Hello everyone! Yesterday was my 22nd birthday and it was simply lovely. I had a vintage themed party with tons of delicious food. In fact, I ate way too much food at my party. :p Also, I want to thank my readers that gave me birthday wishes yesterday via email, twitter, Facebook, etc....
Onto the pictures of my party! Now, I didn't plan my party at all, mostly because it didn't seem like my birthday was coming up, so everything you'll see was spur-of-the-moment. I think it came together rather well in the end.
I used a mix of modern & vintage dishes.
Decorated the table with vintage magazines.
I recycled my tissue paper pom-poms from last year's birthday party.
For dinner we had: barbecued ribs, salmon, red mashed potatoes, peas, and to drink we had lemonade.
For tablecloths I used my three vintage floral ones, and a modern lace one that is my mom's.
Besides cupcakes, I also had a two layer confetti cake.
In an old jar I placed some neon straws in the colors: pink & peach. For ice-cream we neapolitan.
Cake & Ice-cream plate.

I didn't know what I was going to make for my birthday outfit until last Tuesday, when the Longs gave me this piece of the leopard elastic to try out. Then on our shopping trip together I found this adorable pink top from H&M and my mind starting thinking, "ooh...this top would look adorable with the leopard elastic & I have some gray voile that would be perfect to be made into a maxi skirt!" and that is how my birthday outfit was decided upon.
