Friday Finds - Going Green

Green is one of favorite colors at the Cupcake Wrapper HQ.
In fact when we choose which colors will make it into the range we always make sure all of our favorites are covered.
We are excited about 2 new colors for the new year - but it's a secret for now!

When we think of green, we think of:
The green the garden turns after a huge downpour (reminder Saturday night!)
A fresh Christmas tree adorned with gorgeous decorations
Green Allens snakes (we like red ones too)
Avocados, rocket, sugar snap peas and french beans
Getting slimed at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards (our girls wish!)
Kermit

We think our green is just the right shade.
Goldilocks would be proud of us as it is
not too dark, not too light, it is just right.

While it looks great for Christmas, we also love it any time of the year.
Especially when styled with some of our op shop treasures.

Hip Hip Hooray!

On the weekend my hubby and I celebrated one of 'those' milestone birthdays.
As we both actually had our birthdays eariler in the thick of winter we thought we would delay the celebrations until we could 'guarantee' a warm balmy night.
Well let me just say if you want to break a drought,
let me organise a party for you. 
We got no less than 55mls of rain over 24 hours
and it all started at 8pm on Saturday night.

The Cupcake Wrapper HQ was transformed into a Martini Lounge for the evening, complete with cocktail slushee machines, and of course two very weather proof tarps to cover both outdoor decks.

It was a fantastic night and everyone had a ball!
The lolly table was a huge hit, the cupcakes looked fab and we did the same guest favor as we had at our wedding - we gave a CD to our friends of the music from the night - The Moule Manor Martini Mix!






After the deluge...
