Feather her nest vintage inspired baby shower

Several weeks ago I held a baby shower for one of my closest friends Kelsie.  She and her husband will soon be blessed with a baby girl.  For the shower I chose the theme "feather her nest" mostly because I like adore feathers and birds.  You may recall that I took Martha's (Vintage Trifles) class on cake books and I made those little cakes with the birds on top.  If you missed the pictures they are here on my facebook page.  Well I did a few more pretties and here are a few pictures on how it all came together.

Thanks for looking and I look forward to seeing you all at the

Vintage Trifles Studio Play date

I had such a wonderful time today.  My great friend Martha from Vintage Trifles hosted a wonderful play date at her house here in Salem.  In this class she taught us how to create these wonderful paper cakes that are made from recycled books.  I have been looking forward to this class for a whole year!

  Last year if you look back on my blog in February we made these wonderful passports of our past and we had such a blast. After the class was over she had asked us what we would like to do for the next class and we had suggested the cake books.  

For the past month I have been pondering what the theme of my cake would be and then I realized that I have a baby shower coming up that I am planning and these would be 

a wonderful addition to my buffet and also my decor.  

The theme that I am going for with the shower is "Feather her Nest"  

So here is my "Cake":

After the class was finished I was lucky enough to spend some extra time in the studio with Martha and my wonderful friends Betty and Carol.  We had so much fun chatting with a little wine and brownies.  well me being me I just couldn't help myself and started on these adorable buffet markers.  

I will be using these for the food for the shower here is how they turned out:

 I used some salvage wood pieces that I picked up from my "second mom" Lisa from Randall Wood Estates.  I think they just turned out darling!  Oh and for the little bird images I used my favorite blog Graphics Fairy I just copied, pasted, and printed them out in the size that I wanted.

  If you ever get a chance to go to one of these studio classes DO NOT HESITATE!  

They are soooooo fun!  Check out Martha's blog for more info on future classes and pictures of the gals and the cakes that they made there are some really adorable cakes that were made!

Thanks for checking my little project out!

Oh Baby Oh Baby

So for the past week I have been a little absent in the blog world because I have been in my yard soaking up the beautiful weather, getting new bark dust, planting new plants, weeding my garden, cleaning my outdoor furniture and gearing up for a baby shower that I was to host today for one of my best friends.  I was so looking forward to hosting a delightful event in my spruced up backyard...  Well I woke up to RAIN!!!  You Oregonians know you cannot EVER count on a good day of weather here but I had hope.  However I didn't let it get to me and here are some pictures of how it turned out

 I have always wanted to host something with these paper straws.  They are so cute and simplistic but add such a flair.  I got these from Hey Yoyo at www.artfire.com they had the best rates on the straws.

 Super cute vintage baby scale I bought at a local store called Aunt Bee's House.   There aren't a lot of things that have made the list of  Won't Ever Sell with me but this has become one of those items.  I have used and abused this darling thing.
