Alice in Wonderland Tea Party

May 13, 2011 By Rachel Leave a Comment

What's more fun than throwing an Alice in Wonderland inspired tea party? As one of my favorite children's stories, nothing sparks my imagination quite like Lewis Carroll's talking flowers, the cheshire cat's smile, the queen of hearts, and of course the Mad Hatter's tea party. Alice in Wonderland is a wonderful party theme and there is so much you can do to recreate the magic that happened down the rabbit hole. For this fun Merry Unbirthday party I used: • Vintage yellow tea set. • Gerber … [read more...]

May Day Basket

April 22, 2011 By Rachel 4 Comments

Every year I look forward to the month of May. May means that spring is in full bloom and the season of farmer's markets and outdoor art walks begin. Living in Portland, Oregon, I love seeing people out and about, enjoying the first days a sunny weather. You can find people out taking a stroll, working in their gardens or even enjoying a happy hour on a patio of their favorite local restaurant. After a long, cold winter, I am ready to celebrate warmer weather! One tradition that has been mostly … [read more...]

DIY Chinese Lai-See Envelopes

January 24, 2011 By Rachel Leave a Comment

Traditionally, red envelopes or Lai-See are given to children on the first day of the Chinese New Year. The red envelopes almost always contain money, usually varying from a few dollars to a few hundred. Whatever the amount, it is custom to give out quantities in even numbers as odd numbers associated with gifting money are traditionally given during funerals. The number 8 is considered very lucky and $8 is a common amount to find in Lai-See. Sometimes chocolate gold coins are found in the red envelopes … [read more...]
