Frosty Feathered Fantasy Bridal Shower

As you can guess...my helpers couldn't figure out what I was doing at first.
"Feather Boas?"
"Twinkle Lights?"
"Feather Dusters??"
"White color scheme?"
My vision was fairy-like.

Icy and soft.


LadyBug had picked up some 'clearance' Christmas twinkle lights.
They came with several programs;


Quick Glittery Twinkle
Psychotic Spastic Strobe
(my favorite!)
and the one we settled on;

Softly Rolling Stars.

It was SO beautiful!


Everyone stopped short at the doorway to look.
We added twice as many vases as this.
The feather dusters came out of the packaging stiff and pokey.
We had to crush and break the stems so that they would droop more.


Mrs Cupcake and I spent the evening before making itty bitty hats for dessert.
The recipe was simple; turn a shaved flat cupcake upside down on a sugar cookie.
Pour microwaved canned frosting over top.

One of the more successful attempts.
I'd seen the idea on the web.
It originally was for Easter Bonnet type hats using pastel colored frosting, jelly beans, and rolling out Starbursts candy for ribbon.

In typical family fashion, I chose to try a new, untried,(and un-proven) idea at a special event.



We got so punchy by the end of the evening...
This poor hat got it all!

And in typical kedgy fashion, I complanied that they weren't perfect.

We did have fun putting it all together...even though I've been banished out of the kitchen lately. Jailgy's Bible name game was a real icebreaker...Jecky Bones' Orange Punch was to remind Hot Rod Hannah of the groves she was leaving behind and the white frou-frou was to suggest winter and the cold back east. For someone who HAS everything, we did manage to find things she really needed. Ladies from Shadow Hills pitched in with Chicken Salad and to help defray costs.

What's going on with your blog or should I say what's going on with you? Every one of your last few posts has a white and/or blue theme! It must be a winter thing. I really do like the combination of white and ice blue.
