i was going to post about how much i loved twirly sticks in jars, but decided to veer away from yet another pink house post and show you my friend blythe's rad party!  she sent me an email that said she wanted the food to be "cheap and easy, but tasty. preferably homemade, but keyword: easy." the perfect solution....... make your own grilled cheese!! SO easy.... just put out bread and cheese and butter (we added tomatoes and mustard for some spice), and we heated up 2 of those long grills.  i'm really into participatory birthday ideas, and this one ruled.  inspiration!!

so blythe turned 24, and the party was held in her grandma's backyard garden. we got the flowers from the LA flower market, people brought lots of great cheeses, she made sangria and checkerboard cake with sprinkles, and we loved our lives. enjoy these! parties dont have to be expensive to be fun!

I don't mind pics of The Pink House. It goes hand in hand with this blog.
The color on these shots is really something! My fav pic is your friend giving a speech to her admiring followers.
