#2 Tassel Garland seen on Pizzazerri

My youngest daughter’s birthday is coming up soon, and we spent a good chunk of time this weekend picking out birthday party decorations. To my surprise, she absolutely HAD to have a tassel garland instead of the traditional “Happy Birthday.” What can I say, my kids are growing up!

I’ve seen these cute hand painted terra cotta pots floating around on Pinterest, and It’s been love at first sight! Use stickers to spell out your favorite herb garden pun. I think mine would be “if I could turn back thyme…” 😉
