WILD THINGS - VIP AREAS FOR YOUR SMALLEST GUESTS

Wild Things is a luxury party planning service devoted to your children.  They also hire cool kids corners,  giving your own 'wild things' a space of their own on your wedding day.   



When all the excitement gets too much, Wild Things gives your little ones a place to do some colouring, read a book, play on the iPad or even have a nap.


Wild Things can provide three styles of kids' corners, with various soft furnishings, including teepees, rugs, cushions and beanbags and either a box of books or an iPad with classic Disney movies.   

1.  Snug - fits a snug area!
2.  Cosy - a larger version of the snug with 2 teepees
3.  Vintage - comes with vintage print cushions and a box of vintage childrens' books.

They're perfect for smaller venues, city venues or those with not as much outdoor space. 


Their kids corner packages give the little people their very own VIP area and can include a dance area, a huge dressing up box, toys, are and fun.  Wild Things can even provide entertainers and childcare.


With a background in weddings, fashion and club nights, they also offer a kids party planning service that will make their event a total WOW!  


They can do everything from creative direction, event design and management, decor and product sourcing, supplier sourcing, photo shoot direction and pretty much anything you can think of and can supply party boxes and amazing prop hire!


In fact, if you're not careful you'll be jealous of the kids!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING ...

Today I received my long-awaited book order through the post and it occurred to me that it would be a perfect Christmas present for anyone who loves Bristol Vintage so I thought I'd write a quick post to let you know about it in time for Christmas ordering!


To give you a bit of background, several years ago I read about someone who was putting on a 'market' in her flat in London.  I was intrigued, signed up and that's how I met Kerstin Rodgers, aka Ms Marmite Lover.  I loved her instantly - she is one of those people with a big personality - fun, feisty, bursting with ideas and not afraid to put those ideas into actions.  


At her first market I sold my vintage wares from her bed and shared her bedroom with several fascinating stallholders, including a cocktail bar on her ironing board!  Sadly, she's no longer able to hold the at-home markets, but her last 'night market' will be one of my enduring Bristol Vintage memories - I was based in her gorgeous garden shed-cum-guest room, surrounded by fantastic-smelling food stalls and a piano-accordionist playing Radiohead's 'Creep' with barely a free inch to breathe, the evening was so popular- a surreal, fun and inspiring night to remember!



Kerstin launched the supper club/pop up/underground movement in the UK in 2009 with The Underground Restaurant and her Find A Supper Club website is the major online resource for supper clubs to advertise their dates and locations.


Her first book 'Supper Club: Recipes and notes from the underground restaurant' is one of my favourite recipe books (and, according to my husband I have far too many!) and has proved a really popular gift amongst my friends.  It's also stunningly beautiful, fabulously innovative and the sort of book I like to just sit and read in the evening.


My copy of Ms Marmite Lover's Secret Tea Party arrived this morning and immediately fell open on one of my all time favourite sweet treats - Pasteis de Belem (Portuguese Custard Tarts). I'm ashamed to say that, what was supposed to be a productive afternoon working, has ended up with me salivating over glorious photographs of divine afternoon tea recipes, from the obligatory Marmite Sandwiches, through fabulously simple Olive Oil & Chocolate Crostini, naughty Magic Meringue Mushrooms to the wonderful Outrageous Multi-tiered Raspberry Pavlova as well as teatime cocktails!  Including tips on furnishing and setting the table, making your own cake stands and reading tea leaves, the result is another beautiful, imaginative, inspiring cook book that anyone who loves cooking, baking AND eating will adore!


Right - had better get back to work ... but think I'll just make a Ginger Hot Chocolate to keep me going!
