A couple of weeks ago, our little Lou turned seven. She wanted a mermaid party inspired by her last Halloween costume. It was so much fun designing the details.
Melissa custom-made these invitations for us. Lou was so excited for the day of her party to finally arrive.Luckily, her theme matched our porch. 😉Mint is Lou’s favorite color, so it made things very easy.
Etsy is my place for all things fabulous. How fantastic are these tablecloths?
However, I had the brilliant idea of surprising the girls with goldfish thinking that they could double as centerpieces. (I know, I am a maniac.) I figured it was a great lesson in responsibility. Much to my chagrin, my girls are far more responsible than I thought… I also learned that these goldfish can live up to 40 years. Yowsa.But they love them. Lou named hers Sparkles, and E named hers Lucky.Just two more animals on this crazy farm… but back to the decorations…
We made the caramel starfish cupcake toppers out of a mold that I bought at Michael’s.And were able to use a ton of beachy decorations that we already had.Naturally, all of the food resembled some sort of sea creature.Phish Food is Lou’s absolute favorite ice cream. The girls had fun making their own drinks with candy fish swimming in them.
The party favors were my favorite element of the party. I bought these bags, had them embroidered with each girls’ name and glued on these crocheted starfish.We filled them with these wands and flower necklaces that we made with trim from our local fabric store.
The birthday girl had such a great time.. I love her little face so much!

Whether it’s being 38, lack of sleep or genetics (or a combination of the three) the dark circles under my eyes have really been bothering me as of late. So, I did extensive research, tried out more than I can even imagine and have my round up of the best on the market. Bye-Bye bags!
Summa Summa Summatime! (Love me some DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.) There’s no better way to turn up a party than a great signature cocktail. Impress your guests with one of these easy to make libations.
Okay, I don’t know how to post this without divulging too many details or sounding uber-creepy, but we have some REALLY exciting things going on here and are looking to you all to join in the fun! We are having a photoshoot next month and I am on the hunt for a few models. You don’t have to have any professional experience at all. I am looking for women (local to the DC area) with a unique look and a sense of style. If this is you, please email me at klnsalmon@yahoo.com (head shots included.) This is an unpaid gig, but you will get to keep digital copies of all prints for your portfolio and there will be quite a few perks….. promise!
