I started a Tumblr site just for party ideas. Look at me! I’m so organized. I should have my own TV show.

Pull down maps as window shades are my fave

// 26 Comments

Have you ever seen that 30 Rock where Liz thinks her neighbor is a terrorist but really he’s just trying out for The Amazing Race? This made me think of it. “And get this, he has maps on his walls. MAPS!”

A ceiling of paper streamers is my fave

I’m dying over these paper streamers hung for the free wedding.

Oh, and there were flower garlands too. And confetti. And polaroids. They should of just called it The Party Dedicated to Melanie’s Faves. It’s catchy.





The shirt I would wear while riding in my bike gang is my fave

My friend sent me a link to this t-shirt saying she knew I would like it. Well yes, yes I do.





Pretty dessert tables are my fave

Hello Naomi 

100 Layer Cake 

Martha Stewart 

Amy Atlas 

Today I’m feeling inspired by tables piled high with desserts. I think it would be fun to have a pretty dessert party and instead of filling the glass drink dispenser with punch, filling it with milk. One requirement, the desserts don’t just have to look pretty they have to taste good too. Nothing is more disappointing then a really pretty little chocolate looking goody and it ends up being rum raisin flavor.

Our apartment walls have as many holes as a Connect Four board, so maybe I’ll hold off on hanging a shelf. I do love this look though.
