If you're looking for a cute wooden letters to decorate your children's bedroom or maybe to be hanged on the door, then look no further, Artiwood Letters should be considered for your source.

I am very lucky to have the opportunity to get some Artiwood Letters, because I haven't had any children yet so I decided to order my name instead. I ordered it in the "Fairy Alphabet" theme.
Well actually, this is what happened: I've been wanting a personalized wooden letters that spells my name since I was a teenager haha! So childish, I know. But I just couldn't help it. I love personalized stuff where you can have an item with your name on it ;p So anyway, when I saw these really cute fairy themed letters in a very pretty pink color I am so hooked and order my name immediately ;)

And here's what I received:

Aren't they so very cute? :D

Artiwood Letters is an eco-friendly, Australian based wooden toy company that specializes in the design and manufacturing of fun and colorful wooden painted letters. Beside the FAIRY alphabet theme they also have DOLPHIN, DINO, ANIMALS, and KOALA alphabet themes. They are all pretty cute and fun looking wooden letters. I personally love the Fairy theme because it's PINK!, and because I LOOOVE Fairies :D

The quality of the wooden letters are pretty good. The color is vibrant (my photos are a little bit dark because it was cloudy when I took the pictures, but the real color is more vibrant than the pics). I also love the painting of the fairies, the colorful details of the fairies only makes them more pretty! Every little girl (or adults :p) would love these and it looks so good on the door. The paint used are non-toxic lead-free paints so it's safe enough for children. I hanged these on my wardrobe closet door, I have a wooden closet so I hanged these letters on the wooden door, and it looks sooo cute!! i love it :D

The letters are made from a sturdy wood, it's sturdy but it's not heavy. The paint job is very neat and looks professional and every letter comes with a self-adhesive too so it's really easy to just attach it to any surface.

Overall, I love my Artiwood Letters. It's a great gift to give and it's personalized too. You can order any word or name you like. They can also write our personalized greetings & messages on a colorful sheet that accompany our order. This way it's perfect to send them straightly to the receiver. The cost is $3.95 per letter + $9.50 for shipping worldwide.

Ever since I entered giveaways on many other review&giveaway blogs I only won like 3 times (err... 4 to be exact -- not so lucky compared to hundreds and hundreds of giveaways I entered for the past 9 months ;p), but at least I won something :D

Let's see... I have won a reusable chic bag from Envirosax, a $35 gift certificate from Strawberry Anarchy (an etsy seller) in which I spent it for a cute cherry earrings and a unique blue charm bracelet.
And then I won another gift certificate from Milan Maternity for $75 (since I'm not pregnant yet --hopefully will be soon-- so I haven't used the gift cert yet, luckily the gift cert doesn't have an expiration date).
And the latest I won is a Moisturizing Body Whip in Very Vanilla which arrived in my door step last month and which I loooveee very much!

This is when the package came in. It's filled with little red heart cutouts, so pretty! - this pic just doesn't do it justice, the real package is pretty.


The smell is soooo Yummm! I love love love it so much!
This one is from Willow Ridge Soap Co.
Very recommended! :D

Today's inspirations: Dreamy houses, anyone?
Who would've thought that fairy tale and storybook cottages really do exist?


Barbie's house in real life size!
Maybe Ken is in there peeking behind the curtains as we speak ;p


Quaint little cottage just like in the story book!



Who knows, maybe Cinderella lives here with the prince...

And my fave:

This could be Hansel & Gretel's house..!

And if the town has stores like these:


Then I'd packed my things and plead to my hubby to move to that town, ASAP!
^o^

Dreamy houses and stores pics source is from brianvandenbrink.com and Velvet & Linen.

