This afternoon Flora, Pearl and I have been having lots of fun at a friend's baby shower. Having not been to one before (and usually being rather stuffy and dismissive of American celebratory fads) I didn't have a clue what to expect. Flora was convinced we were going to actually put a baby in the shower, so we were relieved to find lots of tea, cake and games- including one that the girls found hilarious called 'guess what's in the nappy'.
We came bearing a small gift, that I had frantically stitched up this morning. My friend doesn't know what gender baby she's having, so I went for unisex red, embroidered with a little owl- everyone loves owls, after all!
Sounds like fun, sad I could not have been there! I needed to give this cold a chance to go and did not want to cough all over the cakes!!!
ReplyDeletelove the owl b.t.w
ReplyDeleteAdorable. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOoo . . .it came out great!!
ReplyDeleteoh me! I love owls! You are so talented missy! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful present! I love it; I might have to knock one up for my own baby bump!xx
ReplyDeleteLovely little owl! He's so cute! So, this was your first baby shower. I have to say, showers are always fun. The best part about a shower, be it bridal or baby...is the food. I've been to some pretty big showers in my day. Bascially, it's a lot of chit chat with friends, no men around to eat all the food that we women slaved over, and opening gifts as we all say "oooooh and ahhhh". I never turn down a shower! LOL Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I didn't realised there were bridal showers as well- do brides really need another reason to receive presents? I hope they don't kick off over here too- I struggle to manage fitting in the hen night (which seems to have turned into a whole weekend most of the time these days, wedding and reception!
ReplyDeleteThe baby one was fun though x
sounds fun, never been to one myself but love a good cuppa & cake any day, very sweet little baby vest too,
