Pretty Little Birthday Celebration

February 4 2015 By melbournemamma 2 Comments

We recently celebrated my daughter’s 7th birthday.

 

She wanted to do something “fun” and “creative” for her birthday, so we decided on a jewellery making party.

 

Originally I contemplated (for a nano second) running the party myself, but let’s face it – I have NO idea of what to do, so I decided it was best to look for someone who did.

 

A quick online search led me to Pretty Little Things Parties (thank you Google 🙂 )

 

Pretty Little Things offer mobile parties in Melbourne and Sydney. All parties include invitations, high quality glass and crystal beads to design 2-3 pieces of jewellery and a jewel bag for guests to take their creations home in.

 

Our host Prue, arrived and got everything setup just before the girls arrived. Everything looked so gorgeous. I was beginning to wish this was my party.

First the girls got to make a necklace. There were SO many colours, shapes and size to choose from.

It was so great to see all the different designs and colour combinations they came up with.

Next up, the girls made bracelets. Some of the girls made one to match their necklace and others went for something totally different.

 

Lastly they made some earrings. All of the girls had their ears pierced, except for one but she was thrilled to make some clip on earrings (and is now pestering her mother to get her ears pierced – sorry Suz).

 

Here are a couple of the finished pieces. All the girls loved that they go to take their jewellery home.

Prue was so professional (& patient) with all of the girls and had us mums in awe.

 

All the girls had SO MUCH FUN creating their own unique pieces and they are still talking about how much they enjoyed the party.

 

Pretty Little Things also run parties for adults and you can also purchase DIY jewellery making kits to use at home.

 

For more information or to book your own party, contact Prue via email or visit www.prettylittleparties.com.au.

 

Of course, no birthday is complete without a yummy cake and this giant cupcake from The Cupcake Queens was the perfect way to end a wonderful afternoon.

Miss 7 is already counting down the days to her next birthday – I wonder what she’ll think of next.

 

What theme are you having for your little one’s next birthday celebration?

    This is such a great idea! It’s almost one my little’s 6th birthday here in Melbourne so I’ll definitely have to look into this for her. I love the special little holders to plan out their necklaces! So lovely!

11 days down, Influenza A still lingering… but com 11 days down, Influenza A still lingering… but comfort food is doing its thing 😊

Crispy tofu bánh mì + a raspberry cordial = the small joys getting me through recovery.

Not fancy. Just comforting. And honestly, exactly what I needed 🥖❤️

Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConag Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and… Wow!!!
What. A. Ride. 📚

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. And the twists? I did not see them coming.

Charlotte McConaghy proves once again why Australian authors are absolutely unmatched when it comes to vivid storytelling and emotional punch 🇦🇺📚

It’s beautifully written, deeply moving, and completely unputdownable.
Highly, highly recommend! 

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Have you read it yet? Let’s chat 👇

“Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground.

Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can’t stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place.

Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets.”
