GOOD LOOKS - Fiesta Sweet Food

churros + chocolate

No Mexican meal is complete without churros and spicy hot chocolate. For a great serving suggestion, serve the chocolate drink in shot glasses and the churros in our Fiesta Flora treat boxes and use the mini canape plates alongside. Yum! Now I am hungry...

GOOD LOOKS - Pom Pom Toppers

I am not a soup person. But after tasting one of these shots of cold soup I may be converted. But that may be just because of Taryne's serving suggestion of placing the soup in shot glasses with our Fiesta Fun Pom Pom Skewers.

GOODIES - My Hostess Gift

thanks a mil!

Last week, we had a Girls Night In at my friend Claire's house. It was such good fun, we ordered in Thai food and she made the cocktails and fresh fruit salad with dessert. I was going to take flowers or wine as a little hostess gift, but then I realised I have a whole little shop of cool gifts that make great hostess gifts. I had to laugh though - only when Claire opened the little heart pouch did I realise that the manicure set was actually neon orange inside. Awesome!

GOODIES - Pretty Mini Garlands

sweet strings

Number two on my party list is always "overhead" decorations. Whether it is bunting, balloons or garlands I always like to hang something up. Especially, as many of these decorations can be used again and again, and I tend to leave them up a little bit longer to decorate my home! And these little garlands are just perfect for a bit of spring time decorating!
