Lilly Kate's 1st Birthday: OH THE PLACES SHE'LL GO!




This is a very special cake knife as you will see...we will use it to cut Lilly Kate's birthday cake for many years to be...While she is so tiny it is hard to believe that one day she will be all grown up and ready to leave...A trip down the isle she will take...a home of her own she will make...when she is ready to cut her wedding cake she will have the perfect old birthday knife to take.

"Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way." -Dr. Seuss

Guest favors included styrofoam airplanes, globe beach balls & wine coolers for adults. 


Pink lanterns and airplanes hung in the trees.
Styrofoam airplanes were purchased at the Dollar Store and I painted them with 
Valspar Frosty Berry Paint + Primer spray paint.
 (they would also be adorable in a nursery or playroom)


I collect vintage suitcases and was thrilled to use them as decoration.

Pinwheel made out of an old map.

Candy Bar for guests to fill a goodie bag to-go


Dr. Suess quotes and pinwheel maps pinned to ruffle fabric


DYI Ombre letters
Letters I purchase at Michaels. I used spray glue and lots of glitter.

A few weeks after I found out I was pregnant I came across this wood highchair at Goodwill for $20. I spray painted it using Valspar Frosty Berry Paint + Primer spray paint.
