I was lucky to attend a baby shower for a dear friend of mine, and have a few fun ideas to share! I gifted a vintage knit afghan that I'd
had dry cleaned to be ready for baby Elijah. I'm hoping it will bring
peace and comfort to mom and baby during many a long night. Even though
I didn't make it myself, I could see all the love that went into it and
felt it should be passed on and loved again. A little cleaning and
basic spot treatment was all it needed!
This darling fruit bowl was trimmed for the event. The "baby" orange had a pacifier in its mouth, with grapes for the eyes, nose, and ears. The fruit was delicious!
We had a lovely brunch of scones dotted with golden raisins and topped with marmelade, fresh fruit, and a couple different casseroles. Of course I begged for the recipe for the vegetarian casserole, which featured spinach and mushrooms. I couldn't get enough of the casserole or the mimosas! And this was the perfect main dish for the event, as it can be made ahead, leaving the hostess free to enjoy the guests.
