A few friends and I got together yesterday to host a "sprinkle" for our friend. She is about to welcome her second child, her first little girl - so we needed to make sure she had plenty of pink! I got so caught up in mingling with the ladies that I kind of forgot to take pictures of all the little details. So, I will just share a few broad pictures... Happy Sunday Y'all!
I love arranging flowers.... I had so much fun making this arrangement while sitting on the floor in my den watching the opening ceremonies for the Olympics and eating Pizza.
Made for such a fun Friday night
We had a yummy spread of food....
chicken salad in pastry cups, brushetta topped with parmesan, spinach dip, fruit dip with apples and strawberries, a fab chocolate chip dip. monogrammed onesie cookies, cupcakes, and no baby shower is complete without pigs-n-blankets!
My grandmother's silver came in handy Saturday.
I love having a party and using silver, silverware, and china
I even enjoy polishing it ( I know, crazy)
I set the drinks up in the kitchen (mostly because I ran out of room in the dining room)
to have the guests flow from room to room without all being crowded in just one.
This isn't the best angle...
We had pink lemonade, water with lemon, water with raspberries, and a cooler of
sprite and diet coke.
I used my grandmother's Waterford crystal vase for the pink roses and the silver tray
holds pink stripe straws (they were a hit)! I got these last minute from Michael's
but you can find them all over Etsy
I wish I would have taken another picture after all of the gifts arrived.
This was early in the day!
Nicole opening the presents
She is such a beautiful mom-to-be & oh-so-sweet!
My pomeranian, Baxley, was trying to help Aimee put the trash away
It was such a fun day. I love having little gatherings at my home. I just need to remind myself to take more pictures of the little details around the party. I had pretty pink bows in the topiaries at the front door and a large pink bow with balloons tied into to it on the mailbox. The mom-to-be took the bows before I remembered to snap a photo. Now, I just need another friend to have a baby or get married so I can do this over again!!
