A few months ago I came across the beautiful website Ava’s Tea Party through the wonderful blogging community. The story of Ava struck a cord with me on so many levels – not only was her departure so so tragic but also too because we have an angel in heaven who would have been the same age as Ava. Her amazing mum Sheye shares her story with such raw emotion through her blog – I was instantly drawn – just reading her words changes you as a person.
So on Sunday morning the girls and I took time out for a little simple tea party – we talked about what happened to Ava and we talked about Laura

We shared and we smiled

And we remembered our beautiful girls in heaven

It was so lovely to just be in the moment.

Blue skies and a perfect winter’s day helped to make Sienna’s Vintage Circus Party a wonderful success last weekend. I am so thrilled with how all the details turned out and the 18 friends and family that came along had wonderful smiles on their faces all afternoon.
The theme of the party was inspired by Kim from The Tomkat Studio’s wonderful Vintage Circus Invitation.
I hope you enjoy the details of Sienna’s party as much as enjoyed putting it together (all the links can be found at the end of the post).



The lolly jars were filled with all things pink and yellow – smarties, mini ice cream cones, banana’s, marshmallows, mini lollipops and jelly beans

I made the cupcakes and found some beautiful cupcake toppers by Joanne at The Cupcake Gallery


Strawberry Milk with vintage paper straws

Tissue Pom Poms for the ceiling and bunting behind the table and on the cake

Delicious cookies, individually wrapped chocolate bars and cute take home boxes for all the guests

Caramel Popcorn

Pink and Yellow Donuts


A vanilla butter cake with that lovely bunting inspired by Kristina at Modern Frills



Paul from Paul’s Magic had the girls mesmerized

With my girls

Thank you to all the wonderful and creative people who have inspired and helped with the details for this party and incredibly thank you to Amy Atlas who has today featured my party on her blog – talk about do a happy dance (as Kim would say).
