felt lovelies

/
Word on the street is that Hable Construction is closing their NYC storefront, to focus on other ventures. I've long loved their store- it's one of those inspirational spots I always stop by (even though it is SO out of the way) every time I'm in the city. Sigh. Another one bites the dust.

I'm still loving these felt lovelies by Llubav Choy Duerr- creations she made for the store back in December (via Design Sponge). For you NYCers- get in there and rack up while the gettins' still good!

One day I envision have lots of time on my hands and creating a mini felt garland like the one shown above. But not anytime soon.

Sharon Slaughter and I have followed much of the same path. We went to the same graduate school, we both worked at Martha Stewart (she was in the Kmart division and then moved to the Weddings magazine as an art director), and then went on to start paper goods companies in smaller towns. So I was thrilled to see her lovely rehearsal dinner on Snippet & Ink- I loved everything about it, not to mention it was in a Tennessee town!

Perhaps my two favorite details were the custom pinãta and 'mexican-style' flags. My brain is just swimming with ideas as to how to use these sources!

worst favor ever?

A friend told me of a recent Finding Nemo-themed birthday party...the party itself was just dandy, she proclaimed- but the 'favor' they gave out at the end- were live goldfish, all individually bagged up and ready to go! She somehow got out of accepting the fish, but she said the other moms were in horror as they had to scramble to get fish food, a tank, etcetera. I'm sure the birthday mom had the best intentions when she came up with this idea, but I have to say it wins my all-time worst party favor so far! Do you guys have any other doozies?
