Something Borrowed Wedding Rental

Not far from the St. John's Bridge you'll find Something Borrowed Vintage Rentals. With a view like that I think I'd be styling parties all day. I recently met the owner Lane` there to see what Something Borrowed Vintage Rentals was all about and what they had to offer. 

St. John's Bridge , Portland, Oregon

A cozy inviting  meeting area awaits you upon entering the warehouse. I love the warm wood wall backdrop . I want this set up in my party space.

Something Borrowed Vintage Rentals has cake stands for miles. Ok, maybe not miles, but Lane` has a lot to choose from. I was in a party planners dream closet. My mind raced with so many party visions. Those metal ones in the back will be perfect for a summer theme I have in mind.

Wood box's and crates make great party props. Perfect for adding height, filler, setting items in and on. I see some I need for that summer theme I was telling you about.

Lane` has something for every party theme or wedding you could think of. She told me people are often overwhelmed when they visit her warehouse. But she quickly puts people at  ease by helping them visualize their theme, feel and look and picks out items to pull it all together.

Vintage scales and cameras, oh my! I was like a kid in a candy store. While some may get overwhelmed by all the inventory I saw party themes for days. The scales would be a great prop to set cupcakes on,for a garden party, or as a place for soda bottles with fun paper straws. For the cameras, I'm thinking Halloween.

Cake Boss Cupcake Review

I'm doing my grocery shopping, heading to the produce department and as I walk through the bakery my eye's spy Cake Boss cupcakes. Those of you who know me know what happened next. These cupcakes just jumped into my cart. Yep. If you follow me on Instagram you'll see that items frequently jump into my cart.

They look good. Big and fluffy looking. But how do they taste?

The cake was moist and had a nice red velvet flavor, the frosting was smooth and creamy and there was a nice ratio of frosting to cake. And Surprise! there's a filling.  These cupcakes were worth the splurge.

Mother's Day Brunch

Mother's Day Brunch

For Mother's Day I had my parents over for a brunch. Recognize some of the party decor ;)

Mimosas are a must for brunch. Add a little sherbet for some fun.


Homemade strawberry scones to go with the tasty mimosas.


Raspberries served in chocolate cups. Raspberries and chocolate go so well together.







You all know that limited edition cake mix's just jump into my cart. When I saw Pillsbury's Tropical Mango cake mix I had to try it. I added strawberries to the cake mix and made cream cheese strawberry frosting.






Chocolate flower cupcake topper.


Chocolate cups make great bowls for orange sherbet.



Mom's deserve to be pampered so along with the brunch I made my mom some Honey Strawberry Sugar Scrub for Mother's Day.


Happy Mother's Day!

Craft Warehouse


I'm SO excited!!! Craft Warehouse is open again. It was open years ago about 15 minutes from me and then sadly it closed.  It's back and now only 1 mile away! I have a feeling the clerks are going to know me by name. It will be like Cheers, when I walk into Craft Warehouse all the employee's will say, TIFFANY. I absolutely love this store. Craft Warehouse has items you can't find anywhere else. Shall we take a look?

You bet it's a PARTY! I was squealing with happiness down every aisle I walked.  I was almost doing the happy dance, seriously. I'm already wanting to incorporate these marquee PARTY letters into a party. 
Beach aisle. Walking down this aisle I started planning another party on the beach. I had such fun with the Go Fly a Kite party. 
 One thing I love about Craft Warehouse is the displays. So full of inspiration and colour. I have just the party in mind for some of the items in this display. 
4th of July inspiration. Each aisle is broken down into occasions which makes shopping very easy. Inspirational projects are found throughout all the aisles with all the products you need to re-create them near by. 
 
EEEeeeeeeee!!! paper mache letters in so many sizes. LARGE to small. So much creativity is going to start happening. Not only are these letters great for parties but they're good for home decor too. 
 Garden and mini items aisle. I see fairy, woodland and garden parties down this aisle. 
Woodland aisle. The closest I've come to a woodland party so far is the Irish Elk   one I did in Montana. This aisle has my brain creating a woodland themed party. 
Scrap booking aisle. So many wonderful choices. These aisles have me wanting to create my own cards again. 
 Summer aisle. You can't help but smile when you come to this aisle.  Look at those colours! 
If you live in the Portland metro area and love to craft, you really need to check out Craft Warehouse in Beaverton.  I'm sure you'll see me there when you go ;)
