Pink Shower

Holly's having a girl so naturally the shower details were all pink (paired with chocolate brown), all the caregroup ladies have been wanting a tea party for so long that this seemed like the perfect excuse to bring out the teacups! We dressed up the dining room with streamers and hung these cute pink lanterns from the chandelier.

Each lady got to take home a white teacup with a few nice teabags and a bit of chocolate wrapped up in brown organza and finished up with ribbon. We used these at the place settings so they doubled as place cards!

We hung these girly Pom Poms along with streamers and ribbon above the buffet. We snacked on

cucumber, chicken, and gluten-free varieties of tea sandwiches. There were all kinds of Tea as well as scones, tea cookies, fruit, and pink lemonade!

Pink candies were festively displayed in small dishes, some tied with ribbon to create a mini candy-bar and floral arrangements placed in teapots graced the table. I so enjoyed doing a little decor for this girl get-together.

just a little girl

probably when i turned six, my mom held a birthday party for me. we invited friends, i wore a yellow dress with a poppy flower on it and a yellow hat. my friends from school came, one dressed up as a mermaid, another as a hula girl, but my friend david didn’t dress up, he wore blue shorts and a blue striped shirt and a hat. my mom cut swirly shapes out of a magazine, probably it was last year’s JC penny catalog and held a scavenger hunt in the backyard. back in the dining room we decorated brown paper bags with stickers and markers. outside i had a balloon. everyone went home but there was still a swirly magazine cut-out left in the tree by where the hammock used to hang. no one had found it.
