Aren’t they just so reminiscent of a perfectly simple, carefree childhood?
Imagine if you might that the window today is strung with paper chains made from vintage children’s books. There is an old-fashioned trike, probably a red wagon, definitely a spinning top and a jack-in-the-box. There is a party table laid with Nanna’s finest embroidered linens mixed up with some fun contemporary tableware. There is a row of paper party hats. There are paper bags filled with 5c sweets from the corner store – milk bottles, teeth, spearmint leaves, cobbers, conversation hearts – and tied with these tags. There is homemade lemonade in glass bottles with stripey paper straws. And a beautiful, simple birthday cake – homebaked, of course - perhaps vanilla sponge with strawberry jam and fresh whipped cream.
And if this window were wired for sound there would be giggles for sure – happy kids without the need for a jumping castle or magician to direct their party play.
We remember birthday parties like these – and we want that for our own children. Thanks KatyJane Designs for making old so very new again.

What lovely invitations! Great giveaway - I'd love to win some of the Umbrella invites. Would be so lovely for a little girl's birthday - as for a prop, I think cute gumboots (preferably spotted) would be perfect :)
Adorable invitations!
I really like the Cheeky Monkey invitations for the boy. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the vintage trike invites!
I have just discovered your amazing website and now blog. I have to say it is very inspiring! I am looking forward to planning my little boys next birthday which will now be very styled thanks to you... I am in love with the KatyJane Designed invitations. My favourite is the vintage planes. I am thinking kids making their very own paper planes. And my plane enthusiast husband making a cardboard box plane for the kids to play in. kjago26@hotmail.com
Lovely blog and great giveaway! These invitations make me smile!
What a lovely giveaway. I'm actually planning a party around the birthday boy's logo, a red biplane. I found wooden birdhouse biplanes we are painting and hanging them over the dessert table, so I would have to say I'm partial to your vintage plane invites. I wish I had found them sooner! :)
