Thing 1 and Thing 2, what a wonderful party for you!

Arts and crafts and tons of fun! But who can go wrong with a Dr.Seuss pun? Cupcakes and frosting and glue galore. This is not a party that could be called a bore. As you can tell were stuck on rythmes, but who wouldn't be when you're having a good time. This Dr. Seuss inspired party was a blast! So much fun putting together each of the Thing 1 and Thing 2s for the little ones. Who doesn't love a good Dr. Seuss book?

Hope you love our Cat in the Hat party!

Cheers!

just our cup of tea

Remember when you were little, and you would play dress up and have tea parties with your most-loved stuffed animals? We do :) There's nothing quite as charming as little teapots, mini sandwiches and snacks, and desserts galore. TOAST loved planning this little party...it was like revisiting our childhood dreams. Enjoy :)
Cheers!

A Night at the Casbah to Benefit CALM

Recently TOAST designed & planned a fundraiser for CALM of Santa Barbara. CALM is a non-profit organization "whose mission is to prevent, assess, and treat child abuse by providing comprehensive, culturally competent, services for children, families and adults CALM offers a safe, non-judgmental, caring and strength-based environment to heal and increase family well being." We are so happy to be involved with such a wonderful organization!
We loved designing the Moroccan theme and creating a colorful & festive atmosphere! All the photos were taken by the amazing & talented Bridger Clements. Bridger primarily does fashion photography but generously lent us his skills for the fundraiser, and we are so grateful! Additionally the lovely flowers were designed with the help of Jocelyn Kellogg of Beautiful Day Productions. A big thanks to everyone who helped to make this amazing event possible!
Cheers!

Butterflies & Bullfrogs Part II

Hello All :)
A few weeks ago we mentioned that we were busily putting together a butterflies & bullfrogs themed birthday party, and it all came together this past weekend. The party was magical--we LOVE children's parties.  There is something so whimsical about youth and spring time that TOAST absolutely adores.

 Isn't the table so sweet?  We love the little chairs.
here's a close-up of the table decor.  butterflies, mini carrots, daisies, and bullfrogs, oh my!
We filled the trees with larger-than-life butterflies and flowers!
Last but not least, we made sure that the mothers' luncheon table was in full bloom.
What a wonderful party!  Happy Birthday Amelia!


We couldn't have been happier to be a part of Amelia's special day.  She made our day even better when she asked us, in all her youthful sincerity, "Why is my party over?"
Awwwww.  May everyday be a celebration :)  Cheers!
