Anne of Green Gables Themed Birthday

I've been searching for crafts about the internet relating to Anne.  I stumbled across By Hand With Heart, a knitting blog.  The author, Mary Gildersleeve, hosted an Anne themed birthday party for her daughter's thirteenth birthday.  It was toooooo cute!

I love the little bottles with straw hats and red braids.  The baskets are an adorable touch, as well, and in the right place shouldn't cost much.  It's an adorable AND cost effective birthday theme.  And unlike a Justin Bieber birthday party, you wouldn't look back at the pictures and be embarrassed.  Anne is classy and timeless.

They baked food mentioned in the books, painted small birdhouses (seen unpainted in the baskets), made cards, journals, and book marks.

Occasionally, Target's dollar section and the Dollar Tree sell copies of Anne of Green Gables for a dollar.  If you're doing a smallish party, a copy of the book would slip in a basket nicely.
