Sneak Peek

I know it's Christmas, but I've got a baby shower on the brain.  So, that's what you're going to get today.  We've got all of our Christmas decorations up.  They've been up since the weekend after Thanksgiving.  I'll get to showing you that...after the shower. 

My vintage chicken and egg puzzle is going to make its debut at the shower.  I've had it for a while knowing it had a purpose.  I saw it and had to have it even though my kiddos are much to old for it.  It came naturally aged and distressed {gee am I talking about myself or an old puzzle}.

Onesie cupcakes are ready.  They were fun to make.  A bit tricky, but I think they're so cute.  

I found this set of vintage milk glass snack trays and cups just the other day at my favorite antique shop.  There are 17 trays and 18 cups in all.  I wonder what happened to that 18th tray?  Maybe it was broken at another baby shower in another time.

I get to pull out my wedding china and my pink depression glass bowl for the shower as well.  The bowl was given to me by my husband's Aunt.  My wedding china is Rosemead by Mikasa. I've only used it a few times.  I was ecstatic that it fit the fun vintage feel I'm going for at the shower.

I've got a busy day or two coming up with the shower on Sunday.  Today it's cleaning and making some snacks.  Tomorrow starts with Thing 2's basketball game at 8:00 a.m.  Then a trip to Topeka to pick up the cupcakes, flowers and few last minute things and on home to make an appetizer for the first of several family gatherings for Christmas at 3:00 p.m.  

 It has been so fun planning all of this. I'm really looking forward to sharing the weekend with family and friends and enjoying some good food and laughs. It's these busy times that seem to make time fly, but I'm trying to relax and enjoy the process rather just check off items from my list as I usually do. It's amazing how much more enjoyable entertaining is this way!
