We’ve been burning the candle at both ends lately and here’s a peek at one more thing that we’re working on. My “on the farm” collection is one of my favorites so I thought we would enhance the offering a bit. Right now you can get all the table decor, custom invitation (shown top left), thank you, napkin rings, cupcake picks (shown top right), cupcake wrappers and favor tags in the shoppe.

And soon you’ll be able to set up a farmers market with our new dessert table mats (Farmers Market with pricing, lemonade stand with pricing and olde fashioned stick candy buffet, shown above center), dessert tags (center right showing stick candy flavors), beverage wrappers labeled Moo! Milk and Well Water {loud giggles}, straw slips in six designs (one shown bottom), red and yellow gingham mats and a lovely flag banner.

The photo shoot is scheduled for the week of September 13 and all items will be in the shoppe shortly thereafter. If you’re interested in learning more about these fun items now, e-mail us at customercare@celebrationshoppe.com and we’ll gladly help you get them early!

Oh, and we’re still working furiously to post more about the new Harvest collection today! I warn that it might be very, very late today… but we’re really trying!

When we launched our new “on the farm” birthday party theme, I blogged about pig and sheep cakes and cupcakes, but this one has a red barn and baby chicks! I love how easy the chick cupcakes are. They’re just yellow tinted coconut {yum} with chocolate eyes and a gumdrop beak (rolled and cut in the shape of a triangle).

The barn and other animals are really simple too. All the details are on BettyCrocker.com complete with a video. Enjoy!

Each time we launch a new party theme I develop a new favorite. It’s likely because I spend so much time with it from idea conception to development to decor selection to the photo shoot to blogging about it to launch. Our “on the farm” birthday party theme is no exception.

And this time we took it one step further with a printable collection of craft templates for cupcake wrappers, cupcake picks, napkin rings and goody box tags. Each craft is as easy as print, cut and tape/glue and can be found with all the table decor in our shoppe.

I personally think that the cupcake wrappers and picks will become a quick favorite for those of us who shudder at the thought of baking a themed birthday cake. And even if you don’t mind baking, these simple crafts take all the stress out of it with an adorable outcome.

 Okay, so how cute is the cow (sheep and pig) napkin rings; I mean really. {wink} And last but not least, sweet little “thanks y’all” tag embellishments for the red gable goody boxes.

And here are a few more items to round out the table: beverage bucket (bottles embellished with printable collection napkin rings), tractor cookie cutter and serving platter.
