books!

 I helped to give a baby book shower last week. It was the most organized 
event I've ever been a part of, and that is no credit to me. Our recipes were
even emailed to us!  (And the hydrangeas were painted by the florist. Amazing!)
The food looked and tasted delicious. And the books ... sigh ... wishing we
 could have had all of them for our own children.

  2. What an excellent idea for a shower. Books aren't outgrown! Yes, I still love to pick up (most of which I had to memorize) my sons' books that are stowed away still. Such sweet memories.

    Best,
    Bonnie

  3. Books are the greatest gift - that was a really good shower idea. I'm filing that little fruit 'head' away for future use!

    We will be having a few coming up on my husband's side - two sisters in law and a first cousin's wife!

  22. Hi Dotsie,

    This looks like such a great idea for a baby shower! I'm one of those people who think we can never have too many books. :) I still treasure the books our son got as a baby and all through his growing up years. This was a wonderful thing to do for an expectant mother. Your mosaics are so pretty; I especially love the painted hydrangeas. Wow!

    Thanks for your visit and have a wonderful day!
