The winners have been chosen:
Nico’s second birthday just came and went. I can’t believe how quickly my little one is growing. But with everything else going on in our lives we couldn’t pull together a great big party to celebrate another year. So we opted for a smaller family party. My parents came and my brother-in-law’s family was here from out of town. It was a nice way to celebrate his birthday. We even had really yummy GFCF cupcakes from my favorite GFCF bakery (Camden Cakes if you are interested), they were a hit with even the non-GFCF’er in the group. But I think what really helped to make it a celebration was the decorations. Unfortunately I was so involved in getting things right that I forgot to get some pictures!
Recently Trisha from Piggy and Pebbles (an Etsy shop of homemade goodies), sent me some wonderful paper lanterns and they were perfect for celebrating a birthday. I also especially like them for any outdoor parties you may be having. I can see them as the perfect addition to a summer patio party, or a great way to celebrate a new graduate. They would be great in a child’s playroom or as decoration for a baby shower.
There are fourteen lanterns on a 10 to 11 foot long 100% cotton string. Each lantern is 2 inches square. Piggy and Pebbles is a mother and daughters business. Trisha has an art degree, while her mother is working on one and her sister has a Ph. D. in Human and Molecular Genetics. Trisha started making her lanterns after finding a passion for paper and a need to keep her hands busy. And as she says “These lanterns …are perfect for this time of year. Everyone can use a little bit of random festivity!”
