I am not good with describing fabrics but it definitely had texture, like i said, more fleecy than the cotton type fabric I used for the banner. Hope that helps!

I wrote a post about the details of the party: http://thehvidstens.blogspot.com/2011/05/questions-answered.html<br /><br />The table cloth was my mother in laws, but it was just a basic martha stewart pink table cloth. I have one in white, and they are really nice. I know I used to get them at Kmart when she was featured there.<br /><br />The plates were a collection, yes! I got them at an antique store and they were really cheap. They are perfect for when I have banana bread and a muffin.<br /><br />The cake pops were smaller, i would say around the 3-4" You don't want them too big because they slide off the sticks when dipping (because of being heavy and also because the candy melts are so hot). I listed a site where I watched a tutorial on how to make them in the above link. Hope that helps!<br /><br />Also, since most of the comments got erased after blogger shut down, i don't see them restored, so if your question didn't get answered, just re-ask it!kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352706259556048746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625289797974899548.post-80041543507386029082011-05-16T17:03:20.048-05:002011-05-16T17:03:20.048-05:00I also found you from TomKat.

As for the cakepop sticks. What size are they? 4" or 6"?<br /><br />You are a fabulous, inspired artist. Thank you so much for sharing with us that special day of your daughters.

Did I understand it right that you ordered that or did you make it? I would really love to know how you made the cake bunting. It's one of the cutest ones I've seen!
