I have some wonderful businesses advertising on my blog and I’ll be introducing you to them over time so you can discover some of the fantastic items which exist for your child’s parties and celebrations.
I love handmade items in a celebration and if you aren’t one for DIY there are some talented women who can create handmade decor for you such as Michelle – owner of Hanging Pretty. Michelle is based in Brisbane and works from her home studio, which she established in 2012 as a way to work from home while her kids were still little, making handmade prettiness.
Originally making unique mobiles for children’s rooms after not being able to find what she loved for her own daughter’s room a few years earlier she set about making her own bespoke creation and then went on to establish Hanging Pretty.
This beautiful mobile below really shows how Michelle’s business name “hanging pretty” aptly describes her creations!:
Michelle has previous work experience with events/functions so Hanging Pretty gradually transitioned from bespoke mobiles to custom papery for all aspects of events, boutique displays or photo-shoots where Michelle creates prettiness from a variety of mediums which are as unique as the person they are intended for. As part of this transition Michelle drew on her experience and love of styling to offer styling ideas for boutique window displays, celebrations for any occasion and weddings.
Can you believe these are handmade flowers made by Michelle? Absolutely gorgeous!
Hanging Pretty has a wide range of possible items for your child’s celebration such as: Sewn silhouette garlands, Cake bunting, backdrops, toppers, embellishments for straws and bottles, tassels, favour boxes and more!
Hanging Pretty Services also include (On Location from Brisbane to Gold Coast): Photo-shoot Styling, event planning, boutique window displays, sourcing of products and more!
Michelle is really lovely to deal with and is fantastic at brainstorming ideas for your celebration and designing something unique for your child’s party theme.
If you have an idea and need someone to make it happen then make sure you contact Michelle at Hanging Pretty.

Thanks Michelle for sharing some of your beautiful work with all of us!
Little milk bottles are so cute to use at kids celebrations! However I know many of you have avoided buying the glass milk bottles as you were worried about younger kids using them.
I also know how many of you LOVE the idea of plastic milk bottles with lids so I’m excited to offer you all the chance to win 24 of these lovely plastic milk bottles from The Bon Bon Boutique who have a lovely party boutique online. You can also find them on facebook here.
These bottles come with lids which have space for a straw which means less spill & easy drinking for little hands. I love them!
You will also receive one pack of silver striped straws and one pack of green striped straws
All you need to do is pop onto the Bon Bon Boutique website and have a look around and then comment on this blog post saying how you would use one of Bon Bon Boutique’s products for Mothers Day
Entries close on Friday 5th April at 9:00pm (AEST) and the winner will be drawn using random.org and announced on this blog.
