This spring I can't get enough of Coury's pretty style and ethereal looks as featured on her blog Fancy Treehouse. I'm quite inspired by her interesting color combinations and playful layering. I interviewed Coury by having her plan a dream dinner party; it's a fun way to get know what her style and interests are through how she would celebrate and whom she would invite to come.
What type of party is it?
It's a sweet party to celebrate Spring!
Who's invited?

My husband, our Boston Terrier, 10 more Boston Terriers, my family, my real life friends and blogger friends, Bobby Darin & Sandra Dee, Anne Shirley & Gilbert Blythe, Haylie Mills, Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell, Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy, and a smattering of characters from various Disney films (some animated).
Where does it take place?

Who would get to sit next to you?
Who would get to sit next to you?
I want to share everything with my husband and my sister. We will definitely laugh at all the awkward things that are bound to happen.
What is the theme or what is everyone wearing?
What is the theme or what is everyone wearing?
Everyone is wearing what they feel most comfortable in. I have some characters from the 1800's and some cartoons so..I guess I could make Anne Shirley wear a 60's party dress but I'm not sure she'd be comfortable. I'm wearing this dress and it's the perfect fit.
Is there entertainment?

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band is playing half the night and Bobby Darin will perform standards the other half.

Are there any party favors?
For treats for the guests to take home (including myself), we'll bag up homemade sweet potato chips and the best salted dark chocolate in peach polka dot baggies.
What are the hot topics of the evening?
What are the hot topics of the evening?
Dogs, babies, clothes, music, movies, how beautiful the weather is tonight, and how beautiful life is in general.

Who is the most likely to get drunk and dance on the table?

Who is the last to leave?
The party never ends (so we just eat our take away treats together). :)
