So sorry I haven’t had a chance to share more of our party preparations with you this week — my only excuse is that I’ve been too busy preparing to write! As a small consolation, here are a few of the things I’ve been inspired by – cinnamon sticks, red and white baker’s twine, glassine treat bags, burlap linen, tree trunk cake stands, and mini pennant flags. Stick around next week to see how it all came together, complete with photos and lots of recipes!

My Mom’s birthday is today (hi Mom!). This is the card I sent her. I repurposed the letterpress graphic on the front from this card that my pen pal Molly sent me (hi Molly!). Molly has excellent taste in stationery, and I was happy to be able to pass on the letterpress love.
P.S. Y’all should acquire a pen pal. It is really an excellent thing to have.

Loving these brightly-hued cupcake liners from Bake It Pretty. I can see these heading for someone’s stocking come December…

That’s right, I made placecards. Even though there will only be four of us, including guests.
But I love them, and they took me all of about two minutes to make. Want a set of your own? Pick your favorite colors from the paint chip displays at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Fold them in half. Write your guests’ names on them. Et voila.
