Daffodils For Disney

All Set was recently asked to be the floral sponsor for an industry event at The Walt Disney Family Museum. There was no set theme, but mellow yellow was the color choice for the evening. Three arrangements were All Set's donation.

The Big 3-0

This past weekend was the official celebration of my sister's birthday. It was a wonderful weekend filled with family, friends, food, and of course wine. As you'll recall from the invites, (Sealed With A... Fleur-de-lis?) my sister is a fan of any and all things purple. For this particular tablescape, she opted for gold as the accent color.

You know you've done well when the client cries in disbelief- happy client, happy designer. Happy Birthday Tiffany!

From The Heart

When it comes to holidays, my FAVORITE part is opening cards from my loved ones with thoughtful sentiments inside. Take this a step further- a HANDMADE card with thoughtful sentiments inside. Because I had some free time in early February (I say laughingly) I took the time to make my Valentines this year. I can't take credit for this idea, as it was my dear friend Elizabeth who suggested we turn our Saturday lunch date into a craft date instead.

Elizabeth and I cruised the aisles of Michael's carefully- inspecting each shelf to make sure we weren't missing out on something fabulous to help us create our holiday masterpieces.

We spent $26 on supplies and ended up with 16 handmade Valentines (not all pictured here).

Our favorite "couples card"

Our favorite "singles" card

Our favorite "little tike" card

Below I have provided a coupon to Michael's to make your Valentine's Day crafting that much more affordable.

Happy Valentine's Day to all my readers!

Sealed With A... Fleur-de-lis?

Birthdays have always been a BIG deal in the Ferrai Family; therefore, when my sister turns 30 (come February 19), you better believe a ruckus will be made. In preparation for the big day, my mother and I have tag-teamed to produce a wonderful weekend in wine country, something my wine connoisseur sister will adore. My sister also has an adoration for the color purple, gold, and the fleur-de-lis (okay maybe not an adoration, but she really likes these things).

As an early birthday present, I decided to make handmade custom invitations that had Tiffany's name all over them. After a quick trip to Paper Source the crafting began...

The envelopes were lined with purple tissue paper for a softer and more feminine look

The birthday girl's favorite symbol was used to seal the invitations with gold sealing wax

Cheers to the Birthday Girl!
