<p>If you have not heard of <a href="http://www.abbyscloset.org/">Abby&#8217;s Closet</a>, it is time you get to know more about this great non-profit, who happens to be based in our backyard, Portland Or.</p>
<p>The idea started with a pink prom dress. When Abby Egland was cleaning out her closet before starting college, she wondered how she could best pass along the pretty pink dress that she had worn to her Prom. Her mom, Sally, had a great idea: why not start a volunteer group that collects formal dresses, and then give them away each spring to high school women who needed them for their prom? This was the start of Abby’s Closet in 2004.</p>
<p>For this years  &#8220;May Day Tea&#8221; and silent auction, Abby&#8217;s Closet used 6&#8243; black blumeboxes as the centerpieces which doubled as table numbers. We love how they incorporated the pink and black color theme into the centerpiece with decorative paper and ribbon.</p>

<p>Showcased here are our new blank <a href="http://www.blumebox.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=blumebox&amp;Product_Code=300312">scalloped cards</a> that can be personalized for just about any celebration. In this instance, the card is layered on top of our printed ribbon and used to call out the table number. What a creative way to make a centerpiece useful all the while eliminating the space for those ugly silver table number holders.</p>

<p>Showering the births of baby girls and boys really does not get any easier with the variety of colors we offer in the blumeboxes.</p>
<p>The inspiration behind this celebration came from a product we have fallen in love with and think is brilliant. The lollipop onesies come in 3 different colors and are just that&#8230;a striped (red, pink or blue) baby onsie wrapped up and packaged like a lollipop!</p>
<p>We love that the centerpiece is useful and becomes a gift for the mom to be! So whether you are throwing a pink, blue or neutral themed baby shower, the lollipop onsies are just what the baby ordered.</p>
