A few details from Spencer’s vintage-themed 1st birthday party…Maribeth continually amazes me with her creativity and attention to detail. The cupcake toppers were made with scans from vintage 1st birthday cards (as well as the banner on the front door, the invitation, and a t-shirt for the birthday girl). The period-correct candy was all served in apothocary jars, and when she couldn’t find noisemakers to fit the theme…she made her own, the hats too…seriously. I’ve tried to convince her that she should start a business planning children’s parties, but she wants to focus all of her energy and ideas on our own kids…I love that.
