Celebrate Spring with Peter Rabbit

Last Spring, I hosted a "Celebrate Spring" party with a Peter Rabbit theme. We set up a table outside in the backyard and the kids all had deviled eggs, quartered sandwiches, and cupcakes. The cute little garden carts and cupcake picks made it so simple to decorate otherwise plain white cupcakes. All of the lovely paper goods were from Meri Meri. They carry a whole line of party goods, including cupcake boxes, cupcake picks, plates, cups and napkins. Around Easter time, most stores carry a bunch of Peter Rabbit items. I picked up boxed Peter Rabbit chocolates as favors.

We had been reading the Peter Rabbit stories together as a family, and I thought it would be a great tribute to the mischievious little bunny. I really love the quiet pace of Beatrix Potter's books and the beautiful illustrations of the English countryside. To me, Peter Rabbit captures the spirit of childhood and all of its wonderful moments which we so often miss in the hurried pace of life.
