Garden Birthday Party

A Garden Birthday Party for Isabelle’s First Birthday!

   Her birthday was so awesome! I loved planning, making, and preparing for each piece of it!  Thanks to Pinterest for ideas!  I started making butterfly garlands to decorate our living room, dining room, and kitchen about two months ago.  Hey, with my hubby working late and Isabelle sleeping by 7:30 each night (wonderful baby!!!) I needed something to do!  It was priceless seeing my hubby’s face when he came home and there were butterflies everywhere! :

I saved tin cans, washed them up, and then spray painted them to hold flowers, flatware, and pinwheels.  

This is the Spray Paint in Copper

The decorations included:

pinwheels (boy did those bring back memories, I am happy I remembered how to do it :).  

embroidery hoop mobiles for our enclosed front porch.  

our herbs

The background are pictures of Isabelle throughout the one year held together with clothespins on a line of jute.

two lemon trees that became “wishing trees” so our guests could write prayers/wishes for Isabelle on little tags and hang them on the trees.

And for the Food!:

-Homemade Garlic Hummus with Organic Baby Carrots

-Chicken Pita Pockets with Arugula Pesto

-Sausage Cheese Salad (German)

-Pea Pesto Crostini

German Strawberry Cake
