Black Queen Designs
Black Queen Designs is a online jewelry boutique owned by Gretchen Diehl, a designer currently living in Philadelphia. Her pieces are beautiful, afforadble and ethereal. Artist's statement: "I consider my work to be an exploration of drawing as a form of storytelling". There is lots of cool stuff in her store, but I am particularly partial to her owl necklaces which are handmade made using artist's original illustration.

Owl Themed First Birthday Party + Tutorial



Louise Wackerman sent me these photos of this amazing owl themed birthday party which she helped her friend host for her daughter's first birthday. Her friend is an owl-lover who added several awesome owl details to the party like owl invites, owl napkin rings and cupcake toppers.



There are so many other adorable details of the party that I totally love such as those stuffed owl favors and owl vases. Louise has graciously shared the tutorial for the owl favors on her blog for the inspired ones. Click here for the step by step instructions.



If I have to pick my very favorite from the party then it has to be the photo booth. It looks so much fun! The colorful owl masks seem to be hit among both kids and adults. What are you favorites of the party?
