bunting by giggleberry creations We've been living and breathing Strawberry Shortcake around here for the last few weeks. It all culminated in the party of all parties (if you're a five year old) to celebrate Chloe's fifth birthday! The day was truly magical and the weather could not have been more stellar. Here's a peek inside our strawberry land...
Miss Chloe awaiting her guests.
I had been gathering for months and it all came together beautifully. Thanks to some wonderful etsy sellers for some amazing strawberry goodies. Scrappy Jessi made Chloe this wonderful cutsom album, which is now full of birthday memories. Missy of boopsiedaisy sent Chloe the vintage strawberry hat and placecard.
I also bought this print from boopsiedaisy's shop and the beautiful bunting from giggleberry creations.
Our new (vintage) horse welcomed our guests.
The table was set for the ladies to decorate hats and baskets for the scavenger hunt later. 
Treats galore!
Strawberry Shortcake activities...of course!
The cookies made by the kids. Yum!
Chloe warming up for the party...
The scavenger hunt was really fun. I created a sheet that had about a dozen strawberry shortcake characters and gathered trinkets that matched each character and put them in a bag for each. 
The girls went around with their treasure hunt sheet and found each bag hidden in the yard. They took one item and put it into their basket. Thanks to this and this etsy shop for beautiful handmade strawberry creations.
The pony was a hit! Along with the other carnival games we played.
Chloe and I made her cake together. It's definitely quirky and homemade, but I thought it turned out pretty cute!
Then there were presents 
and hugs....
and a very tired mommy and Chloe. What a wonderful time we had!!
Good-bye from strawberry land!

OMG Kari! What an amazing birthday party. Strawberry Shortcake totally fits that little sweety Chloe. I just love all the vintage strawberryness! I'm sure this will be a party that everyone, especially you and Chloe, will always remember and hold dear!
You are sick...that's all I have to say! OMG! I am in LOVE with that party! That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time!!!! I am sure your dd and her friends will remember that for ever. :) Glad I stumbled on your blog.
Such a darling party!! I love it -- all of the sweet details from the balloon colors, the hats, the ADORABLE strawberry cookies with the chocolate sprinkles, the scavenger hunt -- all of it. So cute.
You did a berry-rific job!
What an ADORABLE party! Such a fun party for a cute girl!
You are the most creative person I know! Wonderful, cute details..just a superb party, your daughter is so darn pretty.
Looks like a wonderful party! How special a memory your daughter will have when she is older.
Wow! How fun! I love Strawberry Shortcake! :)
A great looking party you had for Chloe!!! I checked to see if i had anything strawberry shortcake themed, but that wasn't one of the themes that i or my sister really had much of from back in the day. You did a great job in finding items and creating your own... not that i wouldn't expect you to be able to... so much talent!!
Looks like perfect weather too... She had fantastic day for celebrating. Your cake turned out so cute!
Wow, wow, wow! The party looked absolutely stunning!! I bet Chloe had a fabulous day!
Thanks for the mention about my bunting banner too :)
I wish you could have seen my five year old's face and shrieks when I showed her this post. 'It's lovely!' was the phrase most used. Then she said, 'Mummy, you have to do one for me next birthday!' And added, 'Well you can try...'
Homemade cakes are the best. And I love the end photo of you and Chloe. xx

Oh man, what a shin dig! I love the pennant banner! And the balloon colors! And the strawberry cookies!
What fun! Everything looked perfect for Chloe. : ) The cake was so pretty-you girls did well. Five sure is a fun age.
Now that's a party! Chloe is a very lucky girl to have such a creative mom! I bet when she's 50 she'll remember that party!

The best party I guess. Those hugs are just sweet.
Magical!
What a great Mommy you are to create such an adorable party and she'll always remember just how much fun it was, I'm sure! Suzie

My daughter was a strawberry shortcake fan when she was little. Now she is thirty-three. Yikes! I bought her(well, me) every strawberry shortcake doll that came out and I still have them. Your party looks absolutely amazing. Your daughter is one fortunate little girl.
