Penny’s Alice in Wonderland Party

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

Ideas and Inspiration for Planning a Halloween Party in Australia

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I must admit that I’m a pretty late bloomer when it comes to Halloween.  Being such an American tradition, we didn’t celebrate it in Australia when I was growing up.  Watching Halloween specials of the Cosby Show, Roseanne (yes, I confess), the Simpsons and Beverly Hills 90210 was about as spooky as it got around [...]

Grand Outdoor Aisle Wedding Decorating Inspiration

Monday, July 20th, 2009

I think this might be the most beautifully decorated aisle I have ever seen – better than any celebrity wedding, more stunning than any wedding I have attended.  The chandeliers over the aisle are simply divine, the coastline in the background, the floristry and the flower studded chair covers all combine to make a truly [...]
