I am so excited to tell you that those amazing heart shaped forks/knives/scoops, Heart Parts, you saw at my son’s birthday party are now available to purchase in Orange County!  No waiting or paying for shipping!  You can actually go and check out the colors in person to see what would match your party best.  The colors are extra gorgeous in person!   I got to meet the gorgeous, Fatima (above), creator of the hearts a few weeks ago.  She is amazing.  I don’t want to gush but I left there so happy and inspired and wishing she lived here.

This product is really genius.  But Fatima’s desire to create these forks was more than just aesthetic.  Go read the story behind these amazing forks here if you haven’t already.  She totally inspires me to think about what I really want to be creating.  I have no restrictions and can be as thoughtful and artsy with things as I want.  So I hope you will keep reading when I branch out a little and explore.

These awesome hearts can be found at The Pantry (formerly The Wedding Pantry) in their new location.  I just recently got to check out the space and if you haven’t been yet, you must put it on your calendar.  They have expanded in to more specialty party items instead of just wedding focused items.  I was able to use up the last of my green and white paper stripes because I knew that The Pantry had more if I needed them.  I’m odd like that.  I don’t like to be without the extra cute stuff.  I mean, what if I needed green and white striped straws like, tomorrow?!  The Pantry has them, phew!  And now they carry the Heart Parts!  You don’t need a party for this utensils.  They are perfect for kid’s lunch boxes, in the car, wherever! How amazing are the colors?  These hearts make me smile.  So go pick some up!  I’m sure you will “heart” them too!

And in case you didn’t know, The Pantry is holding a Birthday Party Bootcamp event!  See the full details above or go to The Pantry blog to learn more.  I can see that a lot of my go-t0 party vendors are participating (Meringue Bake Shop and Dez and Tam are the BEST!)  Go check it out.  It sounds super fun!
