Baby Shower

This weekend I helped throw a baby shower for my cousin Brittany.

I was in charge of decorations. Britt is having a little girl, and has decorated her nursery in lavender, pink and green, so that was the color scheme we used.

I especially love the way the beverage and dessert table turned out:

I made lots of tissue paper flowers using these instructions from Martha and decorated the window with a clothesline of onesies. Pink lemonade with lime slices added to the color palette. And the cupcakes from The Cupcake Shoppe in Raleigh spelling out the baby's name -- Brevyn Joy Harrison -- were both beautiful and delicious.

The food table was decorated with a few more pom-poms and a centerpiece of wheatgrass and gerber daisies in galvanized pails. If you know me, you know wheatgrass is my go-to party trick. It couldn't be easier to grow or prettier.

I also made a banner for the mantle:

Britt got lots of sweet gifts and we played some fun games involving toilet paper, baby food and dirty diapers.

Mama doesn't look so sure about that one...

Finally, here's a pic of the hostesses and the mommy-to-be:

And I'll leave you with this fabulous shot. Isn't she radiant??

We love you Britt and can't wait to meet little Brevyn!
