Garden Party Inspiration

My Birthday may not be until July 21st, but the party invites are already out! I love planning and birthday's, so when I combine the two I get freakishly excited. I've decided on a garden party and depending on whether I get round to purchasing a BBQ, one of those two! I imagine fairy lights, fabric bunting, jarred tea lights, picnic rugs and possibly a panda piƱata. 

To cut down on costs I really want to do some DIY, arty farty stuff. I'm going to make lace jarred tea lights using old jam jars and possibly some homemade bunting.

The other day I found the most amazing jar in Aldi, an 8 litre glass jar that dispenses cocktails. For under £10 I was over the moon! Let's face it, a couple of cocktail pitchers just ain't gonna cut it for a 21st Birthday!

So where does one go for inspiration? Pinterest of course...








Please let me know in the comments if you have any of your own DIY ideas...

Love, Laura x

The Wednesday Post

I've missed my little blog. 

talknineteenofthedozen is back...

With a well edited instagram photo of Zara walking away from the beach.

I feel pretty impressed with my editing skills with this photo, I managed to make an average day in East Yorkshire look awesomely sunny. Who knew awesomely was a word? I half expected it to be underlined with a squiggly red line. Who knew?! I'm kind of disappointed now, I love creating new words!

 Yeah, sometimes I just type absolute crap.

Please leave your blog address' in the comments, I love to read them in my spare time!

I was just thinking what's Bye in Cuban? As in 4 weeks time, that's where I'm gonna be... *excitement* but in Cuba they speak Spanish... So, adios!
