handcrafted Wedding Treasure
January 13th, 2011 by Carrie Sellman | 11 Comments

Prepare yourself to be amazed!  Today’s Fab Find is truly fabulous and I’m in awe of the talent and creativity it required.  Take a good look at this wedding cake… at first it may seem like another beautiful cake creation.  In reality, it is so much more.  This cake, created by Tracey Mason, was crafted from paper!  Yes that’s right.  No sugar, flour or eggs here.  Just paper.  Tracey created the cake as a special way to give a wedding gift card.  Now that is THE most fabulous gift card holder I’ve ever seen!

You’re amazed, aren’t you?!  Tracey is obviously a talented crafter to create such an intricate and gorgeous cake out of paper!  I was so impressed with this cake that I enlisted Tracey for a little project I’m working on.  I am just thrilled that she’s on board!   More on that to come later.  Trust me, you’ll LOVE it!

A very special thank you to Tracey Mason for sharing her gorgeous Paper Wedding Cake – Gift Card Holder with us.  It truly is a handcrafted wedding treasure.  You can read more about this project here on Tracey’s blog.  Be sure to look around while you’re there!  You will find oodles of paper craft (and photography!) inspiration and guidance!

It’s the last week before Christmas and it’s go time!  Everyone is busy with last minute shopping, decorating, baking and wrapping.  And I’m right there with you!  I am almost – almost finished with our Christmas cards so hopefully they will make it to the mailbox today.  It still counts as long as they’re mailed before Christmas, right?  Anyway, today I thought I’d share a quick little Fab Find that I found over on Paper Crave.  A combination of Christmas and cupcakes – how could it get any better?  This charming Cupcake Liner Christmas Tree is the perfect last minute craft to make your holidays festive.
