Raining Pink
A couple weeks ago, Frit and I hostessed a baby shower for Frit’s sister Brenda (but we call her Shmovel). This is her fourth baby so she wasn’t too keen on being thrown a “shower” per say, but it’s been about ten years since her twins were born, and we all adore her, and though she wouldn’t say it, she was definitely in need of baby goods–particularly baby girl goods since she only has boys. SO, the compromise was a “girls lunch” with her mom and sisters. BUT, as we all know … I kind of get carried away with party planning aaaand the “girls lunch” ended up looking, feeling, and tasting a whole lot more like a “baby shower” than a “girls lunch.”
I tried. I really tried to be low key. But … it’s pointless. I just can’t help myself!
Frit made a diaper cake:
I sewed bedding for the crib:
We offered a stunning display of quiche, salads, and goodies:
dipped chocolate-caramel pretzels for favors:
(we actually wrapped them in celophane and tied them with pretty ribbon
but we ate all of them before I could take a picture)
And baked an assortment of cupcakes (of course)! I do love me some cupcakes!
‘Twas a perfect shower. Er…luncheon. Oh who am I kidding?! It was a shower.
Thanks Shmov, for forgiving my inability to keep it simple.
