We are adoring this sweet mobile our creative customer, Nikki, made for her baby girl, Evie. Using over 40 of our 1″ bare poms, a custom order she initiated, she created a one-of-a-kind nursery mobile. Isn’t it so pretty? Our hearts always skip a beat when we see our goods paired with natural elements.

We admire her vision, we are grateful to have been able to collaborate, and we wish both Nikki and her lovely daughter, Evie,  endless sweet dreams.

Thanks to customer Vera Divera for sharing her birthday photos with us! We had the pleasure of crafting her birthday cake topper. Our pleasure continues as we take in the photos and read more about her party theme: Oinks + Hops: A Teal and Green Ombre Beer Tasting and Whole Hog Roast.

“When I looked at other “beer tasting” parties for inspiration, everything I saw was masculine. I thought, hey girls like beer too! So that’s why I decided to do a beer tasting with a feminine touch — i.e. lots of pretty paper, flowers and teal and green. In addition, I love pork!” – Vera

We love it! Make a party out of your loves = celebration perfection. Check out pictures and the Oinks + Hops party plan on Vera’s blog.

You know what we LOVE about being a little creative studio? Ok, the list is too long for this space, but one thing that we LOVE is that we can take feedback from YOU and put it into play right away. You wanted our retired Heirloom Pom Garland to be bigger and more substantial. You also wanted the poms to keep their poof better. Well, friends…. We’ve done it!

We’ve discontinued our beloved fabric pom garlands and updated them to allow for bigger, more poofy, better POMS – resulting in bigger, more poofy, better POM Garlands! How did we do it? We switched out the fabric for crepe/tissue. We upped the pom size from 2″ to 3″, and we replaced the monofilament hanging mechanism with hardy bakers twine.

Thanks for your feedback. Enjoy the new garlands, which are now available in the shop!

The birth-child of an age-old embellishment + a classic celebration cake. New in the shop + ready to party: Potter+Butler Custom Tassel Cake Topper.

Sweet Kennedy, daughter of Tiffany (who owns the delightful Silver Spoon Baby Planners in Newport Beach , California), turned one!  Every little detail, including our silver Glitter Topper on the beautiful smash cake, comes together to create one pretty adorable celebration honoring this sweet milestone. For more baby’s 1st birthday inspiration, check out more images from the soiree here.

This could easily be a post about our day at the beach this weekend. Or a post about our family photo at the beach.

But instead, this is a post about how obsessed my circle of family and friends is with the Draw Something game app. Have you played it? If not, run! Sign up! It’s a blast.

Notice how Adam is cracking up and staring at his phone even though the photo taker had just said, “Ok. Look up here, everyone. Smile.” The dog and I took the command just fine. Adam, on the other hand, is seriously cracking up at a misplay on Draw Something. This, my friends, is a perfectly captured moment in time of genuine hilarity and the good times produced by Draw Something.

The beach, by the way, was fabulous also.

It’s time for the backdrop to carry its weight in exuding stylish merriment. Thus, our newest addition to the shop: the Potter+Butler Pom Backdrop Collection. Ready to party, and available now in the shop.

I recently got my excited little paws on my great grandma Potter’s spring tablecloth, which I’ve seen countless times on my grandma’s table. Its deep pink color border and accents, along with the sweet flowers, made it the perfect option for covering our Easter table. As the foundation for Easter noshing, this much-loved, well-used table linen, stained with old 1950s family meal goodness, with almost-but-not-quite matching hole patches and sewn on addition to one end (clearly one event called for a longer table and table linen than normal) is a perfect collection of what I know was such a part of how great grandma lived:  A few holes is never reason to throw something out. Get out the needle and thread and patch that thing.  And as far as that goes, if it’s too short, make it longer. Don’t waste money on buying something new when what you’ve got is perfectly good – with a little TLC.

She’s got a point.

Did you have a lovely spring weekend? Were you able to enjoy and put to use some of your favorite things – new and old, alike?
