Kids love teepees (tepees or tipis, if you prefer) and Morgan was inspired to put together an excellent teepee-themed party for her son Henry's fourth birthday. With homemade teepees to play in, felt headbands to wear and beaded necklaces to make, this party was a hit!
Name: Isabella
Color Inspiration: The inspiration for the color palette was Isabella's desire for a bright colorful room and my desire for it to be livable! Together we selected the beautiful paint color which reminded us both of the perfect shade of water.
This one comes to us from founder of Dwellstudio, Christiane Lemieux. She decided to go with a black and white background letting the colors of the meal itself stand out. She's also got a few ideas for the "kids table"...
We've recently shared our love for matryoshka dolls and this paper version is no exception! This nesting doll card can be printed out on your home computer and would make for a fabulous party invite. Details after the jump...

We see so many pretty cupcake liners on food blogs, but only seem to find the (blah) foil and pastel liners at our grocery store. Perhaps you have better local options, but if not we have three online sources to recommend...
We'd like to take a creative liberty this morning on the word entertaining. Although that's the theme for this month, we'd like to share something that was "entertaining" to us, although it has nothing to do with throwing a party...
Besides the standard, "We go around and everyone says something they're thankful for," do you have any special Thanksgiving traditions in your family? Here's one fun idea...
