Portlandia Party



My sister and I are incredibly close, we're partners in crime, roomies and best friends.  Last week she moved to Portland. I had to send her off in style so I threw a little going away bash for her and couldn't resist the opportunity to mock the Portland clichés with a Portlandia themed party. Everyone had to wear plaid.


Beard banner and a woodland centerpiece. I served Shepherd's Pie and made cupcakes with birds on top.


Put a bird on it!

Bicycle stamps on the plates.


The cocktail recipe and mis-matched vintage glasses for Portland Punch.




Guests wore beards, they ate, drank and made merry and then they beat the crap our of a pinata (not very Portland but fun all the same).

Bye Dannie! 

Thanks to Amy for helping me with all the crafts and for taking these photos.
