Ever since having Jasper, my eyes have been opened to the magical world of children’s clothing. Everything is cuter when it’s pint-sized! I’m sure many of you with kids are familiar with Gymboree, so you’ll be thrilled to know they are giving their brand a revamp! The clothing styles are modern and fresh while still maintaining the comfort and sensibility kids need. The clothing is so sweet and is sure to make you and your littles smile! We were so inspired by the colorful, fun pieces that we designed a party scene around the new line, complete with an Alexander Girard-inspired Sunshine Piñata!

Take a peek at the collection and download the templates to make your own sunshine piñata!

Who doesn’t love Paris? Better question: Who doesn’t love French Pastries? I’ve got a serious love affair with Pain au chocolat (chocolate Crossaints). Bastille Day or French Independence Day is July 14th. What better way to celebrate than with Printable Parisian Placemats featuring illustrations completed with delectable French pastries! Marie Antoinette gets a wig of Profiteroles, Napoleon Bonaparte has a croissant hat, and Notre Dame flaunts stain glass-French Macaron windows! These are perfect for a Paris-themed brunch, party, or get together and make setting the table a breeze and a cinch to clean up! Simply send them to your local printer, pair with a red gingham tablecloth and blue and white striped napkins, and but all the French pastries!

In case you didn’t know: June is the unofficial birthday month! At least here at the Lars Studio 🙂 Four members of our team have June Birthdays! Where are all my Geminis at?! Queen Elizabeth also officially celebrates her birthday in June. The royal affair is known as the Trooping of the Colours. This grand celebration includes the royal guard, a procession for the Queen, and the gathering of the royal family. Which means we’ll get to see the newlyweds again! Any guesses on what Meghan will wear?

If you happen to be celebrating any birthdays this month, or this summer, this Floral Numbers Birthday Cake Topper is a sweet way to honor them! Simply mold wire into the number you want and cover with fringed crepe or tissue paper! Tiny paper flowers make the numbers appear to be blossoming vines! Fun fact: Queen Elizabeth’s favorite flower is the primrose, but she also adores wildflowers. So she’d surely approve of this cake topper.
