Elaine held a combined birthday party for her two little clowns, Dawson & Drew. I had the honor of designing and creating some of the partyware for this 3 ring circus. Elaine wanted a primary color palette of red, yellow and blue. She also adored mycircus tent design and I used that for most items. I think she did an absolutely amazing job. Bright, beautiful and thoughtful details. I loved looking at these pictures and I hope you will too. Step right up and enjoy the show:)

Going Bananas for the Circus Monkey

The Full Line of Circus Clown Monkey Goods

It is no secret that I have mad love for all things monkey. I am forever designing new monkey items and I never, ever get tired of them. At least half of my sales are for monkey goods in one design or another. One of my sisters also shares my monkey madness. She even named her business with her monkey love in mind. You can check her out her spectacular art studio here.

I also have an unending adoration of all things circus and carnival. There are many reasons why I love the circus and carnival themed parties and showers. One of them is the use of color and vibrancy. I can literally walk around a carnival for hours just-looking...I find immense beauty in the sights, sounds and smells. Very inspiring.

Another reason that I love the circus and carnival is that my kids adore them. Carnival season is around here is a short flurry of weekend activity and my little boys look forward to each and everyone of them with such joy and anticipation. They mark the calendar. They are good all week so they can go to the Carnival on Saturday. They would sell their prized possessions for a bag of cotton candy.

The Circus Monkey Line was designed with these two great loves in mind. Step right up and enjoy the show!
