five fancies on a friday

I am SO HAPPY that it's Friday (just as I am every week)!

Friday nights and Saturdays are generally my "weekend", my relaxing time.

I'm going to be quite honest, most Saturdays I try not to make any plans, and then I spend a good part of my day in my pajamas. :)

I've been thinking a LOT about Audrey's birthday.

We're less than two months away, so I'm feeling the need to iron some details out.

We have (ahem, I have, with Audrey's consent) decided to make this year's party an Indian Princess Pow Wow.

And yes, I know that is not a politically correct theme. ;)

Since birthdays and feathers and arrows and teepees have been on my mind, they will be dominating this week's fancies.

How awesome is this dreamcatcher print?!

One of my ideas for a possible (small) "friend party" is to set up a dreamcatcher making station.

An embroidery hoop, some yarn, and an assortment of beads and feathers would do the trick!

I absolutely adore the following presentation.

Super simple. 

And cheap!

I wish that I could guarantee great weather for Audrey's birthday, 

but the weather in April, in Central Texas is finicky, to say the least.

Last year we couldn't even set up her cupcakes on a stand because of the wind.

Given the right environment, I would LOVE to have a teepee at her party.

I've seen some super simple tutorials out there and just think of the WOW! factor.

I'm definitely envisioning headdresses on party goers. 

Such a fun and easy thing to do.

And, of course, the birthday girl would need a SUPER special one!

And last, but most definitely not least, this tutorial for a flameless fire pit by Free People.

I really don't have the time to take on this project, but I really want to because, well, it's just flipping cool!!

So, there you have it.

Some of my party inspiration.

We'll see how the actual thing turns out.

What are you up to this weekend?

peace, love, and all things sparkly.
