Tuesday Tip - Bumpkin Bears & Friends Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

Before I jump into today's tip, I wanted to give a couple of thank-you shout outs. My airplane party was featured over at Everyday Celebrating, a wonderful place for great party tips and inspiration. A few years ago, her airplane party stayed stuck in my mind and came into play for this party. I almost did her airstrip using Christmas lights, but we were worried about it around the food and the little one pulling them off. Her airplane photo op inspired our pilot's license, mama doesn't have painting skills.Tabletops For Tots featured my Down On The Farm party, and I'm so tickled to have discovered her, although it does me no good because I don't live in her area. She does party rentals for kid-sized tables and chairs! I've always rented smaller tables and chairs for home parties, but they aren't as cute as her products. You would be surprised the amount of space adult sized tables and chairs take up when you have lots of children to entertain. Plus, have you ever seen a 3 year old try to climb up a folding chair?

OK, off we go....you all know my love for finding new inspiration and places to get lost in. Through a party planner's version of 6 Degrees Of Kevin Bacon, I discovered and am thrilled to share with you Catherine Young of Bumpkin Bears & Friends, a British Bear Artist from Belgium. Catherine specializes in producing high quality one-of-a-kind hand crafted artist bears that are designed to be adopted and loved for a lifetime. Oh look at their faces, aren't they absolutely adorable?She also specialized in art and paper goods...check out her post on the lovely woodland baby shower she designed the invites for. And speaking of which.......some lovelies from her Etsy print shop. She is graciously giving one of my readers the chance to win a 6-pack of her Friends For Tea invites, perfect for your next party or baby shower. They are 4x6 cards printed on beautiful thick quality cardstock with pink envelopes and packaged in a cello bag.
