Adanya's Halloween-Birthday Party! Part Three!

Yo-la! Happy Belated Halloween! 

We meant to post this Wednesday, but life just got so busy it didn't happen. Le sigh. Did everyone gets lots of candy? We got the bag of candy we bought ourselves, haha. ;-)

So we are returning to Adanya's party today, and tomorrow we'll do the first post on the MyAG Purple Party holiday dress. Then we'll go back to the party and so on, back and forth. We have a lot to show you from the party, so it will appear throughout November (maybe into December if we are slow)-- lots of guests, outfits, and gifts.

Lottie is the first guest to arrive at Adanya's Halloween-Birthday Party. 

Lottie: "Happy Birthday Adanya! I'm so glad you invited me to the party. I'm new in town, so it will be nice to meet some more people!"

Adanya: "No problem -- Thank you for coming!"

Lottie: "Here is your gift. I asked your Mom what you would want..."

Adanya: "Ooo, thank you! We'll put it here and open it when everyone gets here."

Lottie: "Cool beans."

Lottie is wearing a peplum top from Royal Doll Boutique, based on a slightly modified version of the Liberty Jane pattern from the Penny Lane outfit. http://www.libertyjanepatterns.com/2012/08/peplum-top-pattern-for-dolls.html

Her pants are from the MyAG line, they are the ones that comes with the Weekend Fun Outfit. Her shoes are Lanie's from AG, and her purse we bought at that local shop where we found all sorts of goodies.

Adanya: "I am really curious what my Mom told you to get..."

Lottie: "Something really cool! But I guess you'll have to wait to know until the other girls get here. Who else is coming?"

Adanya: "Well, Beatrice just called and said she is on her way..."

Lottie: "I think I heard a car door!"

Adanya: "I wonder if it is Beatrice???"

Lottie: "Is that cake I see over there?"

Thanks for visiting us today!!!

Adanya's Halloween-Birthday Party! Part Two!

BOO TO YOU!

As we said in Part One, Adanya was born on Halloween -- so every year we try to have a party for her that has a Halloween theme. This year we finally photographed the festivities for you!

Part One:

http://thedollwardrobe.blogspot.com/2012/10/adanyas-halloween-birthday-party-part.html

She has invited 5 of her friends to the party and she is waiting for them to arrive. Adanya is wearing a dress by Sylvie and Bruno of Etsy. Her strappy black sandals are from Ebay.

We made the pennant banners ourselves out of scrapbook paper, ribbons and stickers.

Adanya's red rose purse we bought in a local shop.

This is the spread for the second snack table.

The pumpkin is fake -- one of those carve-able ones Joanns sells.

Never carved it though. We aren't brave.

The black tray we bought at Michaels as a mini curio display.

But we laid it flat and lined it with some scrapbook paper to serve as a party tray.

Tablecloth underneath is from Julie's Birthday Party set.

The blue beaded container, Ugly doll, Lil Monster doll, and owl were given to Adanya by her brothers. The lion was also a gift from them. We found the beaded container in the same local shop as the purse. The rest of the items we found in airport gift shops.

The lollipops, cookies, cupcakes, chocolates, and pieces of cake are from Etsy seller Pippaloo.

The mugs and plates are from AG Place (near the restaurant entrance usually).

The Truth or Dare mini game we found at a local Target in the $1 section at the front of the store.

The skull beads we again found in that local shop.

Treats by Pippaloo.

These are the cards for that Target mini Truth or Dare game.

The bat we bought at Michael's in a set of three in the scrapbook supply area.

The plate we bought at a museum gift shop in Austin, TX.

This is the spinner wheel that comes with the Target Truth or Dare mini game.

Also, the lion is hanging out, waiting for the guests to arrive and the games to start.

Adanya is leaning against the black chest of drawers/second snack table.

This is a jewelry box we bought at Target to use as furniture for the dolls.

The other tables are Josefina's nightstand and Cecile's desk.

Adanya's feather hair accessory is a human earring we have repurposed. ;-)

"When are my friends going to get here??? I am so nervous I have rearranged the food 10 times!!! Someone needs to get here soon!"

Adanya's Halloween-Birthday Party! Part One!

BOO TO YOU!

Yes, we have a lot of other stuff we meant to post about before we posted this set. But it is already Halloween week! So we are going to start this now. :-)

Adanya was born on Halloween -- so every year we try to have a party for her that has a Halloween theme. This year we finally photographed the festivities for you!

She has invited 5 of her friends to the party and she is waiting for them to arrive. Adanya is wearing a dress by Sylvie and Bruno of Etsy. More shots of it will be in Part Two.

The inspiration for this blog post series comes from Inky's B-Day party posts, such as this one: http://superinky.blogspot.com/2011/11/today-was-my-birthday-party-i-woke-up.html.

The main treats table is laid with a lot of stuff we have purchased from Pippaloo on Etsy. Spiderweb cake, donuts, chocolates, pie, beignets, cookies, bread, cinnamon rolls, Smores, etc.

The wooden board is from Pippaloo, as well as the 'silver' tray. The other plates are dipping sauce dishes from Crate and Barrel. The glitter spider web decorations are from Michaels. The shaker box that the silver tray is on top of we bought from Carl Huth, http://www.huthshakerboxes.com/index.htm. He handcrafts oval boxes in the Shaker tradition.

The coffin we found at Michael's and decorated it with scrapbook paper, stickers, and scrapbook ribbons. It came as a raw wood piece. You can see it here, on Pippaloo's blog: http://pippaloofordolls.blogspot.com/2012/09/scaring-up-some-autumn-fun-everything.html. The glittered candy we also found at Michael's -- in the scrapbook supply area.

The cauldron we found in Salem in a Wiccan supply shop. The root beer floats come from Julie's birthday set. The ice cream swirly shake is from Etsy seller Miniature Menu. We had a second one, but goodness knows where we put it....

The pumpkin is real -- one of those tiny ones, we found it in our grocery store and stuck the spider on for decoration. We found the pedestal for the pumpkin at Joann Fabrics -- it is a candle pedestal. :-)

Stay tuned for Part Two!!!
