Birthday Decor 2014

Remember my last post where I talked about getting ready for birthday celebrating?  Well today you get to see all of the birthday goodness!

(You can click here if you didn't catch the post earlier)



The dining room, all clean, shiny and ready to go!



Here are the same shelves, now filled with birthday fun.



Plastic balloons and party hats. 

The large party hats can be found at Dollar Tree and the small pink one is a keepsake from Baby Girl's first birthday.  I purchased the plastic balloons from the florist I used to work for.  We got them in and I loved them right away, but they were too costly.  At $6-$8 dollars a piece it would have been nearly $150 dollars to get as many as I wanted.  So I waited...and waited...and waited...and waited and waited and waited...and finally they were reduced to $1. Yay!  I have about 20 of them now.



Another hat from Dollar Tree and a few noise makers.



Pictured here are more of the plastic balloons and a Dollar Tree party hat.  
Also from Dollar Tree are the party headbands.  

If you look closely you can see two glass jars filled with tiny items.  One contains miniature party hats, and the other miniature balloons.  These are birthday cake decorations.  I went to the bakery section of a grocery store and asked if they would be willing to sell cake decorating pieces.  I can't remember the actual cost but it was inexpensive at around $2 for the contents of each jar.



Birthday signs and banners.

I have these in the dining room, living room, kitchen and front porch.



Birthday ducks for the kids bathroom.  

I found these when Baby Girl was turning one and used them with her birthday decorations.  Now they come out every year to play wit the rest of the duck family.



Birthday in the kitchen.

I save the candles from Baby Girl's birthday cakes and put them in a glass jar.  I think it is so cute to have out on the counter each year!  Just don't try to store them in the garage, attic or any other place that gets very hot.  I did that once with some Christmas candles and ended up with melted wax everywhere...good times :p

We also have a pretty birthday wine glass.
Baby Girl thinks it's fun to drink her milk from this glass on her special day.

That's it for the basic birthday decor.  I'll follow up soon with photos from our Strawberry Shortcake party.  Thanks for stopping by!
