A brand new sponsor and GIVEAWAY!

 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!Giveaway Closed!!!!!!!!!!

Are you ready for some whimsy?


Some incredible taste and style?
Vicky, from The City Cradle, is a wife and a mom to twins……with a sweet sense for all things beautiful.  Vicky plans and designs the most incredible parties that can be used for large celebrations, or for the sweetest of gatherings with friends.  Once you begin browsing her site, you will instantly be inspired by what you see.  
Take this Pinwheels and Pearls party for example…
Vicky created the most magical backyard party for one sweet little girl.  The details are amazing and every corner you turn, there are more and more ideas waiting to inspire you.
I just got a kick out of these Starburst candy pinwheels.  She rolled some Starburst out flat and folded each one like a pinwheel and attached them to skewers.  Darling detail.
**For a full review of the Pinwheels and Pearls party, go here. (Scroll down until you see the pinwheel party.)  There are links to many of her party element tutorials and many more pictures to view.
And I couldn’t help but share this Sly Little Fox party too.  Vicky shares a complete view of a little boy baby shower here.
(Just scroll down a bit to see all of the links for this party design.)
Whimsy can be incorporated for the sweet little boys in our life too.  
Just look at this darling set up.
There were details in every corner.  These mozzarella and tomato toad stools sat on top of the salad greens.  Darling.
And the party food was soup themed.  These bread spoons were the perfect match.
Can you even help yourself from sitting at your computer with your eyes wide as can be?  I think what excites me most about Vicky’s ideas, is that she breaks them down and shows us how to create affordable parties and shows us that each step is very do-able.  I am definitely not a party planner but can hardly wait to plan something.  I just love all the details.
And Vicky has a goal to plan 30 parties before she turns 30 next year.  So follow along here, to watch the 30×30 challenge take place.
And a complete sampling of all of her events here.
Vicky also has a shop here, where she offers many of her design elements for you to purchase.  Perfect for those of you who are short on time to make things yourself.  The shop is on a mini vacation but will re-open in July.
But also don’t forget to visit her blog regularly for party updates, giveaways, and sweet photos/dialogue about her own life.  Such a lovely person.
Vicky also recently explained her love for picnics.  She is inspired by them and thoroughly enjoys these warm summer months.  So she is hosting Picnic Month over on her blog here.  
To participate, you must enter some photos of a picnic of your very own, to share with everyone else what your picnics are all about.  You don’t have to have a blog to participate, you just need to submit a photo.  (Full details found here.)
But there will be 3 different winners and some of the prizes include a $50 gift card to Pottery Barn, a gorgeous picnic print, some picnic hair pins, a picnic necklace, some gift cards, and more….
Wow.
And on top of all that, Vicky is also offering a giveaway right here at Make It and Love It.  
She is offering a set of her spring in bloom vases 
(Which are normally for sale in her shop.  So make sure to check back in July, when the shop re-opens.) 

Can’t you see these used in any room of your house?  Or your next party?  So bright, so cheery, so perfect for spring/summer time.
