The Stork is bringing a York!

Cheesy title, but I figured I'd never get to say that again.  My dear friend, Amy--York (in left hand corner) is 8 months along and I had the privilege of hosting a Baby Sprinkle celebration in her honor.

I particularly enjoy hosting showers because a mom-to-be is going through many emotions in the last trimester and when she is surrounded by people she loves and starts getting items for the new baby that make everything become REAL---she feels loved and ready.   Their new son may look like the cutie big brother below.

 And well of course, I love putting in the little details to make it special.  So proud of my flower arrangement.  It's gorgeous.  It's cheap.  It lasts a long time.  A striking combination of red astromeria and some Misty to contrast the red.  I bought the little water goblets for $.50 each at the thrift store and re-purposed them as vases.

 And they make the people in the picture beautiful.  Just kidding - they already are.

 

Remember the lovely table (which by the way got a lot of blog response, and even a future buyer)--the one recently purchased on Craigslist??  Here it fully used in all its glory.

Amy enjoys breakfast, so we made our theme a Le Madeleine-like brunch with mimosas, homemade scones, and other delectable delights.  A blazing fire is going on in two places on the main floor.

And part of the breakfast theme are the favors (which I forgot to give out--dumbie!) filled with turtle-caramel and chocolate biscottis, a Starbucks coffee-to-go, and some natural raw sugar.  If you are reading this and came to the shower, I will save one for you upon request.  Unless Karina ate yours. :-)

Congrats to the Yorks for this gift and for joining the Bringing Up Boys family! :-) We were so happy we could celebrate this new life.  Can't wait to meet him very soon!!
