My beautiful book eating boy has just turned three and reveled in celebrations this week with a stamina that has been hard to keep up with.
I still have a fair way to go in terms of party organisation but I did manage to make some cute bunting for decoration out of some old Golden Books….
We have recently moved house and I found a great local OP shop that has a large collection of Golden Books all shelved together. They were in varing degrees of quality, some with sticky pages and others with scribble, so I didn’t feel to bad cutting them up for flags. As Golden Books are all pretty much the same size and format they are very easy to cut from one template and then I glued them onto some yellow ric rac.
We also had Ned’s favourite food – popcorn in these gorgeous bags I ordered from Etsy seller HeyYoYo
and cute little tiger and panda decorations ordered online from My Poppet…
And of course he did get some fabulous books which I will tell all about soon.

I can’t believe your gorgeous little boy is three Lou!
He’s such a spunk!
The birthday festoons are too beautiful…
Hopefully I’ll be able to muster enough energy to create similar magic for Scout’s first birthday mid-year

Oh gorgeous. Happy birthday to Ned. I am glad you clarified about the state of the books – you are obviously like me and uncomfortable with the idea of cutting up books!
Love the popcorn bag, we’re thinking about having an ACMI party for Fred this year…might have to go and play on etsy!

Love those flags Lou. I found a fantastic antique/junk shop in Alexandra (north/east of Melb) that had THOUSANDS of old and new Golden Books for $1 each!!! You’ve given me another use for the many that I bought!

The bunting looks great. You girls are forever inventive regarding lateral ways of bringing books and reading into your boys’ lives.

Hi Lou, what a gorgeous idea with the bunting! I can’t believe he’s three already – the years have flown.
