Fiesta Friday – Fall Fiestas

Before I launch into today’s musings, if you live in the Seattle area, head over to my Seattle Mamas post  for a chance to win a family 4-pack of VIP advance screening tickets to Happy Feet 2!

Fall is my favorite time of year, there is no shortage of party inspiration and here are some of my faves!

The colors from this feature at 100 Layer Cake are country pastels and bright apple-colored references which is a pretty combo of vintage and mod…so fall, yet not screaming ‘fall’.

Burlap is hot this seasonl; pair it with lace for fun textural contrasts like this table from my cookie gal, Jenny Cookies (psst…come back for more in next week’s Tuesday Trend.)

How about these pear favors from Martha Stewart Weddings.  They wrapped the fruit in hand-stamped tissue.

Don’t feel trapped by traditional colors…Intertwined shares an amazing board that’s not afraid of silver and lavender.

Head back over to Seattle Mamas where I share more of my favorite parties like this wine tasting party.
