Unicorn Party-in-a-box! My baby girl is 12!! #sponsored

Happy Birthday to my baby girl!! i can't believe she is 12 years old!  What better way to celebrate than a rainbow unicorn party??

We were super excited to check out this Party in a box by Partypros!  This 100-piece kit contains all the supplies you will need to throw a magical unicorn themed birthday party, all neatly packaged in one box!

The kit contains 2 large unicorn foil balloons (32”), 4 heart shaped foil balloons (18”), 6 purple latex balloons, 6 pink latex balloons, 6 white latex balloons, 14 pc Happy Birthday foil banner (ribbon included), 1 air pump (for inflating balloons), 1 unicorn headband, 24 cupcake wrappers, 24 cupcake toppers, and 12 piece set of unicorn photo props.

The cupcake wrappers are absolutely adorable! i had to put a piece of tape on each one to keep them from unfolding, but they were easy to fold and really make the cupcakes extra adorable! 

My girl helped blow up all the balloons and decorate. We couldn't believe how big the unicorn balloons are. She loves them and is planning to keep them in her room after the party. 

All ready for our guests to arrive!  This turned out great and we still have more balloons to blow up! 

The photo props are adorable. i decorated this little unicorn jar with my silhouette to hold them. 

They really are too much fun. They are good quality and she'll be able to keep them after the party and pull them out on days when friends come over. 

i impressed myself with the unicorn cake i made. TYpically my cakes look like something you'd see on cake wrecks, but this one actually looks pretty good!  i used fondant to make the horn and ears and cheeks. The horn is colored with a gold glimmer dust. It looks yellow in the photo, but it was shimmery gold. 

As a special surprise my daughters grandpa and almost all of her uncles arrived on her birthday!! They are here for the weekend for a brothers retreat, but showed up in time for the party!  i totally meant to have everyone use a photo prop in this photo, and then spaced it and forgot! Ah well, it was still super fun! i still can't believe my baby is 12!!!

We were super pleased with everything and my girl is planning to reuse all the unicorn decorations to decorate her room.

i received this party in a box kit at no cost in exchange for my honest review.  My opinions are my own.  The amazon link is a referral, and i may earn a small commision if you click on it and order. #sponsored #freeforreview #referral

Floyd Friday Artisan Market- things to do in Floyd, VA

It's market season! 

Every Friday night from 5pm-9pm in downtown Floyd, VA is the Artisan Market.  

It is held under the Community Market Pavilion. Featuring local and regional artisans, selling handmade arts and crafts!  There is live music and sometimes food vendors as well. 

 This is the first year i'll be setting up at the Floyd Artisan Market every Friday selling my lampwork glass pendants, beaded jewelry, hand woven dishcloths and more. i also plan to bring any extra farm fresh eggs i have at the end of each week. . 

My glass pendants range in price from $10- $20. i also usually have a few seconds available for $5 each.  i have turtles, mermaids, goddess, dragonflies, hearts, leaves and more!

i also have beadwork and hand woven dish cloths available. i plan to offer my crocheted goods, batik bags and possibly waldorf dolls in the future. i'm still kind of feeling out the market crowd to know what items would sell best.  

There have only been two markets so far this season, and the vendors have changed a bit with each one. You can find a nice variety of products though. Concrete planters and plants, tie dyes, crocheted squid, paintings, batik work and gorgeous hand carved bowls.

Just a few of the things you may see for sale.

You can find original watercolor batik art by Deborah Carrino and original paintings and prints by Starroot. 

The Artisan Market is located across from The Floyd Country store, in the pavillion next to The Station. If you are coming out to enjoy the Friday night Jamboree  stop by and check out the beautiful work of Floyd's local artists and crafters.
