Ideas for a Sweet Treat Party!

Isn't this just the sweetest Valentine's party decor?!

these photos are from a retail display that i created

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

the theme was inspired by my own 8th birthday party

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

from the pink streamers overhead in the kitchen,

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!

most of these items are made with simple supplies -
many thrifted! - to look like something else. 
they would be perfect as party decor!

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

 * the chair hung on the wall in this display, and i created the bouquet using a few vintage flowers plus flowers from the dollar store, and vintage satin seam binding.

little debby approves 😊
