For Father's Day this year, I wanted to create a simple & tasty dessert table, where I could also showcase a few items that really explained what Father's are about.
I got together with my Grandmother, who found some great antique items that belonged to her father, and grandfather. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Father's Day!
I displayed the Father's Day spread on an antique dresser. I knew that burlap, twine, and Robin's egg blue would be my color scheme.
I custom ordered some fun Daddy & Co. tags from J. At your Service, and attached them to rootbeer bottles.
I designed some tie cupcake toppers {inspired by Amanda's Parties to go} and cupcake wrappers by using a cute paper printable that I found on Pinterest, and linked over to The Hybrid Chick.
I served iced tea inside of an old Mason jar. The chocolate mustache lollipops I made were accompanied by an antique straight razor. An old cigar box worked as a display for some yummy peanut butter bars.
And old football, ball & mit, and boxing gloves {belonging to my Grandfather} helped bring in all the "Father" things I wanted to showcase.
I also displayed an old picture of my Grandfather, as a child, with his pet goat. The lock & chain belonged to my Great-Grandfather - it's from LA transit, where he used to work.
And the antique watch belonged to my Great, Great-Grandfather! I was so excited to celebrate Father's Day with treats, antiques, and some very special items belonging to my male family members.
