Chair Garland Decor Ideas {a continuing series}

Chair Garland Decor Ideas {a continuing series}

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!}

DSC_0076 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!

Extra Large Red, White and Blue Star Garland from the Path Less TraveledI’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}

Extra Large Red, White and Blue Star Garland from the Path Less TraveledIsn’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!}.

customer love – parties edition!

customer love – parties edition!

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!

Don’t forget -there are just a few hours left to save 20% using the exclusive coupon. It expires at midnight tonight! I hope you are all having a truly lovely weekend,

XO

Easter Bunny Bag from the Path Less Traveled
Friday again?

Friday again?

How can it be Friday again already?

And Easter is almost here! Having it early this year means that’s it’s kind of catching me off guard {making the girls matching Easter dresses? um, might not happen …}. Are you finding the same thing true for you?

Each pick is made using rabbits cut from 5 different colors of cardstock: pink, yellow, light blue, light green and purple. Each is double sided so there isn't front or back - they look cute from every angle! Each little bunny is about 1/2" tall. The set includes: 3 yellow 3 pink 2 green 2 blue 2 purple

 Easter Rabbit cupcake toppers

Speaking of catching me off guard, I just realized that I haven’t done a very good job of moving most of my Easter items over from my Etsy shop to this site – whoops! So if you’re looking for the super cute things that I’ve been making {and trust me, there are some REALLY cute new things in my shop!} you’ll need to look there this year. Oh well ….

Anyway, here’s some of the cuteness:

and those are only a few! I’m hoping to get them all posted here for you, too, but we’ll see how that goes. :) I’ll let you know!

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you saw that I mentioned shipping deadlines for Easter delivery: the deadline for guaranteed delivery with standard shipping is Monday, March 25 and Priority shipping is Wednesday, March 28. If you need rush shipping, let me know and I’d be happy to help!

Hope you all have a lovely, lovely weekend {we are expecting snow …} and I’ll be back soon :)

St. Patrick's Day from the Path Less Traveled

what do you get when you combine some green, some gold and a few cupcakes? A little St. Patrick’s Day party!

So, I’m not Irish. And we didn’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s Day growing up. But I do love a good party {and any excuse to have a cupcake} and I really enjoy the story of St. Patrick {my kids are most familiar with the Veggie Tales version}, so here’s one that I styled to celebrate!

You can find everything that I used {except for the chocolate coins and napkins – those are from Target :)} in the shop: Shamrock garland, chair garlands, party bags, shamrock cupcake toppers and book cupcake toppers

So, are you Irish? How do you celebrate? I’d love to hear!
