Temporary Fun: Temporary Tattoos by Tattly. Party Ideas. by Karma Flowers

So much going on over here at Karma Flowers and Trunk Vintage Rentals, it's hard to find a place to start. 

The last couple of weeks has brought about some really awesome opportunities. We curated a vintage wedding at an American Boys Choir School, complete with a farmer's market-type cocktail hour. We designed a baby shower for a Jerseylicious cast member and Glam Fairy herself, Alexa. And we have had the opportunity to sell some of Dave's handmade furniture pieces. . .all of which I want to blog about.

But not today.

Today is Tattly Tuesday.

Tattly is a temporary tattoo company started by a mom, Tina Roth Eisenberg, who was tired of putting bad clip art temporary tattoos on her kids. I think I am as drawn to her story as I am to her tattoos. The website boasts, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem once said, "The best way to complain is to make something." And that is exactly how Karma Flowers was started too{see our story here}.

All the temporary tattoos on the site are designed by  wickedly talented artists & are sold in sets of 2 for $5. Every Tuesday, they feature a new tattoo.
{There are larger set and gift box options as well}.

Here are some of my favorites {some of which I have ordered and already sported}.

DIY Kids Parties {the mini/one project version}. by Karma Flowers

Everyone is talking about fall in terms of design and I am not ready to yet. Maybe it is because we have a bunch of non-fall themed events coming up in the next couple of weeks. I know for sure I will be ready by the time the white pumpkin wedding I designed arrives in October. . .can't wait for that one!

In any case I have been having this calling to have these fun little handmade mini-parties for my son. Really to celebrate nothing expect that we have a very blessed life that should be celebrated. I mean you don't need to always have an official reason to have a party right?

A couple fun DIY kids mini-party ideas I love and thought I would share. . .

Hank and Hunt

You can find this DIY mini party tent over on Hank and Hunt. It's simple and fun and would be adored by kids all ages.

I think people tend to think of wall decals of being a permanent design choice, but plenty of companies are making removeable wall decals these days. They are perfect for a backdrop to a fantastic fete and once the parties are over, they can be removed.

Bauble

Kids have a ton of old toys laying around the house? How about freshening them up a bit to add a bit a cheer to an ordinary day? I adore these gift boxes made from plastic toys.
