I should’ve know better than to blog about things without sharing where I found them.
I was flattered by the many emails asking where I found the items used for my backyard baby blessing bash. Here’s the scoop:
I was flattered by the many emails asking where I found the items used for my backyard baby blessing bash. Here’s the scoop:
Cupcakes: So Cupcakes.
Drink dispensers: HomeGoods.
Labels: Erin at Designer Blogs.
Go here to download all the free printable labels.
Glass milk jugs and striped straws: Shop Sweet Lulu.
P.S. I’m in love with this shop!
I could have easily purchased one of everything and planned a party around each item they sell.
Check out some other beautiful things they carry…

That party is amazing! Wow. In love with the milk bottles and cookies on top. Thanks for sharing your sources. I have some of those jars and never thought of putting salads in them. Love it.

Debbie says
Amazing. Gorgeous. Well done. I love it all! 🙂
Alley says
Everything looks gorgeous! This is a silly question but how did you attach the labels to the jars?
Michelle (4 Men 1 Lady) says
Alley,
I simply cut to slits in the label then threaded a ribbon through the label and tied it behind the jar.
Alley says
So simple- why didn’t I think of that? Thanks so much!!
Taryn says
I LOVE, LOVE, that table. Where did you purchase that?

I’ve been following your blog for a while now and don’t think I’ve ever commented before. Suffice it to say I love your style. I cannot wait to see what you do with your new home. My question is in regards to the cucumbers in the water. Did you add anything else to the water for flavor? Such a beautiful display. Many blessings…
Liz says

Dear Michelle:
I found your original post on Pinterest and loved every single detail of your party. I, too, was curious about your sources, and thank you for sharing them with your readers. (I just placed my order for the little milk bottles!)
Thank you again for your generosity. I’ll be back again to explore your blog.
Blessings,
Donna

Hi,
Great ideas! Where did you purchase the compotes and cake stands?
MMO says
Hello…lovely site…was wondering what size the milk bottles are in your picture? The glass milk,farmstand or petite ones from Sweet Lulu? I LOVE your idea w/ the cookies and straw, anxious to order them myself!
Anonymous says
They are the farmstand milk bottles. I believe they come 12 to a pack.
Thanks,
Michelle
Swetlana says
Omg that’s a fabulous party put together. Like everyone else, I love the idea of milk n the cool straw with the cookies on top. You are so creative, I gotta follow u on everything. I really could use some lessons! Fabulous job!!
Hinckley Michelle says
Thank you Swetlana!
Lindsey F says
Love your cute party! I’m about to have one of my own and was wondering what kind of cookies you used on top of the milk jars and where you got them??? I’ve been looking all over and can’t find any!
Michelle Hinckley says
I actually found them at Smith’s (just a chain grocery store here in my area). If you can’t find them in the regular cookie isle then check the health food isle. I think they were gluten free or sugar free…something like that. Hope you share pictures of your party!
Michelle says
Hi Michelle,
I love your idea! What size jars did you use for the salads? Are they 1 or 2 gallons?
Thanks!
Michelle Hinckley says
2 gallon. Thanks!
