Have you heard? The chair garlands in the shop aren’t just for decorating chairs!
When it comes to using these petite garlands, there are so many options that chairs are only the the start! This is a continuing series {see more posts here} where I’ll share some of my ideas with you {and, if you’d like to share some of yours, I’ll post them as well!}
For the Summer holidays – Memorial Day, Ian’s birthday, Flag Day, the 4th of July, etc. – I am decorating with lots of red, white and blue. {those balloon in the reflection? they’re left over from Ian’s party :)}
This vintage mirror lightens a corner in our dining area downstairs, and as I was decorating for our little guy’s birthday I decided to see if one of the Red, White and Blue Chair Banners would fit across it to add an additional pop of color – and look at that, it fit perfectly!
How about you? Have you tried using one of these sweet, short lengths of garland in an unexpected spot? Share your ideas in the comments!

oh my, our little buddy is three! I know it’s a bit cliche, but when I look at him I wonder, “how is it even possible?! Where did these few years fly to?” He’s such a sweet – and yet rambunctious – darling!
gah! his eyes slay me – full of the joy, enthusiasm and tenderness that are his trademarks, they, combined with his long lashes, will make your heart melt <3
Ian requested a car themed party, and I did my best to pull it off. Only a few of my ideas actually happened, but, as you can tell from his expression, he was thrilled!!! I’ll be posting more about the party in the next few days :)
Happy Monday, Lovelies!

this just in … a new garland!
I’ve just added our newest garland to the shop! {you might have seen a sneak peek of it in my Instagram feed or this post}
Isn’t it lovely? Each of the stars is almost three times larger than the stars in our smaller patriotic garland, and makes an even bigger visual impact – because sometimes you just need a big”pop” of color!
Also, because today is Flag Day here in the US, and because tomorrow is my birthday, and because I can’t actually invite all of you lovelies to my party {am I even having one? not sure yet … Honey? am i? hint, hint!} I have a coupon for you to use in the shop this weekend :)
You can use the code “happy happy” for 10% off of any order! The code expires at midnight on June 16th {which is also Father’s Day – my, this weekend is packed!}.

In other online news … our Atlas Cupcake Toppers have made it onto the Country Living website!
Last week I was contacted by one of the editors of Country Living.
She was checking to see if I would mind submitting some photos and products to be considered for one of their web features – after a split second of thought I responded with “sure!” {of course!}
We emailed back and forth a bit, and this week the feature on hand-made wedding cake toppers went live {yay!}. Each one of the cake toppers featured is sweet and lovely in it’s own way – I’d love to be able to use them all! I’m so thrilled and grateful to be included – God is so good and surprises me with the ways that He is growing our business on our behalf. :D

Each time a customer leaves a comment saying how much they love their purchase, it makes my day. I especially love it when they tell their friends and send me photos of how they have used the things that they have bought! Last month I shared some party photos, and this month I have a follow up one :)
Amber shared her little guy’s incredibly darling first birthday with us last month, and a few weeks later she sent me another photo to share – this time a close up of her marshmallow pop display!
Amber used the Red, White and Blue Star toppers to add the finishing touch to her super cute idea, as she says: “I put some florist foam in the boxes and stuck the cupcake toppers on the foam.” Great job, Amber! And thank you again for sharing! The star toppers were the perfect finish to your display :)
Do you have photos that you’d like to share? If so, you can either email them to me at elizabeth@pltmarket.com or tag them with #thepathlesstraveledmarket on Instagram – we’d all love to see your ideas!
{by the way, did I mention that I often send “thank you” coupons to the lovelies who let me share their photos with you? Yep, I do :)}
Happy Friday!

have you seen our new Butterflies? We have a bunch of new cupcake toppers! The Brights {above}
and the Pastels – aren’t they sweet?! I have a bunch of other ideas for these and hardly know where to start – what would you like to see next? Maybe some garlands?

Each time a customer leaves a comment saying how much they love their purchase, it makes my day. I especially love it when they tell their friends and send me photos of how they have used the things that they have bought, and recently you lovelies have sent some super darling ones!
Here are a few of the most recent photos:
the red heart cupcake toppers in a fun filled owl and heart birthday – so cute!
aren’t the owls and hearts just darling together? 
It’s so simple to add a festive and patriotic touch to your desserts with the Red, White and Blue Star set – and even more striking with a miniature flag to top them off!
The red heart toppers again, this time for a little girl’s first birthday – love! The red is really striking against the colors of aqua, teal and yellow :)
The Red Heart Garland sweetening a display of photos from the baby girl’s first year – I love this idea!
the Star cupcake toppers again, this time adding a crisp and masculine touch to a little guy’s first birthday – can you see the little number “one” on the cake? I love how creative you all are!
She even used some of the star chair garlands to drape in front of {and in!} the super darling Birthday Boy vignette. Love this!
Do you have photos that you’d like to share? If so, you can either email them to me at elizabeth@pltmarket.com or tag them with #thepathlesstraveledmarket on Instagram – we’d all love to see your ideas!
