Valentine Candy Bar Party



Petite Candy Bar Party







Chinese Party

I'm really into the dipped fortune cookies. They were a hit at my Chinese New Year party earlier this year.



Yummy egg rolls with cute little flags...




Here's my favorite detail: sushi Rice Krispies treats wrapped in fruit leather with colored licorice inside. How creative is that?



And, not to be missed are her invitations. Oh, the invitations. They are just lovely.


Parisian Party



If you have ever read Stephanie Brubaker's blog, you know that everything she touches turns to gold. This is one talented individual, I tell ya. Not only does she have impeccable taste, she is a talented cook and a wonderful party planner.  Here's her latest party endeavor: a Paris-themed birthday for her daughter.

She started off with macaron lollies, and idea she spotted in a recent issue of Donna Hay.




Look at all of those tours Eiffel.  What a charming way to create the atmosphere.
For dessert: crêpes, of course.  My favorite crêpe filling is warm bananas sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. SO.GOOD.

While the girls waited for all of the guests to arrive, they made build-your-own Eiffel Towers from sparkly silver pipe cleaners. Genius!
