HAPPY {FREE} FRIDAY!

Happy {Free} Friday, Y'all!

Today, we are debuting our {BRAND NEW} monogram
bracelet pattern and giving YOU a chance to WIN one for
{FREE}! This pattern was inspired by my sweet friend,
Courtney Whitmore, and her newest website, CourtneyWhitmore.com. 
Courtney is an amazing girl and I truly consider her my mentor.
She is such an inspiration to small business owners.  We thought
that this was the appropriate time to surprise Courtney, {and all of you},
with our newest design in honor of her latest book,
 "Candy Making For Kids", which launched this week!

HAPPY {FREE} PRINTABLE FRIDAY!

Happy {FREE} Printable Friday!

Are you planning a summer cookout anytime soon? How cute would it be to

use these preppy "Let's Eat Ya'll" tags at your place settings & these "Have A

Little Sip" flags for your drink straws? Navy & white are so classic and look

great with any bright color of your choosing! I decided to pair them with yellow &

white preppy striped favor bags that I used as utensil holders and added a coordinating

navy napkin. I used a hole punch to punch holes in the top of the bags and tied the

tags on with sisal. You can purchase striped paper bags HERE. I also chose yellow

and white paper straws for the drink tags that I got from the ever fabulous,

Polka Dot Market. I was so happy with how these turned out and they add the

perfect preppy, southern girl flare to any summer gathering! Hope You Enjoy Ya'll!

I would LOVE to see pics of how you use your printables.

IF YOUR HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT... EAT ICE CREAM!

Hey ya'll! I would like to introduce you to our guest blogger today!
Heather is the owner of "Pretty Southern" and is a graphic designer that does some
 design work for Preppy & Pink! Her little girl, Whitley Pearl, just celebrated her 2nd
birthday with an Ice Cream Theme party that was TDF {to die for}. In true
Preppy & Pink style, no detail was over looked! Enjoy Heather's recap of
the big day below...

Hey guys! It is Heather! I just wanted to share a 'sneak peak' at my little girl,
Whitley Pearl's second birthday party! It was a small family affair, but we still
wanted it to be super sweet and special! I wasn't sure what I was going to do for a
long time, but I totally loved this ice-cream truck idea! it would have been way
cute to do in the summer, I really would have hired an ice-cream truck to come
park for a few hours, lol! But, it was in February, and that just wasn't really ideal! 

So, we totally made it really fun and bright! First off, I based all of the party
colors off of her outfit {By Mud-Pie} & we went from there.  I wanted it to feel
really young and playful. My next step was to design the invitation from scratch.
...annnnd...
Whitley's Ice Cream Shack was born!
You can purchase your own Ice Cream Party invites HERE

We had ice-cream in mason jars, root-beer and cream-soda on hand for 'floats'
and of course, polka-dot paper straws {Shop Sweet Lulu}! SweeTreats by Keri
made my idea of ice-cream sundae cupcakes come alive! They were super sweet!
We topped them with real cherries, and sweet pearl sprinkles...just perfect for
little Whitley Pearl! My mom found the ice-cream pinatas...and she was sweet
enough to hand-stitch this beautiful table-cloth for me!
{...xoxo...she's the best!}

My favorite idea for the party was hand-dipping the waffle bowls in white
chocolate and then topping them with the pearl sprinkles.  We then used them to
hold all of our ice-cream toppings...sprinkles, chocolate chips, and marshmallows!
The sweetest touch was her brother hand-cut her cup-cake topper so he was
super proud of his work!

Hope you enjoyed your sneak peak of Whitley Pearl's Ice-Cream Shack!
xoxo...heather
