Today is the last Paris Party Playstand and we have the menagerie. If you’re just joining in, on Monday I shared the diy kids patisserie playstand and Wednesday was the boutique. My fellow blog friend Stefanie at Brooklyn Limestone put together the most beautiful Paris themed birthday party for her daughter and I built the playstands:
Stefanie did all the painting, lettering on the signs and styling for the party. How beautiful?!
