and a lady bug hug
sleep tight my dear
like a bug in a rug."

Sheila, our very own artist friend, made this
beautiful "I Spy" quilt.
Jane, a grandmother of almost two months, shares
her wisdom, as such, with Diana. Casey, the party dog,
lends suport.
It was a wonderful day celebrating a new baby girl who will arrive in mid-July. The participants have watched Emily grow up and look forward to doing the same with her baby. Now we wait!!
I'll share our delicious recipes with you over the next week or so.
Oh how wonderful.. What a wonderful shower... Love the bonnet and the quilt.... I cannot believe how much mother and daughter look alike...wonder if the new baby will look just like them?????
ReplyDeleteYou all did a great job---and the food looked delicious.

ReplyDeleteBonnie, thanks so much for visiting my new blog the other day. I'm quite excited about my new place, and it's wonderful having old friends visit me there.
ReplyDeleteThis baby shower was beautiful. She got some lovely gifts. Now only a few more weeks until the wee one makes her arrival...oh, what a glorious moment that will be! So excited for all of them.
Blessings,

ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone enjoyed this lovely shower.

Congratulations! Love all the pretty butterflies in the cutest of places.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the mother to be! What fun, Bonnie! The quilt is gorgeous and such a treasure. Looking forward to the recipes.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your encouragement both on the blog and Facebook. Honestly thought it would be much more difficult and painful. (Especially at my age; going to the gym for many years is paying off.) Never once took a pill for pain and now it's just some rehab.
What wonderful hand-made gifts and what a joy to see such happy grandmother and mothers-to-be :) Showers are so happy!
