    Bev! I love all of your work! I am planning on doing a Mardi Gras themed 50th Birthday Gala for ME in January… I love the plumes.. is there a specialty website or location where these can be found or ordered????…. Also the Sax and trumpet.. I LOVE!!!!!.. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated!!!

    1. Hi Iris! I assume you meant to address that to me (Lory)? You can try Papermart for feathers. They have lots of colors. The musical instruments are real and my friend collects them. You might try a vintage market. Good luck with your party and Happy 50th!!

  3. I sent you an email about your center pieces, because I am interested in some of your musical instruments for a party that I am about to have. Please answer.

    1. Hi Elsie! I answered your email, so perhaps it went into your spam folder. I mentioned that the musical instruments were from my friend’s personal collection that she keeps hanging in her living room, but you might try an antique shop or a place that carries vintage props. There’s a place in NY/NJ called Golden Oldies but if you live elsewhere in the country, any vintage market has a shot at carrying similar pieces. Hope that helps!

  4. These are all fantastic! 😀 Love the centerpieces. I like the ones with pink thrown in the mix with the traditional purple, gold, and green

  6. Beautifully done! Thank you for sharing! I’m also hosting a Mardi Gras themed party and you have definitely given me inspiration to create something as magical as you did! Blessings and much success to you!

  7. Hi Lory, I just found your page. I also love your work. I would like to replicate the plumes in a vase. I know it depends on the size of the vase but, could you tell me how many purple ones were used in the tall clear glass vase replica? I am a retired music teacher and I used my instruments to make lamps. Thanks for your help

    1. Thanks so much, Mary! And welcome… 🙂 The way the plumes were done was to add them to flower foam so they would get the height and showy display. Can’t remember how many. Maybe a few dozen? How fun and meaningful that you used instruments to make lamps!!

  8. where did you/your friend get the saxophone?? Please reply! That thing is awesome and I would love to use it for my party! 🙂

    Hello

    Ive been looking for the saxophone. Is there any way i can purchase just the saxophone? I will need about 10 of those. If it is possible to purchase what is the cost?

    Thank you for your time.

    1. In the post I talk about how my friend collects vintage instruments from antique shops. That’s where it came from.

  10. Where did you find the stand for the sax?

  11. Where did you get your supplies from. We have a corporate event in March and our theme is Mardi grass and I needs supplies to create our centerpieces

    1. The instruments are a friend of mine’s that’s she’s collected from antique markets. Everything else came from various online and local shops.

  12. Hello , I’m very interested on the centerpiece for jazz band party inspired , the sax with the flowers ,
    How can I get some of these for my party ? Thank u much

    1. The vintage instruments in my post belong to my friend, as I explain in the post, and she collected them over time from antique shops.
