little men & big men

The old saying goes…”blue and green should never be seen!”  But, at love to celebrate we always add our own little ending and say, “blue and green should never be seen… except with something in between!!” And in the case of our newest window display which we installed today that “something in between” is chocolate brown!!

We used our delightful new “Little Man” invitations and tags from Poppiseed Designs as inspiration and gathered lots of gorgeous blue, green and chocolate brown accessories we have in the store to fill the window.  We also used a collection of partyware products from some of our favourite suppliers such as Sambellina, Contents: Party + Christmas + Home and Specklefarm which  ALWAYS seem to fit into our window displays perfectly!!

Last year for a Father’s Day brunch we hosted at home we cut out cute little paper ties and attached them to our guests’ napkins.  So today we incorporated this little idea in the window by attaching little blue and green ties (which we cut out of the VERY versatile Paper Eskimo bunting flags!!) and pegged them onto brown paper bags (our Sambellina brown craft treat boxes would be perfect too!!).  These would not only make cute lolly bags for your “Little Man Party” but are perfect little take-home gifts or place settings for your Father’s Day celebration.

And with Dad’s special day rapidly approaching (eeek…it is on this Sunday!!) we couldn’t believe that our cute little Father’s Day cupcake picks were THE perfect match!!

At love to celebrate we think blue and green is a great colour combination and definately should be seen…with or without something in between!!

Happy Father’s Day!!!

sneak peak

Here’s a little sneak peak of just a few of the beautiful glass jars we have received from one of our favourite suppliers Contents Giftware.  We can’t wait to set up our next window display using these fabulous containers filled with lots and lots of goodies!!

We’ll be back soon with more styles and some exciting new party accessories to help you create your very own Amy Atlas-inspired dessert table!!

easter bags

You can’t have an Easter egg hunt without a stylish little bag to collect all your chocolate eggs and goodies in now can you?? So we were absolutely thrilled when these gorgeous handmade fabric tote bags were delivered to love to celebrate this week just in time for Easter!!

There are three delightful patterns available – pink & white polka dot, yellow polka dot and green & white polka dot. Each bag comes with a gorgeous co-ordinating felt bunny tag which is perfect as either a name tag or gift tag.

There are two gift sacks in the range as well - a small short one and a tall bottle bag. Each of these come with an attached material tie instead of handles and are available in the three different patterns.  They are perfect for filling with eggs or goodies to give to that special someone at Easter.



baskets, buckets & bunnies

At love to celebrate our Easter stock is hitting the shelves and is now on display in our front window!! This year we have some great containers to display your eggs or to collect them in during your egg hunt.

Some of our favourites include these cute tin buckets which come in a variety of colours including white, yellow, pale pink, hot pink, lime, pale blue, dark blue & red. 

These mini tin buckets are a great size for the little ones. They are perfect for filling with small eggs or lollies and would make a fun gift for friends, family or the teacher!! They have a small wooden handle and are available in white, pale pink, yellow, pale blue & hot pink.

Easter just wouldn’t be the same without baskets so we hope you like these simple natural cane baskets as much as we do!! This classic shaped basket is perfect for egg hunts or for giving as a gift filled with eggs and tied with a bow. Stocks of these are limited!!

 

Due to popular demand our gorgeous grass bunnies are back again this Easter!! We absolutely LOVE these little guys and think they look very smart with a lovely Easter-inspired ribbon tied around their neck!! But make sure you get in quick as they are sure to once again be hopping out the door!!


love at first sight

As soon as we laid eyes on these divine hand-made little milk bottles we knew we just had to have them!! 

At love to celebrate we think they are perfect for serving your loved one their favourite drink whether  it be a strawberry milkshake or champagne cocktail!!  They also work well as a little vase for fresh cut flowers or a vessel to hold stationary items such as pens & pencils.  We LOVE the fact too that each bottle has been hand-stamped so that means no two are identical!!

There is also this fabulous stripey red version which comes in two sizes- small and large.

take a look!!


As our Halloween goodies have been arriving we gathering inspiration and trying to work out exactly what to put on display in our front window.  Last year we had a FABULOUS Halloween cake by Yogi at Sweet Dreams Cakes and lots of jars filled with lollies!!

