The Striped Dinner Party

17 Sunday Mar 2013

Posted by laurenjol in Random

≈ Leave a comment

I love love love stripes and I love all things Italian. I thought I’d mix my two favorites for my favorite man’s birthday dinner.  He (my husband) told me long ago that he HATES surprise parties, so that is what gave me the idea to throw him one : ).

One of the many things I love and miss about Italy is friends having dinner parties. The mouth watering food, smooth wine and great conversation always made for an eventful night.

My inspiration was black and white stripes.

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Image

I moved all the furniture out of our pool house, rented a long table and bamboo looking chairs.

I bought candles, Panna water, oranges (I was tired of lemons ) and long Italian bread sticks for table decor

I ventured off to Ikea for candles and found that they sell fabric by the yard for 8$.. I found this adorable black and white striped fabric and began cutting.

Image

I came home and started cooking and decorating…

Here is the EVOLUTION of the table

The moment he walked in…. ImageImageOh… and he was very happy as well as  shocked that I pulled off a surprise party ..he coudn’t believe all the lies I told him to pull it off. hahhahahahahaha

Baby Journal Month by Month / Year Book

Growing up I would look over and over at my baby book and wondered why all the pages were blank. There were a few photos (yellow tinted) and a few lines scribbled about first words and a few milestones conquered. Maybe I was too much work that my mother couldn’t sit down to pen a few pages or did I rip the photos out as a child.

Well, I wanted to make up for the lack of photos and documentation of my early years so I put together a “Year Book” for my 12 month old daughter.

 I hope my daughter get’s a kick out of her book, here is a glimpse.

The book was designed into a coffee table book by
