Friday Eye Candy: Backyard Party

July 29, 2011 by Courtney 33 Comments

Remember Three Men and a Lady! Well sweet Michelle is now 4 Men 1 Lady. And shortly after having her third baby boy, threw the most charming backyard bash. What makes this even more delicious is that they have just recently moved and most of their house is under construction. I would have made reservations! Not Miss Michelle. Look at what they did: 4 Men 1 Lady   Fantastic, right! Can we talk for a moment about the cookies on top of the milk jars? Perfect. And while I have taken a table outside for parties before, I never dreamed of taking out frames, mirrors and chairs! Amazing. Michelle purchased the drink dispensers from Home Goods and the glass jars from Wal Mart. You can see more of the party details and sources over at her great blog. Thanks for letting us drool over this sweet party, Michelle. …………………………………………………. Happy Friday to you all! I will be spending the weekend painting the big boy room! Wish me luck! Woman painting via What are you up to this weekend?

    Wowza…shortly after having my third baby, I would be *RESTING*! She is one talented (and crazy!) gal! I love that it's so simple, but yet looks so classy…I'm going to have to go stalk her now (c:

    What a beautiful spread – I'm a complete slacker and haven't started any prep work for my daughter's party but I still have 4 weeks. Hoping to start doing some of the projects for the party this weekend – and cleaning. Lots of cleaning.
