Tea & Butterflies

With all this talk of bento boxes and food artistry, I was looking for a theme to incorporate them both. And I found THE perfect party idea on the Swanky Tables Blog! Annette created the cutest Butterfly Tea Party with the most vibrant color palette! love how the party girl"s dress compliments the decor
great tablescape with lanterns, butterflies, fans, and cute take out boxes

They have posted more party pics & on their blog at http://www.swankytablesblog.com/2009/07/butterfly-tea-party-pictures.html Sayonara!

Kids, Play With Your Food!

A few of you commented on how much you liked the bento boxes I posted yesterday! I started thinking, what can put in bento boxes a little more fun for the kids? And then I discovered a bento box contest from Weird Asian News-I had no idea anything like this exisited.


For the younger ones, I found these....

Out to lunch


One of the ideas I had for the Back to School Bash was to have the kids decorate their own lunch boxes & to take them home as favor boxes. (I couldn't get them delivered on time so we will definitely do that next year) When I was searching for lunch boxes, I found these fun alternatives that you might want to send with your little one to school. these cute critters double as a lunch box and place mat from lunchboxes.com
