paris candy shop birthday
Annmarie of near-Boston, Massachusetts sent me this adorable ‘Parisian Candy Shop’ party for her daughter Lucy’s 4th birthday. Everything is just as I imagine a little girl would dream of…pink, fluffy, light-goodness.
The cake is a masterpiece (Annmarie was inspired by this one); and the paper cones the girls used for treats are a favorite of mine as well. I bet those little ones were on quite a sugar high…
This bike parade/picnic birthday party has me ready for spring. I’m in love with the bottom photo…look at that caravan of bikes!
Just came across for a $50 Williams-Sonoma gift card and double-cherry lollies!
ideas for an art-based birthday party…here. Happy 5th Birthday, Madelyn!
More of Bee’s party here.
I must admit I am not a fan of the real-life circus. But Cirque Du Soleil and circus-themed birthday parties are just dandy!
Dana went all-out for her son Henri’s first birthday party. I’m personally in love with the favors (look at that amazing fabric and ticket-stub tags!). That cake- especially the lettering- really has me hooked. And all of the sweet vintage touches keep it from feeling like a ‘factory-ready’ party. I really adore everything, with the exception of the occasional tilted photo (a personal pet peeve of mine). Tip: Try cropping your photos differently or putting your ‘scene’ in a corner of the photo next time and see what a difference it will make!
I also heart the spelling of Henri’s name. You can see all the love and hard work that was put into this lovely affair!

And- OH! For those with kids- this article is laugh-out-loud funny.
I’m enthralled by this Tampa-based pirate party! Read more here.
This party looks like every little girl’s dream…
…and on a sidenote: I apologize to anyone whose comments I haven’t responded to. If you’d like to send me photos of your party, please email them to hickspapergoods(at)yahoo(dot)com. I can’t promise I that I can publish all of them, but I do love seeing each and every one! If you have a direct question for me, that’s also the best way to reach me. I don’t have any way of knowing when a new comment pops up unless I go back and look through all the old posts, which I often don’t have time for (so sorry!). It’s not that I’m ignoring you.
But I DO love all of your comments- thank you and keep ‘em coming! On the days that it doesn’t seem worthwhile to have a blog, they definitely sustain me. Lastly-regrettably, I’m not able to supply ideas for those of you looking for help planning a specific kind of party. If and when I come across some great inspiration I will be the first to pass it along- but I simply don’t have the time or resources to invest in party planning, though I wish I did! Thank you to all of you for your continued readership. -sara
For some reason I seem to be all kid parties this week. This is another favorite from Sharnel. Her 3 year-old William, had a ‘Wild Animals’ themed birthday party. Click here for more.
FYI- We moved out of the house this morning and into my in-law’s as the tree damage to the house begins repairs. I might be a bit more scattered with my posts for the time being.
