Vintage Circus Birthday Party

Here are some great ideas to throw your own vintage circus birthday party!

Vintage Circus Birthday Party themed poster

My friend, Candice, threw her twins this amazing vintage circus birthday party. In fact, one of our treasure hunts together was to find some vintage items for the party. She did such a great job!

We found this old crate at a flea market. I love how she’s incorporated it with all the fun decor. Candice already had that amazing vintage scale. I think it’s awesome when you can incorporate items from around your home too. And the elephant on top is adorable and quirky.

Animal crackers in bowl with circus animal figurines on table.

She borrowed this adorable mini popcorn machine. What a great idea to have the popcorn already popped and in cute bags ready for guests! The vintage clowns on top of a galvanized tub? Stop, it’s too cute for words!

And look at this old gumball machine and vintage clowns! I love how she displayed little pieces around a big vintage piece.

 Candice’s dining room is already gorgeous but with all the vintage circus items it just looks out of this world!

She made this red and gold curtain and draped it over her mirror so that it look like a window. What a great idea.

How adorable is her muscle-man son?

And her daughter with the mustache and dumbbell? Stop! It’s just too cute!

Look how strong this party-goer is!

This outfit is to die for!! And gotta love this painted pedestal.

Hello! Great family photo opportunity! This is such a great idea for snapping cute shots with these props.

Of course no circus-themed party would be complete without Barnum’s Animal Crackers and Cracker Jacks! And a cute monkey, naturally.

I love how she used simple white paper bags and just stamped them with a cute vintage circus stamp from Michael’s.

Candice, you did an AH-MAZING job and I think your twins had a blast too 😉

So this rock star mama made almost everything for this party.

I’m hoping one day soon Candice can tell us how she made these amazing props like the pedestals, ring of fire, dumbbell, adorable mustaches, and curtains.

Happy birthday twins!!!

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it ha Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it hard to also be a person that is organized and hates clutter! I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
