Tea Party Birthday

My cute friend Kelsey is amazingly talented in more ways then one. We met back when we were both single. We both have kids who are the same age. I have boys & she has girls. I had a blast making her daughter a necklace for her birthday present. Oh how I want a girl so so bad!
I wanted to use a few different colors so that she could wear it with more then one outfit, so I asked Kelsey the colors she wears most & went from there. Jhett was my model while making it, but it was absolutely darling on Brooklyn. She seemed pretty excited about it too.

Of course you can't go to a Tea Party without getting all dolled up! I wanted to wear one of those huge, obnoxious hats you see at the Kentucky Derby. I found this hat for $5 at Styles for Less. I knew it would work perfectly for the plans I had for it.

A little ribbon, feathers, & one giant flower later I had this.

Perfection.

I happened to be a Goodwill on Dollar day & thought I would try & find a vintage dress to wear. Well I totally scored & about died when I found the most perfect dress. The best part was it had the color tag that made it $1!!!

Here is a close up of the detail.

The final result....


Heck Yes!!!