This year we wanted something a bit different even though there are many, many wonderful images of Halloween themed dessert tables and candy bars travelling around the blogoshpere. We aren’t sure if this window will last the entire month of October but we thought it was a fun place to start!!

While the traditional Halloween colours- black and orange – still play a starring role in our decor and decorations this year we have also decided to add touches of purple and lime green where possible.

Our favourite felt “Trick or Treat” flag bunting which proved extremely popular with our customers last year is back in stock as are lots of other goodies!!  


sneak peak

This is what we saw when we opened up the boxes of our new Halloween products which were delivered today.  We are gearing up for our busiest…yes, you heard it right…our busiest time of year…Halloween!!  We LOVE Halloween and it seems our customers do too.

These fantastic battery operated Jack-O-Lanterns are back this year.  If you missed out last year hurry in as stocks are once again limited.  There are three sizes available.

Stay tuned for more great Halloween products, costume ideas and treats over the coming weeks. And, photos of our shop decorated and stocked for Halloween!!

stationery queens

The August trade fairs in Melbourne are always HECTIC!! There are three different venues across Melbourne to visit. With so many suppliers and distributors showcasing new products in the lead up to the Christmas trading period it can sometimes leave our heads spinning!! 

We were very excited to catch up with the delightful and talented Kate from Sambellina. You already know how much we LOVE Kate’s range and we were SO excited to finally meet her in person!!  New additions to the already popular Sambellina polka dot range include lime green with white polka dots, white with black polka dots and hot pink with white polka dots.  We were also thrilled to see the new striped range which comes in pink & white, blue & white and red & white.  We can’t wait to see the combination of polka dots and stripes on our shelves later this month.

Two other lovely ladies we caught up with were Katy and Jane from Katy Jane Designs.  These talented friends have added some more beautiful vintage-inspired designs to their invitation range.  Our particular favourite is the Carnival design.

Another one of our favourite “stationery queens” Jenny from Just Smitten was also in Melbourne showing off some her new designs.  We LOVE the combination of red and blue which Jenny uses strongly throughout the Just Smitten range.  Jenny’s stand was filled with beautiful Christmas cards and gift tags along with invites, cards and birthday tags too.

the more the meri meri


At love to celebrate we are so excited to have just received our new shipment of Meri Meri paper party products.  You may rememeber it wasn’t that long ago that we were “ooohhhing” and “aaaahhhing” over their divine themed centrepieces as well as their cupcake decorating kits.  Now we have invitations, napkins, plates, garlands and lolly bags to match the ballerina, princess, pirates, dinosaurs and animal parade designs.


One of our favourite additions though has to be the 3D Space Cadets Party Pack.  This delightful themed kit will blow your little astronauts away like rockets when they see the robots and spaceships – in REAL 3D!  The pack includes plates, napkins, a themed garland and 12 very cute sets of 3D glasses – they’ll bring the robots and rockets to life!!  You can continue the theme with party bags, a themed cupcake kit and the amazing talking spaceship centrepiece.

The popular Tweet, Tweet, Fairy Wishes and Ready, Set Go Cupcake Kits are now back in stock and have been joined by new designs such as Eat More Cake!! and Groovy Party.


spots and stripes

Well the talented team at Paper Eskimo just keep adding more great products to their range.  We have just received our latest shipment of Paper Eskimo cupcake baking cups and we are so excited!!

There are two brand new additions: black & white stripes AND white with black polka dots. You know how we LOVE polka dots!!  We have already teamed them both up with our current World Cup window and they look fantastic.  The black & white striped ones remind us of the shirts the referees use to wear before they adopted those awful fluro ones!!

The colours of the lastest batch of Paper Eskimo cupcake baking cups are slightly more vibrant than previous batches but they still co-ordinate perfectly with Paper Eskimo’s extensive range of invitations, lolly bags and party accessories. There has also been a slight change made to the blue polka dot baking cups – previously they were pale blue with dark blue spots but now they are pale blue with white spots. Very sweet!!

Stayed tuned for more exciting additions to the Paper Eskimo range.  Next month the team is set to release their new plate, cup and napkin designs!!  We can’t wait to see them!!
