Oh! Isn't this a delicious little party set up? This was the set up in the dining room at 41 Taylor during the Tumbleweed Cotillion. (You know, to give people a visual of a party set up!) I just loved adding all of the details to this sweet little table scape.
The darling slipcovers, sewn by the Sewing Queen or northern Nevada herself (Yes, she designed her own pattern!) were kept neutral, so they'll always go with any party color.
And the party hats were custom made by the other Tracey and me..Complete with a tall tower of party presents as a center piece, who wouldn't love this adorable party display? (Don'tcha love the different colored ribbon ties on the balloons?)
The Cotillion was a success and I did take some pictures, but the sun was so bright when I took them, (And we had record breaking heat last Saturday!) that only two of my outdoor shots came out...which is why I am sharing the inside of 41 Taylor shots with you today.
It was wonderful to meet so many bloggers and great people from the biggest little city and those that came all the way in from out of town!
Wow, is that cute!
Glad to hear the cotillion was a success. May you book many events from the effort! I know if I was local, I would be telling everyone I know about the place. Everything you and the other Tracy do is so polished and wonderful.
Congrats!

Oh Tracey! Everything has looked so lovely! I have a 9th birthday party for b/g twins coming up next month and really wish I lived closer to you (instead of several states away!) so I could book 41 Taylor! I adore what you have done with the place and all of your different party-scapes are amazing!

Absolutely Awesome! What fun for a little girl! Thanks for the inspiration. :)

How adorable! If I lived closer and had a little girl, I'd love to have a tea party at 41 Taylor!!!

How beautiful!
I have a story for you. my husband was bringing a few things to goodwill the other day and he was driving off, and I don't know, but--- I had a "Tracey moment" I made him stop and take the coffee table out of the back of the truck.......I had him take the legs off, I don't know when but I plan to do something with that beautiful oval shaped beveled piece of wood!! ha ha---it is sorta the shape of your sign for 41 taylor!!!!--He asked what was I going to do with it...I have no idea, but I just had to keep it.

So sweet! Makes me wish for a little girl all over again! (My little girl is 24!!) And guess what? I have that SAME 3 tier plant stand! I found it at the flea market this spring for $2.00! It tickled me and then I see you have one....well, that seals it - I have good taste! :-) So glad things are working out well for you!!

I really enjoyed this post...esp. the bear and slipcovers!

Chickie and I had so much fun...went home with a few treasures and great ideas. Nice to finally be able to meet in person!
Posted by: Teri | August 24, 2009 at 09:29 AM
We found lots of treasures -when is the next Cotillion?
Posted by: Michele | August 24, 2009 at 09:31 AM
adorable! what a great little tea party!

It's beautiful! Princess perfect!

Absolutely beautiful! I hope the darling party setup will bring lots of parties your way.
Just a grammatical reminder, if I may. That would be "made by the other Tracey and me"---object of a preposition. That happens to be a pet peeve of mine, not picking on you or anything! I really admire your ambition and am a huge fan of yours.

Tracey, Tracey, Tracey....
I'll miss your blog when you have your own show on HGTV, but I promise I will watch.
And, if they don't call you soon.....shame on them.
Only, remember, Oprah, Dr. Phil, and Rachel Ray kept control of their production companies...play it smart girl!
I can see it now....The Advertures of Tracey and Tracy Too! or....2 "T's" for the price of 1.
May we all have some fantasy fun naming your show?

That table is just too darn CUTE!!! Those slipcovers are adorable! The sewing queen has been busy! I can't even imagine making all of those! I'm so glad to hear it all went well on Saturday!
Posted by: Cindy~My Romantic Home | August 24, 2009 at 04:43 PM
Yes..HGTV..that channel does not have one show on it I watch anymore. I'd love to watch you! Your style is amazing.

So perfect! I want my own Sewing Queen! How did you fashion the tiny table? Everything is so FAB! I'm wondering what you used to froufrou the tops of the party hats. Everything looks so amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Blessings!

Yep, just about died when I saw this- LOVE IT!! Those slipcovers are to die for. Curious- what's lurking underneath? Great job, I wish I was a little girl again :)

Totally ADORABLE!!!!!!!!

Tracey, that is too cute. I agree, HGTV needs to sign you on. I seldom watch their shows anymore. (the world isn't all about granite countertops and stainlessSteel appliances)
Posted by: Mecky | August 26, 2009 at 07:11 AM
Everything looks so adorable!

SO CUTE! I wish I lived close to you so I could have an event at 41 Taylor. The hats are adorable, what may I ask did you use on the tops, or could you do a quick tutorial for all of us in blogland? Please!
Posted by: Pia | August 27, 2009 at 06:01 PM
Another wonderful idea of yours! I so wish you great success in this wonderful idea you've created! Wish I could do the same here! Well kinda the same! Oh, you know waht I mean, all cities need such a wonderful place! Lori

Im sad that I dont live in Reno so that my little girl could have her birthday party there!
Posted by: Kim | September 06, 2009 at 07:18 PM
The pink inside of the ears are simply felt (same as for the black lips). Inside, I still added a stripe of long, white fur, to make it look more natural.
