I have been inspired lately by the "vintage" or "old fashion" feel of parties. I was going for that look this year at our 2012 Memorial Party. Inspired by THIS POST.
Basket full of "vintage type" toys...Jacks, Gliders, bubbles and
jumpropes for the kiddies...
BIG hit in the heat!
Beverage Center
I handstamped all the wooden utensils.
Played some "old fashion" games...

Fun watching the fireworks that my hubby put on for us.
We did have a little visit from the police about 45 mins after fireworks...lol...our neighbor complained...
Oh well -
Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day!

What beautiful fireworks! Melissa, I must say, I also admire the kind of parties they had back then. They were simple, yet very classy and joyful. I remember when I was just in high school, and my grandma used to tell me her party stories in her teenage days.
