Baby Shower Today: February 17, 2013

Janelle was the host for her friend's baby shower today...

I just have to brag on her...

She created a most beautiful setting for celebrating a spring birth of our friend's anticipated baby girl, "Annabelle"

As you will see from the decor the theme was "Vintage birds and twiggy nests"

The decor is so cute and welcoming of spring, that we have decided to leave it up for a while, minus the swooping ribbon for the sake of our taller friends.

Decor nearly complete

Minus the flowers that were added to the tables

Twigs with Newsprint bird cutouts in all the windows

Pussy willow branch in the foreground and eggs nesting in the background

Vintage dresses and Vintage Beatrix Potter books on the mantel

Dining room table with the flowers
Birds' eye view

Decor 

Notice the birds nest on the chandelier

The buffet

Chocolate peanutbutter nests with jellybean eggs in the background
Cadbury Dark Chocolate Eggs
The string of eggs (blown and strung with pearl beads by Janelle) Eggs from our friends backyard "easter layer"

Cadbury White Chocolate Eggs

The lovely gathering

Beautiful people, Beautiful smiles

Janelle and her mom dreamed up and created the cute drinking glasses:
Ace Hardware mini-canning jar with vintage lace and button dressing each.
Finished off with Pink Lemonade with a pink straw

Mommies
Belly Bumping
4 weeks apart

Hostess  and guest of honor opening gifts

A wonderful time of faith, hope, and love shared by all.

1 Thessalonians 1:3
Remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and your labor of love and your steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ

Lovely job, Janelle and all those who helped along the way (Jan and Toni and Nicole and Marty)  :o)
Janelle, I thank you for your enthusiasm and hard work in making an event so special for all to share in the joy and celebration of this new life.  I am a lucky man and forever blessed by you!
