Shower ... take 2

Two bridal showers in one weekend. And five weeks from now we'll have two weddings on the same weekend. Both daughters of good friends, and young friends of mine as well. Both young ladies went with me on mission trips to Romanian orphanages and now they are all grown up. 
The first shower had a fun black and white and yellow theme...and I loved how 
the bride, unknowingly, dressed in black and white. 
And that my gift was also wrapped in black and white. Smile!
Though both showers had a common theme of cucumber sandwiches, fruit and 
OF COURSE cupcakes, the second shower was all about tea! 
Such gorgeous teacups collected from all over the world and a delicious array of hot teas. 
Very cool.  (well yes, hot tea isn't bad at all on a warm day, especially if you are in AC)!
I wish both young women the very best as they venture forth into the wonderful world of married life!
Please visit Mary's Little Red House to see more mosaics!

  1. Showers--for brides or babies--are so much fun. After 30+ years of marriage, I'm ready for a shower myself.

    I love the mixture of tea cups and plates!

    Best,
    Bonnie

  3. Hi Podso
    I haven't been to a shower in ages, interesting to see the two you attended. I like themes so enjoyed the black and white but of course loved the one with tea and cupcakes.

  14. Hello Podso! I discovered your blog from Mary's Mosaic Monday party. I enjoyed your short but very beautiful post. I love the themes for the two bridal party. Though if I were to choose, I love the black and white theme because it's so classic and elegant. I hope we could know each other better by following each others blogs. :)

  15. I have never been to a Bridal Shower as it isn't something we have in the UK!!. Yours look great and the love the black, white and yellow colour scheme.

    Tea ( hot) is meant to be more thirst quenching and as I am sure you know us Brits drink LOTS of it!!!

    Have a great week and enjoy the wedding weekend.

  18. Both look like wonderful bridal showers and it must be nice to know that both young ladies you mentored will soon be married.

  23. For me bridal shower is a very important moment for a bride to be's life. Though, I never been into shower parties even once, yet I am looking forward that it will come to my life soon. Hopefully, God will provide a man for me....
