Inspired Monday: Coral

Today I created a treasury list of things that have a coral tone to them. I love the color of peach. It instantly reminds me of my Uncle Bean's peach shakes that he used to make when we were kids. I'm transported back to my youth and can almost taste the wonderful treats (ie creamsicles, peach ice cream) of summer.

Inspired Monday: Baby Shower

I can't hide my excitement about being an aunt! What a cutie!

When I was planning my sister-in-law's baby shower, I turned to Martha Stewart for inspiration. These are some of the great ideas I borrowed from her site:

 In order to pick a theme, I always like to start with something that has color and pattern. For this shower, it was actually the invitations that helped kick-start the planning. The inside of the invitation is from Martha Stewart and it helped me design the outside of the card.

 After choosing the invites, I used the colors to plan the decor. I made the tissue paper flowers and hung them from the patio and tent. The napkins were wrapped with paper doilies and pink ribbons. Each guest brought a baby picture of themself for a baby game. My very talented cousin, Sammy, made the delicious cupcakes and cookies. You can see where I got the inspiration from Martha Stewart's daisy cupcakes above. The tables were decorated with striped runners and coordinating flowers. I wrote each of the guests names on the pink felt leaves and they also served as favors.
