fiesta + source update

/



I love the budget-friendly fiesta board on Snippet + Ink today. I'm sure we could all use a little cash-friendly inspiration at the moment! See more here.

...the board reminded me of those custom piñata's I've been hankering for. I contacted the sourced piñata company last week (Silver Crow Creations) to see if they indeed made custom pretties and just how much they might cost. Well- lo and behold, they do NOT make them. They referred me to Casa Bonampak - who I then discovered, does NOT make them either. So the hunt is on. If anyone knows of a company who does custom piñatas and you're willing to share, please post in the comments! I did, however, discover lots of pretty things on Casa Bonampak- paper flowers, paper hearts, custom 'Mexican' banners, and some great streamers.

Sharon Slaughter and I have followed much of the same path. We went to the same graduate school, we both worked at Martha Stewart (she was in the Kmart division and then moved to the Weddings magazine as an art director), and then went on to start paper goods companies in smaller towns. So I was thrilled to see her lovely rehearsal dinner on Snippet & Ink- I loved everything about it, not to mention it was in a Tennessee town!

Perhaps my two favorite details were the custom pinãta and 'mexican-style' flags. My brain is just swimming with ideas as to how to use these sources!
