Thanks for your emails, messages and reaching out to me during my blogging hiatus! I’ll share more thoughts soon but I just needed a break after working on my next Dear Lizzy collection and a book. I sure missed you! xoxo, Lizzy
A Birthday party pow-wow came about for one reason. I wanted to make a tee-pee! Avery was thrilled for the idea because one of her favorite movies is Peter Pan and she insisted on being Tiger Lily & she knew there would be cake involved.
Here are some of the details:
-Chocolate dipped huge marshmallows topped with rock candy (nerds), gold rock sprinkles, grated cookies etc
-Jars with diecut lids and striped straws
-An arrangement of mini succulents each in a pot then in an wood Ikea candle holder
-Felt Fox stuffed toys for favors
-Made my own arrows with wood, washi tape, and felt
-A pretty plant from Home Depot. The leaves reminded me of feathers.
-Burlap Tablecloth
-Dip dyed bags with favors
ARROW CUPCAKES
PARTY HATS FOR INDIAN FRIENDS
THE CAKE: was my favorite part! I found a local cake extraordinaire and I told her what I wanted. Chevron stripes, flowers and make even a fox somewhere. It turned out amazing. It’s called Piece of Cake. Do you like the little pokes in the frosting from anxious, drooling indians?
RIBBON WANDS:
PARTY HEADDRESS & FRINGE
FELT FOX FAVORS AND SUCCULENTS
What I used to display the Roasted Marshmallows (chocolate dipped mallows) A canister that I spray painted and filled with white beans. Wrapped with fabric and added a diecut feather from Silhouette and a real feather with yarn. You can also see the diecut jar lids and straws.
Her headdress was so fun!
I cut a piece of felt. Sewed some vintage lace at the top and elastic in the back. Put washi tape around some pasta noodles and some string. Added feathers inside the noodles and along the felt.

Hi Lizzy,
I SO missed your blog. I was worried about you:) Glad your good, busy, and CANNOT wait to see your new line!!!!!!! The birthday party was SO adorable!!!
Oh, what an amazing party!
So sweet, it looks like she had a lovely time.
Cutest party ever! Even though it is Indian themed party it is so feminine and perfect for girls/young ladies:) I love those diecut jars. How did you make those?
I am doing a carnival theme for my three girls combined this year (turning 6, 4 and 2). I would love to get your fringe idea so I can “copy” it in red, yellow and white!!!
Thanks, Love your blog!
Welcome back to blogging but it’s nice to hear you got a break! The party was so pretty! I loved it all.
gorgoeous cake!!!
wish my girls were young enough still for a party like that.
all your details were perfect!
Lizzy: WOW! What a fabulous party you created. So darling and creative. Avery is getting more and more beautiful too. When I saw you were not blogging I was a little worried…so glad it was just a break and nothing serious. Glad your back girl!
When does the new line come out? Any teasers for us?
So glad you are back girl! I was worried! Sure do love your blog!
xoxo.
What fun! Welcome back!!!! You were missed
What material is used for those amazing fringe garlands?? And where do you find that material? It looks like tissue paper, but I have never seen tissue paper in that large of a scale…
so adorable!
Seriously Liz??? This beyond amazing!! Hope you’re doing well! xoxo
You probably didn’t realize it, but stereotyping Native Americans in that way could be very offensive.
what a cute party! Where did you get the cake from? Salt lake
