pinspiration for a throwing a spring fling.

there is nothing quite like seeing green grass and blue skies again to make me want to celebrate! pinterest is my new favorite resource for party-throwing inspiration. here are my top ten faves for spring.

pretty pops of color on this table setting | polka dot straws (too cute).

wuvving this watermelon display | fab favors in spring hues.

happily stacked cupcakes | tall flags on cupcakes (so darling.)

beautiful banners | garlands galore.

playful ice cream sandwiches (my fave) | cutest carrots ever.

thank you caroline for letting me share some party ideas! congrats on your newest addition. 
xo.  marta
