Rock-A-Bye Baby Shower

Hello, Dear Friends, I hope you have 

enjoyed this last weekend of summer, 

or autumn, if you live 'down under'. 

We celebrated my youngest son Dustin's birthday

with a 'Seahawk's Sunday' football party at his home

this weekend, and I will share that with you soon. 

Today I would like to share the 'Rock-A-Bye' 

baby shower held for my daughter, Heather, last weekend. 

Come inside and we'll take a peek

before the guests arrive! 

The entry table.....

The invitation and 

envelopes to address for thank-you cards. 

Heather and Eric are decorating their 

baby boy's nursery in a musical theme. 

Eric is an accomplished musician 

and their's is a musical home. 

One of the baby shower games - 

'Guess Heather's Age' in each photo :) 

She was my first child. 

Where does the time go? 

The shower was hosted by Daughter-in-law, Erica

in her lovely home. 

The chair for the guest of honor. 

Pillows I made for the nursery. 

I also made this musical mobile

for our new little 'Rock Star'. <3

The nursery colors are green and blue

with French gray furniture. 

I sewed this mobile in felt, strung 

 from a painted embroidery hoop.

I saw the idea on Pinterest

and made the patterns myself. 

We hung it from my vintage bird cage stand 

just for the shower. 

Sister, Jennie styled the 'Rock Star' table

with baby tee's and diaper cake. 

Of course - Rock Candy! 

Later we set out the cake 

lovingly made by Heather's 

friend, Cheri. 

Father to be, Eric's guitar and case on the gift table. 

Jennie made the banner. 

'45' records with the baby's name, displayed on the mantel. 

Waiting for the guests to arrive.......

Some yummy nibbles. 

Chocolate drizzled popcorn

and veggie cups with buttermilk dressing. 

I made the banner in the nursery colors. 

Sis-in-law, Jen made these delicious skewers - 

cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil

drizzled with balsamic vinegar. 

So good.......

Refreshments. 

Sister, Jennie rushing around. 

This girl knows how to visualize and organize a party! 

Erica's newly remodeled kitchen is so lovely. 

She and my son, Gabe just celebrated their 5th anniversary. 

They completely remodeled their dated 80's style home

and gave us our first grandchild during that time. 

We have had some lovely holidays and celebrations here. 

She shares a laugh while setting out the main 

course, delicious chicken fettuccine. 

The lovely dining area. 

The guest of honor arrives.....

looking at baby photos. 

Opening gifts.....

Baby Gavin is due in early November.

Beautiful rays of late afternoon light. 

It was a lovely, sunny day. 

Cake-maker Cheri also made the baby name blocks

in guitar shapes (on the mantel). 

Loving friends and family :)

It was a wonderful day of love and laughter, 

gathered together to celebrate the beginning of 

a precious new life. 

Thank you for sharing this special time 

with us, Dear Friends! 

xoxo
