Hot Air Balloons

I love hot air balloons! Just the freedom and historicalness about them! I have always wanted to go up in one and finally did recently! Was such a great experience and so relaxing! I love the vintage or retro feel hot air balloons can give and would love to have a bon voyage party using hot air balloons as the theme.. And can so imagine nursery decor themed with them! (mobiles, wallpaper, growth charts..) I love the recycling of using old light globes to make cute ornaments and the many ways to make hot air balloon mobiles, that would also work as garlands. The table centre-pieces are also excellent!

  2. Love all these ideas but would like to know what you used on the light globes. They look fantastic and could be an idea for our craft group to do.
