april showers bring ella flowers :: rain boot centerpieces

Just another little sneak peek of my daughter's upcoming party... What goes along with rain and umbrellas? Rain boots, of course! I found these unfinished boots at Oriental Trading Company. (Only $16.99 per dozen. Love that!) I hand painted them to match our color scheme and thought you'd like to see the process. I still have one final step yet to do - spray them with high gloss spray paint to give a shine just like the real thing! These will be the centerpiece holders for all the "Ella flowers". Okay, one week to go... gotta get back to the list.

In other news, the fundraiser event I was a part of this past week was fantastic! I had a blast and really loved how my table turned out. The other vendors knocked it out of the park as well. I met so many delightful people and have such a renewed spirit of humanity right now - I'm on cloud nine! I took a few pictures that I'll share soon, but I also have shots coming from two different photographers too. (Yay! I'm sure you'll enjoy looking at those photos a lot more than mine!)
