Happy Friday Find

With Summer winding up in just a week or so (not that we have had a 'real' summer here in Sydney this year) all the gorgeous handmade stores I adore are starting to release 'sneak peaks' of their Autumn/Winter ranges. So many new things and I find myself already buying a few new winter goodies for both my kids!!


When I spotted this sweet Bunting Pinny by Sugar Plum Tree I fell in love - how super sweet for my little girl, who will ONLY wear dresses at the moment, and perfect for layering in the cooler days!!
Happy Friday xx

Media: SHOP 4 Kids

Who has a copy of the latest issue of Shop 4 Kids? It came out on Monday and is once again a great read - I always find something new or unique in this mag!


Anyway if you have a copy (& if not, I suggest you grab one) flick to the party inspirations pages especially page 160 where you'll spot some Giggleberry Creations Pastel Polka Dot bunting as part of The Lorax party themed page. Yay!


Always a thrill to find my handmade goodies in such gorgeous magazines - Thanks Shop 4 Kids!

Skiing themed 40th birthday party - Photo props!


Remember I was telling you HERE how I would be using some old ski boots as part of the table decorations for hubby's ski themed 40th this weekend? Well this is what they will be used for - photo prop holders!!
The clever Samone of Cake Ink. designed me some fun and funky 70's style ski themed props. Beanies, ski googles, moustaches, glasses, mittens, fluffy hats and more. I printed them off, cut them out, mounted them on foam core then attached to a paper straw (so easy).


With these on the table for the night and lots of cameras handy I think we could have quite a few laughs!!

Easter Bunting

It seems there is a want for sweet Easter themed bunting this year so hearing your requests I have been sewing away.

When I spotted this pastel fabric I knew it would be prefect for some Easter bunting. Small and medium sized Easter eggs print in both floral and striped patterns on a white background fabric then sewn into a soft blue grosgrain ribbon makes this bunting one super cute addition to your home for Easter in just a few short weeks.


With a handful of these cuties already been snapped up I have a very limited amount of the banners left soooooo first in first served!

Email me at giggleberrycreations@gmail.com if you would like to order one of these quick before they hippity hoppity hop away

Skiing themed 40th birthday party - Map Placemats!

Just 2 weeks till hubby's Skiing themed 40th birthday party. His actual birthday was yesterday so we celebrated with gifts, a special dinner at home and I may have had a big bunch of helium balloons delivered to him at work - teehee.
With a few props and decorations sorted to throw around on the restaurant tables for the night all sorted I wanted something a little more personalised for the guests place settings so I came up with the idea of a Ski Map Placemat with words of things in Matt's life (hobbies, job, kids names, etc) as the markings on the map.... I then threw this idea at the design legend, Samone, from Cake Ink. with a pretty please and she had a play.
Check out what Samone came up with - Awesome!!


It's probably a bit small for you to see details but there are markings like 'Amy Alps', 'Poker Peak', 'Harrison Hut' & "Father Free Fall' and the tallest mountain on the map is marked as '1972 (hubby's birth year) Miles Above Sea Level' - cool hey?


Samone has also designed some coasters


and straw discs for the table setting to match the Ski Pass Invites
I think the table is going to look fab with all these goodies put together! What do you reckon??

Happy Friday Find!

Rain, rain go away. Come again another day. It has been one wet week here in Sydney and the forecast tells us there is more to come - 22 days with rain fall of the next 27 days!! Where is summer??
It's a great excuse to pull out the warm and comfy clothes though and now I am dreaming about owning a pair of these really cute and comfy looking Bunting Shoes handmade by Askidas to wear around the house.


Hope you are staying high and dry where you are. Happy Friday xx
