The Cereal  Buffet Bar went down this morning. I had been sneaking around for weeks finding out everyone's favorite cereals. All the little guests were surprised and so excited to see this sweet spread. I had beautiful personalized spoons waiting for the kids. Rainbow colors seemed perfect for a summer morning affair. Cereals were presented in little beach pails-shovels served as the cereal scoops! I also had fresh oranges with sippers waiting for the kiddies. Flintstones Vitamins to start the day right:) Decorations were simple~Fruit Loop Garlands & Paper Flowers in a milk carton....
Sunny & funny time had by all. Lots of smiles and milk mustaches:) Perfect way to start a Sunday Morning...

unexpected blog love for the crazy ribbon chandelier:)

i totally heart ribbon
and a riot of color

Nothing is more exciting than to find your products or ideas somewhere unexpected. Totally amazing & flattering when that happens...I love surprises like that. Even more astounding & fabulous is when the surprise appearance of a photo, work or idea is credited back to the rightful owning pug:)

I had posted about my colorful ribbon chandelier last year. I just stumbled upon a photo of it on Custom Nursery Art by Kimberly. She has amazing talent--check out her work while visiting:) She also has a link to a DIY tute.....

Back to work over here...Busy week...working on a whole lotta gorgeous stuff:)

The Black, White and Rainbow ZEBRA

Newest design
The Rainbow Zebra

Ribbon Chandelier

Black & White mixed
with Vibrant Colors is just...hip & happening

I adore cellophane. Dramatic and gorgeous
presentation for everything.

Handcrafted, round labels can be used for
favors, decoration, labeling-anything!

I am over the moon for Paper Flowers
I use them for every occasion

I have seriously been dreaming about this design for weeks. Finally finished it and I am so glad I did! Take your standard, adorable zebra-add rainbow stripes, a party hat, pom pom and this zebra is ready to rave. Totally inspired by a fave childhood candy-Fruit Stripe Gum. I am also madly in love with black & white, mixed with vibrant colors. It feels fresh, whimsical and sophisticated for a child's party.

I have also designed a coordinating, colorful Ribbon Chandelier. This makes for a simple and super cool decoration. I love to mix and match ribbon colors, patterns and widths. Perfect for any celebration! The Purple Pug loves to party. Period.

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!
