Simple Strawberry Ice Pop Recipe
            Here’s a sweet idea for a treat to serve at Polly’s surprise party! What You Need -         Strawberries -         Blender -         Sieve -         Ice pop moulds or cups -         Plastic wrap -         Wooden craft sticks -         An adult helper What you do With the help of an adult, put the strawberries into a blender and blend until pureed. Using a wooden spoon, push through sieve into a medium bowl to remove seeds. Pour puree into ice pop moulds and stretch plastic wrap tightly over the top. Push a craft stick through the plastic wrap into each ice pop (the plastic wrap will help the craft sticks to stand up) and then place in freezer. Let freeze overnight and then enjoy!
Victorian Garden Theme
Elwin here with a gorgeous OUTDOOR Rare theme – the only one, actually! It’s the Victorian Garden theme and it’s so special.     I mean, really? Have you ever seen anything so stunning in your life before? I made this garden for none other than Meriwether St. Bernard – Fluffington’s teacup loving aunt. She told me that she wanted a garden that would make the ladies in her book club sit up and take notice. And I think this garden did the trick! My personal favorite pieces are the bird baths, tea table and intricate benches. Of course, I also love the various shrubbery and the variety of trees. Some of the flowers are from the W Shop (don’t tell Meriwether!), and I think they work just perfectly. Actually, any flowers or trees would look wonderful in this gloriously green yard!
Nursery Makeover
Well, as everyone knows, the Rabbit family is expecting a new addition in a couple of months. To prepare for his or her arrival (Hailey says it’s going to be a girl…but I think it’s definitely a boy), we decorated the nursery today. Since we’re not sure if it’s a boy or girl, we kept the color palette neutral (and really, does it matter if a girl has a blue room or a boy has a pink room? Anyone can like any color they want!). Here’s what we came up with: I know the little bunny is going to LOVE this calming, gentle space. It’s just perfect for a baby…and when he or she grows up, we can come back and redecorate again!

Roberta’s Bathroom: Before & After
So today Elwin and I got to redo Roberta’s bathroom. It’s not a HUGE space to work with, but I think we definitely made the room feel larger. We had a long talk about what to do with this room, and we actually worked together on a design. The only request Roberta had was “make it super-girly!” Here’s the before: Wow. That wallpaper is just…no. And here’s the after: Roberta absolutely LOVES the new look. Mrs. Rabbit couldn’t believe how much difference a paint color can have – it IS pretty impressive. Elwin and I have never decorated an ENTIRE house before, but we’re really enjoying the challenge. Roberta’s parents told us that they’re going to recommend us to all of their friends – so I guess the Designer Elephants are going to do a booming business!
Polly’s Invitation
Hey everyone! As you might’ve heard, Polly’s birthday is coming up. We’re going to hold a surprise party for her – but the trick is going to be keeping it a secret. I don’t think Polly wants us to make a big deal of her birthday, but c’mon! She’s our friend. I hope she LOVES the party. And forgives us for having it! Here’s the invitation we’re sending out: Neat, huh? It doesn’t look special at all! So if she happens to see any kids reading it, she won’t be suspicious. But on the inside, this is what it looks like: It’s the perfect surprise party invitation!
Plumpy’s Letter to Ruby
Dear Ruby, The bridesmaid dress crisis has been averted! Thankfully, I got a phone call from Persephone this morning and she said that she actually found three beautiful dresses in her backroom. They’re perfect for Nibbles, Tabby and you! She’s going to make a few alterations, but they will most definitely be ready for my wedding. Which is exactly one month from today, by the way! I hope you’re getting excited – I know I am! I’m going to go taste-test some cakes at La Soufflé in a couple of days. I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with chocolate cake with a grassy nibble butter cream, but we’ll have to see what Charles says! Love, Plumpy
