Flowery party favours

When you're four, like Lizzy, you seem to spend a lot of time on the party circuit.

Now - I don't want to seem like a party wowser, but sometimes there are so many parties and so many treat bags that they just don't seem like treats anymore.  know what I mean?

We've just had a magic garden party for Lizzy's birthday (it really was a magic garden as it poured with rain and we had to magic up n indoor a garden for twenty four year olds... argh!) and decided to try something a little different this year for take home favours.

We found gorgeous little tin buckets at the local party store and filled them with colourful springy annuals - marigolds and pansies.

On the morning of the party we 'planted' some lollipops and... voila - we were done!

These were seriously the easiest party favours to make ever. There was no fiddly cellophane wrapping and no ribbon tying at two in the morning.

And best of all?  Lizzy and her friends thought they were great!

So it's been a little quiet around here - life has been rolling along, but unfortunately, the blog hasn't!

We've been celebrating birthdays...

    Maryanne and Caroline are sisters who live in Sydney, Australia. We come from a long line of crafting women, who have all had the desire to create. We hope to continue this family tradition,  spark this passion in our children and share it with friends. We run  a sewing school where our main focus is to help our students discover the joy of creating beautiful but simple things and the joy that comes from being part of a crafting community.
