friday finds

The last of the party supplies came in the mail yesterday.  F was pretty excited when we opened them last night.  I decided awhile back to do individual ice cream cups for the different homemade ice creams.  Shop Sweet Lulu had some really cute ones, but when I finally sat down to order them they were temporarily sold out.  I checked back with Sweet Bliss Containers to see if they offered anything smaller than a pint size (they are my go-to ice cream container supplier).  No dice.  Then I found Garnish, and proceeded to order everything else I needed from them.  Candy tubes above for the rainbow colored sixlets F's been eyeing at Oh Lolli Lolli for awhile.  These really cute corrugated ice cream cups with lids.  I even got some more wooden spoons to add to the mix.  These are plain, so I'll fancy them up with those rainbow gel pens I used on the invitations.

And then, crepe paper in all the colors of the rainbow - the girls and I are going to make some fancy streamers that we'll use for both parties.  E's got her whole party planned out - down to the three page outline of details.  I'll post that this weekend.  It's a hoot.  Which reminds me - I never let her blog about her favorite summer reads.  I realized after I said that I would, that she'd likely scroll through some recent posts and possibly discover the secret room redo planned for her birthday.  So she's banned from the blog for awhile...

Hope you found a little color this Friday.  Or something like ice cream to beat the heat.  Drop me a line and let me know how hot it is in your neck of the woods. (108 here again today.  Ugh.)
