a Sweet Treat Party!

Welcome to Day 26!

the photos in this post are from a retail display that i created

one Valentine's Day in a vintage boutique... 

i was inspired by my own 8th birthday party

[one of my favorites, and i remember it in great detail!]

from the pink streamers overhead to the kitchen setting,

and the strawberry 'ice cream' to the pink 'cake',

[some of my original 'FooFooFauxFood'TM designs]

so i had a lot of fun putting this together!

first, here's a look at the whole 'party':

 

second, some of the details:

 * a pink child's skirt is the lampshade cover, with a sweet ribbon bow to hold it in place.

     *  'ice cream' in bowls is made from chenille bedspreads and topped with fuzzy white yarn
 * 'ice cream cones' are Christmas ornaments in vintage paper cones with crepe paper ruffles

* party hat is a dollar store purchase, dolled up with vintage papers & ribbons

 * 'bon bons' are tiny Christmas ornaments in cupcake liners

 * stacked glass plate, casserole lid, and footed bowls create a pedestal to hold the bon bons

 * round notepads with pink design look like cookies on a cookie sheet in the open vintage oven

 * the 'cake' is a round tin, covered in chenille from a bedspread and a lace doily

 * sweet favor flags (and banner on back wall) are made from sheet music and stickers

 * this photo [up in my February banner image and used a few times in other posts]

was taken in this display setup, too...

the chair hung on the wall, to the right and above the white vintage stove.
