Print, trim and treat {free christmas treat printables}
the restThis week I’ve started my Christmas Baking. I thought it might be nice to have some little tags to go on the baked goods, so I’ve designed these these sweet “A treat to eat” tags to pretty them up.
Today, I’m offering the file for these little tags as a free printable. Just click here to download the file, type your treat name into the blank space, print, trim and add to your treats. Sweet!
If you’re looking for some easy baking ideas, head on over to Taste, I made this super easy White Chocolate Rocky Road, but beware, it’s delicious, and you may not have enough left to give away….

Carousel {celebration}
inspiration boards, partiesNothing quite says childhood like an old fashioned carousel- our Take Me To The Fair party invitation conjures up thoughts of fairy floss, ferris wheels and all the naughty food you shouldn’t eat but is so wonderful for little eyes to feast upon!
For little girls, keep your colour palette in soft pastel stripes- lots of pinks, lilacs, soft blues and lemon yellows. Serve your favourite old fashioned treats in carnival style containers and decorate with beautifully created musical carousels.

Sunday Find ~ Or A {delightful} Way To Spend A Sunday
parties, sunday findsToday I spent a lovely afternoon with the gorgeous Siobhan and Vanessa from Details Details and Prue from Gigi & Lulu at Nest in Albert Park. A perfect way to get together to celebrate and remember Ava.
Nest is a fabulous little hotel, decked out in black and white, with black chandeliers and white bird cages. On Sunday’s they offer a Vintage High Tea – and it’s delightful. The chicken sandwiches and chocolate cake were my favourites, but it was all delicious.
They have a great space perfect for any type of function, including weddings, baby showers and hen’s days. Now just to figure out what function I can have there just to use the space….
And don’t forget, if you’re planning on hosting a Tea Party, you’ll need invitations… head over to the Beauty-Full Collection for the month of August. All invitations in the range have been designed in memory of Ava and are available for $10.00. 100% of the cost going to charity.
Alannah Rose {wedding} ~ Vibica & Craig ~ Black And White Butterfly Garden Invitations
alannah rose weddings, weddingsFollowing our theme of the week – black and white, I’ve got another lovely real wedding to share today – the beautiful wedding of Vibica and Craig.
Vibica and Craig were married on Saturday 24th October, 2009 with their reception celebration held at The Beach House, Nielsen Park, Vaucluse, Sydney.
We worked with Sweet Art on Vibica and Craig’s wedding to create a beautiful black and white wedding stationery suite using our Butterfly Garden design. Sweet Art created a stunning black and white butterfly garden cake to tie in with the theme.
Above: Vibica and Craig cut the stunning Butterfly Garden Cake created by Sweet Art.
Above: The black and white butterfly wedding stationery suite included invitations, rsvp cards, place cards, service booklets, table name cards and a seating chart. The couple chose to name each of their guests tables after concerts they had attended together to add a personalised touch.
Above: The room at The Beach House tied in with the black and white theme with classic black chairs and whimsical lanterns adorning the ceiling.
Congratulations Vibica and Craig, thank you for sharing your day with us!

Something Beauty Full. Share, {remember}, Love. For Charity. For Ava.
baby, partiesA few weeks ago when I was in the midst of planning Ella’s 4th birthday party, the gorgeous girls at Details Details sent me an email one night.
It was an email that told me a story I didn’t know, but it’s a story I will never forget, and it brought me to tears, as it does now whilst I’m writing this.
A story of a little girl named Ava, a little girl similar in age to my own daughter, a little girl who tragically is no longer with us, and her inspirational mother Sheye Rosemeyer. If you don’t know the story, you can read more about it here.
Ava loved tea parties, as all little girls do, they’d even had one planned, but sadly they never got a chance. Each year the Rosemeyer’s in memory if Ava plan a tea party around August 22, for them it’s a chance “ to turn our missing and wishing into something to have and to hold”.
This year, Ava’s Tea Party is growing to a new level. It’s something we can all participate in.
In Sheye’s words
(image and words taken from the Ava’s tea party website)
So it is here the Details Details girls’ vision comes into play. Inspired by Ava’s story, they contacted 9 of Australia’s leading stationery designers (Alannah Rose included). It was an email asking us to participate, to join them, to share, and donate our time in creating the perfect invitation for Ava’s Tea Party. An invitation that anyone, wishing to hold a tea party could use, to share, to remember, to love.
Together, in our own way and style, myself and the other designers have created 9 unique Tea Party invitations, which come together to create the Beauty-Full collection. A limited collection of printable invitations, that you can purchase in the name of Ava and in the name of charity to host your own Tea Party.

They are priced at just $10.00 for the file, you can print as few or as many as you wish, available only at Details Details, and available only until the end of August 2010. 100% of the sale of these invitations will go to Paradise Kids. 100%.
So. Hold a Tea Party. Purchase an invitation. Whether you use it this August, or sometime in the near future, just do it. Life is too short to miss out on such a simple pleasure.

Alannah Rose Party – Ella’s Lovely {ladybird} Garden Party (ladybugs)
alannah rose parties, baby, partiesMy lovely little ladybird turned 4 last week and we celebrated on the weekend with a Ladybird party. I didn’t want to do a heavy red and black theme, so we decided to turn it into a Ladybird Garden party, going for a natural look and incorporating lots of pretty garden colours. Ella received a beautiful lavender fairy dress from her Nan which she wanted to wear for the party, so we used this as an accent colour alongside reds and pinks, but keeping the ladybug elements in their red and black.
Considering it is winter in Melbourne, and freezing, it was necessary to have an indoor party, so we decided to bring the garden inside! The dessert table was covered in artificial turf and our garden party grew from there!
Above: The dessert table, covered in artificial turf set the scene for the ladybirds garden; Wooden lady bugs dotted amongst the foliage; homemade cupcakes; Alannah Rose Lovely Ladybird Invitations; Ella’s Ladybird Birthday Banner
Above: Homemade gingerbread flowers potted in watering cans; sweet pink lemonade bottles with paper straws (from details details); the birthday girl
Above: Party Food – Potted Gingerbread flowers; Jelly beans; potted marshmallows and tiny toadstools; fairybread flowers, cupcakes; marshmallows dipped in chocolate, Yum!
Above: The beautiful two layer ladybird birthday cake was made by my very talented Mum! (thanks mum, so much it is exactly as I imagined x)
Above: little party guests enjoying the fare; pretty pom pom flowers adorned the roof of the kids party room for a garden feel; the children’s party table was set with ladybird antennae (homemade) for the kids to take home (plus ant antennae for the boys) and ladybird garden colouring sheets (free printable colouring sheet file available with purchase of our lovely ladybird invitations on request) and potted gingerbread flowers
Above: Also in the party room were the loot buckets – filled with plastic magnifying glass, ladybird clickers (remember those old fashioned metal ones?), lollies, blowouts and balloons – ‘fly me home’ were the instructions from miss ladybird; party games – a jar full of chocolate ladybirds went ‘missing’ each child was handed a net to catch the ladybirds and bring them home. They were then divided up and tied into the nets for the children to take home with their lolly buckets. This game was a big hit with the kids!
Other games included pass the lucky dip – my variation of pass the parcel – rather than wrapping prize upon prize into paper, I put individual prizes into paper bags which were passed around in a larger gift bag for the children to ‘lucky dip’ when the music stopped.
