It showered!!

 Adding the fiesta ware plates finished this off.

 Paige & Thomas

 

This past week and weekend has been devoted to the wedding showers for Paige and Thomas.  Kris and I held one in her home which was intimate and nice.  The little triangle boxes we made and put the bracelets in were a big hit.  Karen took the leftovers to give to those who hadn't been able to attend.  Maurice salad, dessert shots, cupcakes...all turned out yummy.  Everyone had a nice time and Karen coming on Friday to help me was really nice. 

 

 On Sunday Thomas's mom had another shower for local friends and held it in the church room where they first met.  It was nice and a bit different with the couple opening their gifts individually with each guest.  I missed seeing them all  opened, but it was nice to have some special time with them.  I made a couple of little paintings for their kitchen using graphics from my mother's 1946 cookbook and recipes from my 1967 book and painted on them cupcakes based on her graduation cakes which they plan to repeat at the wedding. 

 

These add a little color and memories of family in their kitchen. 

So today back to normal and hopefully planting some flowers.  Allie's graduation party is next and should give me a few projects once they start planning in earnest!!!
