Making Baby Shower Preparations






Today I have had so much fun preparing for a baby shower!  This morning I went to the farmer's market to buy bread and tomato's and spotted gorgeous flowers!  Jodie and I were supposed to go to Costco and buy some, but these were so much better to me!  I bought an assortment of zinnia's (my friend Elaine's happy flower) and a bunch with sunflowers, cosmos, globe amaranth, some purple something and white tuber-rose (it makes the room smell fabulous).  

Jodie came down to arrange the flowers for me.  She is the queen of arranging and loves doing it too. So I was very thankful.  Anyway, she also cut about ten stems of her 'Limelight' hydrangea for the dining table arrangement since I needed something creamy.  They are sublime! 

I also bought a grapevine wreath, decorated it with ivy, blue tulle, and blue ribbon.  Then I glue gunned small travel sizes of baby powder, baby food, baby shampoo, baby spoons, a pacifier and rattle.  I was thrilled with the outcome! I'll try to post some pictures.  It was a busy, crafty and fun day. 

Oh, I also made the corsage out of a pacifier and ribbon!
