And we're back!!!

Hey Everybody!  Pad + Party is back!  I can't thank everyone enough for all the sweet phone calls, texts, emails, food and gifts for Baby Davy!  We are seriously so blessed and just love him to pieces and appreciate all the love and support from y'all!  God is good and I am so thankful that He chose me to be Davy and Mae Mae's Mama!  Here are a few of my fav pics from when we brought our boy home!

Mae Mae says "I'm outta here..."

Needless to say we have had an incredible past few weeks..but in between snuggles and diapering, some really fun Pad + Party things have been going on!!! We have another completed project, one project that is almost done and a new project just beginning!!! Can't wait to share all that goodness with you soon!  We also did a lot of brainstorming and collaborating over the past few weeks and have come up with some really cool new features that will be on the blog soon.

However I feel like Pad + Party needs to pump up the "Party" side of the business...I've had so much fun designing rooms and obsessing over interior decor the past few months, that I've neglected half of what Pad + Party is all about...so let's get back into the swing of things with some inspiration for a Mexican themed Welcome Party...which happens to be taking place TONIGHT!  

We are setting up as we speak...can't wait to show you how it turns out!  

!Bienvenido a la Fiesta!

OLE!

Monogrammed Monday: Linen Napkins

Introducing P+P's first Monogrammed Monday!  Today I'm bringing you the best the web has to offer of monogrammed linen napkins!  While companies like Julia B. and Leontine Linens make beautiful linens, they are a bit pricey.  So I have included not only my favorite luxury brands, but the napkin that every hostess, with not the mostess money, can afford!

About a year ago, I purchased the most beautiful set of 12 linen, contrast stitched, cocktail napkins on One Kings Lane for only $45!  I had them monogrammed here in Shreveport for almost nothing and truly feel like a million bucks everytime I use them! 

Hope you have a great week!

P + P Events: Bachelorette on the Bay

A few weeks ago, I was honored to host an event for one of my oldest friends.  She is getting married in October and I feel so blessed to be apart of her special day!  We all met down in Galveston at my family's bay home and had the perfect weekend!  However I have to admit, planning the party and setting everything up was just as much fun!  Here are the Party Pics!
