Deep in Woodland chatter

My little boy turned 4 on late November, we worked together on his party, not long after he turned 3 he told me that he wanted his next party to have owls and squirrels, I suggested some gnome folk to keep the animals happy and a 'Woodland Folk' party was born.

He very carefully selected the guests, he is a shy little guy and only wanted people on 'his' list, so we went about sending inviatiosn to 40 family and friends.

I was originally goign to do it at home, but we were looking at a property for sale and happened upon this old hall on the edge of a forest and I was hooked.

It was so much fun making everything, including sewing the sweet table background by hand.. wont do that again in a hurry! and it was a really hot day so it ended in true Aussie style with all the kids down to there underwear having a water fight....

So much fun!

Happy Birthday Archie ... You have my heart!
