one of my nearest and dearest friends is having a sweet little baby and her and her husband asked if we could host her gender reveal at our humble abode… boy did I absolutely jump on that!!! I absolutely love celebrating life, especially new little lives being brought into he world by some pretty awesome humans! not only that, but i love party planning and all of the little details that come along with it!
so the theme of the party is “what will it bee” with lots of pale yellows, grays, burlap, vintage bees, and everything totally fabulous and DIY. so we started on pinterest to get some ideas… i also like to go to the downtown fabric district, particularly into Michael Levines to get inspired. they have such gorgeous fabrics, you can literally find anything you need from dozens of different mustache prints, to disney, to vintage tea pots… literally it is fabric heaven. they also have an outlet store across the street where they sell left over pieces for 2.50 a pound. we scored some awesome deals and walked away with enough fabric to make our decorative flags.
after michael levine’s we walked around and scored some burlap and muslin for 2.50 a yard! we’re going to use that for our table cloths.
i was getting antsy and wanted to buy something for myself so that i could start a new sewing project so i bought some faux fur to make a vest. so random, but the fur looked so soft. we’ll see how that goes!
being on a time crunch, we didn’t get to walk around and see much else, but boy could you spend hours and hours down there! if you’re ever feeling like you need some inspiration or you want to get your creative wheels turning. hopefully these pictures can inspire you too!
