BIRTHDAY ON THE BRAIN

My baby Bird's birthday is still 5.5 months away, but I couldn't resist starting a Pinterest board in preparation for the BIG day. He very much loves to grab at our kitty (who is kind enough not to hiss or claw), and he very much loves balloons ... so right now I am thinking a lot about cute cats (I adore this print, and will be ordering it soon) + big polka dot balloons + stripey straws (because you can ever get enough of them).

And of course, as I am brainstorming/Googling cats + balloons + paper straws, I am also stumbling across all kinds of other lovely -- like the best-ever vintage airplane party spotted here. I am in love. With the theme. With the colors. With the candy (freakin'!) airplanes. With the decor. With it all. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Bird will adore airplanes the way I adore this party.

If, like me, you want to knock-off this perfect party -- EMMELINE has vintage Blue mason jars + galvanized buckets + wire bins for rent. Just add some stripey straws, candy airplanes, streamers, and cute favor bags and you are (almost) set.
