So, click on over and check out the full collection. I think that my first purchase from the line will be this, & aren’t the product photos FABULOUS…it really makes me want to go wrap a gift and then throw a party for someone special! Great job Amy(as usual!).

“I love making gifts for my friends and family, but in buying giftwrap and paper party ware I always thought that there should be an eco-alternative. So I have been working with the Gift Wrap Company to come up with an ecological alternative to gift-giving & paper party ware. We’ve done it! The new lines of GIFTWRAP GREEN, 100% post-consumer recycled gift wraps, bags, and giftcard boxes are out now! You may recognize some of the print designs from past fabric collections (recolored, of course). Alongside the gift wrap & bags, we’ve developed an eco line of paper tableware (plates, napkins, towels) that coordinate so you’re entire party can be fresh and “green.” The plates and napkins are printed with 100% soy ink, plus the plates use a water-soluble coating so that they can be rinsed and recycled too! It’s exciting to be able to offer a green alternative that keeps the fresh look and design we all love.” -Amy Butler

There’s a virtual party going on, and the host is none other than the lovely Ez of Creature Comforts. I just love creative ideas and I had SO much fun creating my virtual outfit, party food, and gifts, and since it is virtual money I splurged a bit on the Fendi dress, & Ez, since we are dealing with virtual money here, use your imagination to think of the amount that the Crate & Barrel Gift card is worth! :). Okay, so here is my little collage. I started out going after a black clutch to keep in line with the black and gold, but…well..I just couldn’t resist this purple clutch! Thank you Ez for the invite…such a glowing party it is..filled with some pretty creative people & I can’t wait to see who all arrives!

Have you ever laid eyes on a cake that was just much too pretty to eat? Based out of Sedona, Arizona, Sedona Cakes are exceptionally designed by Cake Artist Andrea Blaut, and I am quite sure that having one of these at your wedding or shower would have your guests oohing and aahing over it even after your event is over. Cake flavors include “Pomegranate & White Chocolate”, “Tiramisu”, “Raspberry Chambord”, “Chocolate Decadence”, and “Pistachio Key Lime”, and her signature cake is a creamy vanilla cheesecake and flourless dark chocolate cake filled with chocolate ganache, and studded with raspberries…Oh my!
