Sing A Rainbow

Are rainbows the new Unicorn?  It certainly looks that way,  rainbows seem to be popping up everywhere I look!

It takes me back to being a little girl in the 80's with the Care Bears and Rainbow Bright.

When it comes to colour combinations there are no strict rules, some favour bright, some want sparkle and others crave earthy tones.  

I'm excited to be releasing a new rainbow range of invitations, tags and toppers this week.

I love that just like my unicorn and troll invitations they have a tactile element to them with the yarn tassels that fall at either end of the rainbow - it makes you just want to reach out and touch them.

The invitations are available to personalise in a section of colours - making them perfect for little girls, boys, birthdays, baptisms and naming days. 

I've put together some of my favourite other rainbow finds for you to enjoy, rainbow inspiration is everywhere!

Unicorn Pamper Party

It has been quite some time since I have blogged - about 18 months, so I had forgotten my log in details to be honest!  So much has happened since I posted here last but if you follow me on Instagram and Face Book you'll be up to speed.

Over the weekend our little girl celebrated turning 4 with her tight knit girl gang at The Petite Pamper Parlour.  It was a very sweet affair and so cute to watch the girls indulge in having their hair, nails and make up done then boogie their little butts off on the dance floor.

The girls enjoyed treats provided by The Petite Pamper Parlour, a home made birthday cake made by yours truly, and an AMAZING wall of donuts from Coastal Fringe Cronulla.  The donuts were delicious little works of art by Ivy and Stone.

The photos speak for themselves, so I'll share some of the cute pics I managed to capture.

Tickle the imagination magazine feature

I'm pleased to be able to share with you a recent spread in Tickle the imagination magazine featuring some amazing photos of an ice cream inspired party held at Free Range Living.

Free Range living is situated in Kirrawee and is the brain child of the lovely Deni Fowle.  Deni offers a unique creative learning and well being centre offering a variety of contemporary hand crafts and specialist therapy programs for children and adults.  More recently Deni and her energetic team have started to host childrens' parties.

To be included in this beautiful bright collaboration with a group of other Sydney creatives was lots of fun.  Deni's vision came together just perfectly.  Included in the styled shoot are some Piccolo Studio products that you might be able to spot - I created a custom ice cream garland (an oversized version of the one available in my store) and provided one of my ever popular geometric heart prints, I also created the Uber Cool metallic paper cut which was Deni's idea.

I think it all looks fabulous, if you are a Shire local I highly recommend you consider Free Range Living as your next party venue, or why not even look into a creative workshop.

Isla + Siena turn one!

Last month I had the pleasure of attending a very special (and very stylish) 1st Birthday party.  The party was in celebration of a year of adorable twins Isla and Siena.  The girls' mum is the talented Emma of Your Wedding Flowers, so there was no doubt this would be an impressive event.  The brief Emma gave for the girls invitations was simply 'pink and sparkly'.

I created pink and gold confetti invites that introduced the occasion with the line 'sparkle and shine its' birthday time!'  Each invite was double wrapped in fine gold twine and finished with a sparkly number 1.  To add extra sparkle to the occasion, pink envelopes were lined with gold glitter paper.  This set the theme perfectly and it was followed through with some Piccolo Studio glitter crowns, a two tiered glitter and pink cake, amazing cookies, cupcakes, meringues and chocolate coated oreos.

The cake table Emma decorated was nothing short of spectacular, large marquee letters of the girls initials made a huge impact, and it was all framed by the beautiful ivy that climbs on the outside of the building.  Of course pretty posies of pale pink flowers were scattered amongst the 

sweet treats to complete the picture.

The food was the highest standard party food for a children's party I've ever been to!  The event was held inside Cronulla's Old Library Restaurant, which never disappoints.  The champagne flowed, the food was abundant and the children were entertained by a beautiful birthday fairy!