Party Planner : Tea Party

If you read my blog for quite some times then you might notice that I have some posts that labeled "Imaginary Party Planner" ;p I know it sound silly but I just couldn't help imagining my own parties and made up some fake parties in my mind ^o^ Call me crazy but I can't help having this big enormous imagination. You can check my previous party planner posts here, who knows..maybe it would give you some inspirations for your own parties :)

Anyway, today on Imaginary Party Planner: Tea Party!
Yeay, I have always wanted to have a tea party with just several girls, not too crowded or else it'd be a big party. Tea party should be small party so it would feel more private and warm. You can chat and laugh and giggle with all your girlfriends or girl family member. Oh this should be fun! :)

Let's start, shall we?
(pls note that all photos are linked to their original source so if you click the pic it would take you to the pic's source)

THE INVITATION:

How bout this cute invitation? Perfect, don't you think?
It's printed as teacups on both sides in soft pastel colors and quaint patterns. The two halves of the card are glued together except at the top, to form a pocket for the teabags. All the information: date, time, place, and RSVP - is printed on two "teabags". The teabags even have strings attached to labels saying "tea time!" and "join us!"


THE DECORATION AND SETTINGS:
Let's start at the foyer table:
I put on some miniature felt tea set and a couple of eye-candy. It's a cute invite for the guests when they first arriving and would hopefully bring up a cheerful mood :)

Felt tea sets.


Cute jewelry arranged in a cute cup and fake cone, set as eye-candy in the foyer table.

We have a long table standing in the middle of the room with dining chairs covered in white satin fabric and white lace ribbon where the main tea ceremony is being held, but we also have groups of sofas and chairs spread around the corner of the room so that the guests could sit back and chillax and mingle with other guests after the main tea ceremony is over. Every sofa groups has their own table complete with more cookies and teas.
Here is the main table setting:

You can’t go wrong with these unique teapot placecard holder and favor box combo!
This hold the placecard so everybody knows where to sit. The card used to print the guest's name is adorned with teacup print too. And the box below could be used to storage mints or maybe sugar cubes for the tea! What a brilliant and unique idea this item is. You can get it at rosemarycompany.com (click the pic to go there).

The centerpiece:

Pretty unique shabby chic PINK! teapot.

And the table setting:


Assorted teapots, cups and saucers, candles, cookies, cupcakes, sugar cubes, milk, strawberries and shortcake bread.
With a cute white and pink cupcake picks like this:



Also on the table:

We serve tea and assorted sweet snacks such as these pastel colors sweet things..

The cookies and cakes:
And these assorted yummy cookies and cupcakes:







(all are from flickr page, pls click photos for direct link)


And some other finger food:



The teapots being used in the main table:

Since it's a long table so we need more than one teapot to serve the guests.


And since this is "my party" then the sugar cubes provided are not just ordinary sugar cubes ;) It's all decorated sugar cubes y'all!


These sugars are intricately decorated with colorful tiny little flowers for added fun :D

And of course, tea napkins. Set alongside the teacups and saucers are these pretty vintage floral print tea napkins:

..presented with this cute napkin ring:



And don't forget the flower arrangements:

Both for the main table



The decor on one of the sofa groups table:


And these are the pretty cookies that were spread among the group sofas and chairs so everyone could still gossip while enjoying these sweet assortment:

THE CAKES:
Because I found 2 pretty cakes which I can't decide on which one should I take then I decide that serving TWO cakes would be awesome! ;p
And this is the first cake:

A very pretty teapot-shaped cake complete with tea-sets spread on top of it with a pretty table-cloth made of sugar paste. It's so pretty..
I also love the pearl embellishment added and the vintage floral plate in which the cake sit is soo beautiful. This cake would be put in the center of the main table as the main cake.


And this is the second cake, just for fun! :

This cute cake shows a tea party on it's own!
A very cute and unique cake depicting one bear family's tea party in the woods.
This cake is smaller than the main cake which is the tea-pot shaped cake, and this cake would be put on a side table surrounded with pretty floral plates like these below, so everyone who wants a piece of this cake can serve themselves:

The assorted pretty plates to eat the cake above.


THE PARTY FAVOR:
And for the party favor bags when the lovely tea party is over:

A small sized reusable fabric stickers set with tea party theme!


"tea time" decorative tile.


And one each of assorted pretty decorative teaspoon!
(All three items above are from etsy, click the pics for direct link)

All those three cute little things would be packed in this cute and lovely looking Strawberry-Box:

It's actually a cake box made of felt but it's cute enough to host the party favors! ;p

Ooh, and don't forget the "Thank You" note, slipped inside the strawberry box too. I chose these lovely vintage thank you tags, actually it's in french (mercy beaucoup) which makes it more chic ;p :

And what should a hostess wear in her tea party?
