Thank-you to Susan @

On Saturday, I held a baby shower for my sister. Susie is eight months pregnant with a baby girl! Susie, my only sister, is number 7 child in our family which includes 6 brothers. I'm the oldest child of this large family. We had a beautiful sunny day and a lot of lovely guests .
My new punch bowl purchase at Goodwill for $6.00. I made a frothy green punch.
I used pink and green with my creamy white pitcher for a centerpiece. There is the cute little candy dish Gloria sent me! I was so busy, I forgot to take pic's of the food, but there was plenty.
I loved the cake and so did my Sister.
Susie and I. I was 15 when she was born and quite brother weary by then.
Some of my sister's gal pals who came to celebrate!
My Mother in Law, the quilt lady made her this darling baby quilt. There were so many cute baby girl clothes that she will need to change her daughter's outfit 3 times a day just so she can wear them even once. Thanks for stopping, Cindy

Cindy, what a beautiful shower! I think you and your sister look alike! I have a tablescape post today too, but since I am now private, I cannot post a link. Come and visit!
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet! Another beautiful quilt and what a lovely shower. You and your sister are both beautiful - just glowing! I love the cake with the diaper pins and the whole pink and green combination. Congratulations to both the new mommy and the new aunt. :D Jewel
ReplyDeleteYou and your sister are both so lovely, Cindy! And your sister looks so cute with the baby in her tummy. You, your parents and your brother must have been rejoicing when she came into this world. What a blessing! The cake, your table, the vase and flowers are all so beautiful!...Christine
ReplyDeleteLove the cake; the saying is great! The quilt is lovely and she will get a lot of use out of it. Yeah, we tend to over buy and I children grow out of the cloths before they had a chance to change their cloths. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh everything looks so nice and sweet, perfect for a baby girl, love the quilt! Your sister looks great!
ReplyDeletelooks like a great shower. How exciting for you and you sister to be welcoming this baby!
ReplyDeleteI loved that white pitcher on your table. Your decorations look great and the picture of you two is awesome. Your both beautiful ladies.
Hi Cindy! What fun! And how nice that your sister is expecting! Your table is beautifully decorated! I'm helping to give a shower soon and was eyeing the punch bowls at Goodwill...good idea! Have a great weekend...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun shower!! We are going to post on so many things to do with those punchbowls next week!

Cindy, your sister is so pretty, just like you! ;) I love the way you decorated for her shower, and what you wrote on the cake is adorable! The little festive bunnies on the table and the white pitcher with the flowers were so pretty. Loved it all...and of course, that baby quilt is one she'll cherish forever, I'm sure. Loved it all...and you can tell everyone had a great time by the smiles on their faces. You must be so close to your sister since she's the only one besides you and all those brothers. My family was 2 boys, 4 girls...so, I was on the other end with all the girls. ;) Take care... ~CC Catherine

Cindy what a great party you had. You and your sister look so sweet together. There is nothing more special than having a sister to share the wonderful experience of having a baby. My sister and I had our children 7 months apart. In fact she found out she was pregnant just days before I had my son. Those were some of the best days! That cake is simply precious. I don't think I've seen a cuter one for a baby shower. Your punchbowl is beautiful and I caught a glimpse of the green punch in one of the pics. Maybe you can post the recipe for it someday. Thanks for sharing that wonderful day with us. Hugs to you Auntie!
ReplyDeleteCindy...you are beautiful! I know you are excited waiting for your niece! Happy Tablescape Thursday ~ Susan
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely shower. You certainly do not look 15 years older than your sister. You are both lovely and look so much alike.What a deal you found on that Star of David punch bowl. I paid 50.00 for mine on ebay.love it!

Lucky you, a new baby girl for your family! Does your sister have a name picked out? That was a nice shower! I will have to remember that saying for our next baby shower cake - that's cute! ~ Robyn

ReplyDeleteYou are both just beautiful!
