Happy Birthday Sis!

Tomorrow is my sister Jen's birthday.
I decided to throw a party for her although she is about 250 miles south of me and really can't be here for it- so we'll pretend!

There are 4 of us sisters so I'm going to pretend we're all here celebrating together. 

I wanted something fairly feminine so I chose this ruffled edge placemat to go with these scalloped edge dishes and a dainty embroidered floral napkin.


The mini cloche's make such a cute display and the curly ribbon added some more birthday flair!

I'm no good at cake decorating but I did manage 
to add these little candy pearls.  I got smart (for a change) and dumped them in a bowl and just dipped the cupcake upside down into it and like magic they're decorated!!  



More curly ribbons!





Time to celebrate!

I am joining the following parties-

  3. I wish all of you could sit and enjoy this lovely table! Thanks for the cupcake tip, quite brilliant! I remember recently trying to use those delicate pearls and they do bounce right off the icing!

  7. Liz, Liz, Liz....Oh, Liz! You have just DONE IT, girl!!! DONE IT!!!!!!!! This is so, so delicate and pretty. I just know your sisters would hitchhike if they had to just to get to this table you've set!!! Girlfriend! It's so pretty!!! I just love pink, and you have done it in a way that makes it the epitome of all that is sweet and feminine and light. The addition of the curling ribbon is so sweet, especially within the floral arrangement. That's a great way to perk up a vase of flowers!

    Happy Birthday to Jen, and kudos to you for creating a table where ANY sister would be tickled pink to sit!

  9. Very pretty table for your sister Jen, even though she is miles apart. she should feel so special. what girl or woman doesn't like a sweet pink table. Your dishes and napkins are so frilly and you added a fun whimsical touch with the curling ribbon.

  10. What a lovely table for Jen! We have all three of our boys' birthdays this month so it is a big party time here. I thought of doing a birthday table but ran out of time with everything else - maybe next week. I love the cloches - I need to drag mine out again. They certainly aren't easy to store are they?

  16. Happy Birthday to your sister! Your table is delightful! You have the pretttiest china pattern. It's the perfect setting for all the girls. My sisters and I try to get together to celebrate our birthdays too, but like you, it doesn't always happen.

  17. Oh sweet Liz, your sister's 'pretend' birthday party is gorgeous! She missed it alright! Hope you sent her pictures of the gorgeous tablescape with the beautiful china and lovely centerpiece! We make a point to celebrate hubby's siblings's b'days, but some do and some don't! Thank you so much for your sweet and kind comment for our anniversary.
    Hugs,
