I'm starting a new SPOTLIGHT feature, where I ask a Catch My Party member to share about a party they recently threw.

And with yesterday's post on DIY photo booth props, I had to pick Pamela S's Mustache Bash!  Plus, how could a mustache-themed party not make you smile?

I loved Stacey W's One Year Old in a Flash Birthday from the first moment I saw it.  The colors, the festive vibe, the little details... and then I saw the homemade photo booth props and I was in pure heaven.

As you probably know by reading my blog, I love photo booths!

We get such gorgeous kids' birthday cakes on our site, I thought I'd highlight some.  How inspiring are these...

Linda V's Wizard of Oz Party

Now that Catch My Party is off and running, I thought it was time I got some half-way-decent photos taken of me. There are so many places I need to add a photo (like our own site), and I never seem to have one I like.

While my husband is wonderful in many ways, he takes the most unflattering photographs.

I love this stylish, disposable cutlery from Ecoware Products.

Because they're made out of birch (real wood), they're disposable like plastic cutlery, but they're also biodegradable.

We've seen a lot of gorgeous cowgirl parties on our site.  It's a great theme for the girl who loves horses.  Some of the parties involved real horses, some involved imaginary one.  All are super creative.  Take a look...

Tiffany C's Cowgirl Carnival

When I saw this tissue paper monogrammed letter that Pam made for her AC's Lemonade Stand Party, I thought it was not only beautiful, but such a personal way to welcome her guests!  (And how adorable is the mini lemonade stand too?!)

I asked Pam if she would share how she made it and so she put together this amazing tutorial.  Thank you, Pam!

I'm a big fan of miniature bunting on cakes, so when I stumbled upon the Kiki La Ru Etsy shop, specializing in cake bunting made from vintage and upcycled fabrics, I had to post about it.

I think cake bunting is such a beautiful party element. It adds a whimsical, handcrafted feel to your cake (especially a homemade one). Take a look at these lovely photos...

What a wonderful summer it's been for us here at Catch My Party (although a little cold in Santa Monica).  We hope you've had a great one, too.

We look forward to a festive fall filled with many great parties, new features on the site, and lots of posts highlighting all your creativity.

I love when design meets function.  And this definitely is the case with contemporary kitchenware company, Joseph Joseph.  Their products are smart and look good.  What more could you ask for?

Here are a few of my favorites items...
