Baby Shower fit for a Princess

* Beware...picture overload*

Last weekend I threw a baby shower for Eryn and her soon-to-be baby girl.
 The inspiration for the baby shower was the invites that looked like this. 
I then found the fabric that matched the invite and used it all over the house with strips and pennants.

The food table was the most fun to do.  After hanging a bunch of the fabric with rope from above, I used some extra fabric to use on the table and decorated the table with homemade chalk boards, old bottle containers, and mason jars.

 The cutest idea (which wasn't mine, but a friends) was to cook the cupcakes in mason jars so that people could still walk around and visit while eating them!

To match the pennant idea, I put fruit in waffle cones (which were also very handy and portable).


 There was a gingerale/champange bar with fresh fruit purees.




This area was set up so that everyone could fill out a self addressed envelope that Eryn could take home.  Makes mailing out the Thank-you's a lot easier!

Water was served in mason jars with these cute straws.



The favors were these cute pink bird soaps inside a gable box on a bed of moss.



There was a onesise station set up where everyone could make the mama and baby a custom onesise with a message on it.




 Now her, and the baby, will have something to see (and wear) to remind her of all her friends at her shower.





It was such a fun shower to throw and I know that Eryn loved it and had a great time.
Now we just have to wait till baby girl Washington shows up!

And a special thanks to Kellie for helping me (and coming up) with all the little details for this shower.  I could not have done this with out you!  I owe you big.

1st Year

The kids first year of Preschool was amazing and I have these ladies to thank.  Miss Diane and Miss Sarah were the kids' teachers and we couldn't have asked for more lovely ladies.  They loved my kids and were so sweet with them, and the kids loved them back.  It will be hard this fall to send them off to a new teacher with a new group of kids.
