Peter Pan party!

When I was little, I 100% believed in Peter Pan, so my heart skipped a beat when I spotted the Peter Pan birthday party that artist Merrilee threw for her three-year-old son Atticus. How amazing is the illustration she did for the invitation?

  2. I was obsessed with Peter Pan when I was little. I played a lost boy when I was in 5th grade...hah really wanted the part of Wendy, but sadly it went to an 8th grader! :-) Love the party idea!

  8. I was at a 7yr old girl bithday party. She had as a surprise, Pony en Fête, is a company that offer the service and bring a pony and other small animals to the party.
    The kid's get to ride the pony, brush it. I though it was original and the kids loved it! She had a cake made with the theme of Tinker Bell, it was made by a bakery, it was beautiful, and everything on the cake was edible (insect and other little creatures). It brings the kid out of me! Was a realy nice party.

  12. Um, firs of all, I love Peter Pan, secondly, I LOVE that Pan print up there, and thirdly, I am obsessed with the name Atticus (but the husband hates it. Bummer when it comes time to name a son).

    If I can brag a bit, and if you're interested, check out the watercolor my student just did of Peter Pan at http://thedryingrack.blogspot.com

  26. Man! I got excited thinking it was a grown up party. I went by Tinkerbell for two years in college, and was amused at the prospect of reprising that role. Oh well, haha. Super adorable kid's party though! Oh, how I miss being a little one sometimes. :)
