Happy Birthday to The Prettier Party!  I can’t believe where I was a year ago and where I am now – it seems like almost everything has changed in such interesting and wonderful ways.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of my friends and followers – you make it so much fun to share my thoughts and tid-bits with the cyber world.   (Just a side note, if one of you wanted to send me one of those cakes, you’d become my favorite).

noi notes.

Handwritten notes are always en vogue.  Cute handwritten notes mean that much more.  I can’t think of anything much better these days than the rare but exciting feeling of receiving a handwritten stationery-sized envelope in the mail.

Well on that note (no pun intended…), Cary must have read my mind as for Christmas she gave me the most adorable stationery and opened my eyes to the cutesy tasteful notecards from noi publishing.  I love their fresh collection (below) and their pretty pretty notecards, which I discovered can also be purchased in the UK last month.

Whatever the reason for snail mail correspondence – make it charming and fun with noi!


fiesta in a (pink) box.

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
I have been dying to write about my party in a box but I’ve had to be patient so as not to give away any surprises… I concocted this arrangement as a thank you to (requested insert here: my wonderful boyfriend) Vassar’s parents, who have been sooo kind to put up with me for an entire week in Maine!

After hitting up Balducci’s, my absolute weakness when it comes to grocery stores, I set off to find the perfect container for all these South of the Border delights. Creativity got the best of me – I used the box my calling cards were sent in and found pink wrapping and polka dot tissue paper scraps, and ta-da! The perfect thank you party!
