Dress Up Crowns, A Collaboration with Modern Cupcake (finally)

So ... you know it's a small world when in this huge town of a million + people you run into the same person via different connections, right? That's how it is with Jill of Modern Cupcake! We met briefly through a friend of a friend who said we have SO MUCH in common and would be fast friends if we had a chance to meet and hang out.... fast forward to months later when we both wound up attending Creative Estates here in Chandler, AZ. We just had so much fun chatting and brainstorming about just stuff!

Jill mentioned that she wanted to throw a London inspired party for her son whose party just happened to fall on the date of the Royal Wedding (that being said, did she really have any chance of throwing any other type of party!)? Probably not. She told me that she really wanted each kid to have a crown to wear and to take home as a favor. We talked about it and then one day I just happened to be browsing Pinterest and literally stumbled upon these beautiful Dress Up Crowns from The Long Thread. {Insert - this was my initial discovery of The Long Therad - and oh where have I been? Great website. More on that later because I recently snatched up her (Ellen Baker) new book called 1, 2, 3 Sew .. and am in love w/ it!}

Anyway, I sent the link to Jill, all the while I was pretty much beside myself with excitement because I just knew these crowns were what she was looking for! They were. We collaborated and had a ball doing it!
