We’re so excited to finally share all of the pictures and details of our fabulous Mary Poppins blogger party! If you’ll recall, we had a giveaway where 10 blog readers and their guests were invited to attend a fun party at my home, hosted by 11 other Utah bloggers. We had an amazing day filled with perfect weather, gracious guests, wonderful hosts, delicious food and amazing sponsors & vendors! We hope you enjoy browsing through the beautiful pictures of the event taken by Lyndsey at Lyndsey Fagerlund Photography.
The darling invitations were sent out to our guests. Chalkboard art, daisies, cherries and, of course, Mary Poppins was the theme of our party! Invitations and printables by Design Dazzle.
Welcome to Cherry Tree Lane!
A temporary party structure was made to hold all the umbrellas.
All the red gingham fabric and black and white polka dot fabric was donated by OnlineFabricStore. Thank you to those who helped sew the tablecloths!
Kite chair tieback with Mary Poppins sayings!
Black and white polka dot ribbon with daisies and wild flowers make for a cute napkin ring holder to secure the bright yellow napkins.
Large paper daisies, wild flowers, red mesh and ribbon create a darling tie back for the black polka dot fabric.
All the food was made by the blog team! We seriously had a lot of compliments on how yummy the food was!
Appetizers, strawberry spinach salad and gourmet sandwiches – all delicious! Love the mason jars and daisy cut lids!
“And never smell of Barley water” lyrics from the song The Perfect Nanny. Our water just happened to be good old cold water ; )

You actually make it appear really easy to put together!

Isabel,
Sometimes it comes together quite easily and other times it’s a little bit tricky. I’ve always loved Mary Poppins so this one came together fairly well!

What kind of paint do I use on my umbrella to design that absolutely beautiful door creation you had on your site. That was amazing! I am in No Way Creative, but I just have to try to make that. Your AMAZING!! This is my first time on your site, I will certainly return. Waiting patiently for your answer. Thank you for your time.

Hi Linda!
Thanks for your sweet comments. Are you referring to this post https://www.designdazzle.com/2015/04/umbrella-spring-door-decor/
If so, inexpensive craft paint was used to paint the umbrella. It was winter with snow on the ground when I made this umbrella door decor. I would have spray painted it but couldn’t do it inside. So spray paint might work better – I just don’t know. The craft paint works but tis does crack over time with a lot of handling.
