Obsessed with "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

One of my most favorite movies.... I don't know if it's the colors, the era, the clothes, the music or Audrey Hepburn's iconic character "Hollie" but I could watch "Breakfast At Tiffany's" any time.

In honor of this classic movie, I'm starting to plan for an annual girls party at my home. I've started to plan the menu and tinker around with decorations. Here are some "Whimsy Wendy" ideas with which I've started:

I won't keep my rustic branch for the party but will have puffs in teal, white and black hanging from some hanging chandeliers to add to a "glammed" up look.

I really love the cake puffs... made in themed colors, they look darling on simple yellow cupcakes with white frosting and baking pearls.

 

Creative Recycled Lighting.... A Plastic Chandelier

As seen in my favorite holiday haunt, the Bachman's Idea House in Minneapolis, I absolutely loved this lighting treatment in the 'kids' room.

1. First a wire form is fitted over the low-watt light bulb. This form is a white coated metal in a circular shape. (I think some colorful blue tissue paper is tucked in around the form for color)
2. Next plastic beverage bottles are cut in a spiral and colored.
3. Hung from the wire form, the recycled plastic spirals make a really unique and effective lighting treatment!

You'd think it's a blown-glass chandelier by Chihuly.



What a great way for kids to lend a hand in decorating their rooms!

Ballerina Bags

One of my favorite past times is using up my excess fabric and tulle scraps I've got laying around. Sitting down to tackle some of my surplus, I designed this ballerina bag/ tote with three beautiful layers of gathered tulle.

It's a perfect size for ballet shoes, tights and dance class accoutrement.

I'm thrilled with the design... pretty enough to wear!

It's beginning to look a lot like....

Dare I say it? .... Christmas?
It's already started and I'm as guilty as Target. It started with a x-mas banner I added to my Etsy store last week, but as all retailers do, I got very excited about all of my new products! I've listed some new photos below to show off some of the fun new things I'm offering for a limited time.

Felt and fabric Christmas Tree Table Toppers

Buttons and felt accents really pop!

They're perfect on top of a dresser, TV or kitchen counter.

 

Tulle Christmas Tree

They are putsy to make, but they are so worth it!

Now working on a small grove to show off how gorgeous they are clustered.

 

Lilacs and Limes

One of my new favorite, yummy color combinations.... Lilac and Lime.

This fairy set, just in time for Halloween, comes with a tutu, headband, wand and pair of wings.

 

Costume set for your purple fairy!

Handmade organza lime green flowers.

The wand comes with its own magic... known to scare away any ghosts or goblins.

I Love Me Some Halloween...

Whimsy Wendy's newest creation... The Pink Pirate

Arrrrgh! Cutest Pirate I ever saw.

You can never go wrong with pink and black.
