Showers and Flowers

get out the cello, the ribbon, the pale yellow shreds, the yellow tissue and a whole bunch of white and yellow baby items...and you have your self an awesome basket. when shopping for this baby shower, i found myself picking up all yellow and white things (the baby is a girl)...so i decided to make it the theme of a fun and very useful baby shower gift. i added yellow onesies, yellow baby blanket, yellow and white caps and mittens, yellow baby spoons, yellow baby wash clothes, a teddy bear w/ a yellow ribbon and cute little penguin baby boots. i sat all the gifts on some pale yellow shreds, in a handled basket. then wrestled with some cello and some gorgeous yellow/white faded ribbon and a clip on yellow gerber daisy and VOLIA! baby shower gift complete!

the theme of the baby shower was pink and yellow, with the odd warm weather and some snow, stores started carrying lovely spring flowers. i was able to pick up some blooming daffodils, pink and yellow dutch tulips and some candy pink gerber daisies. we placed the flowers around the house, give the rooms a pop of color. the flowers were all accent with some ribbon of the alternate color to the flowers. in the above picture, we used a white watering can with some floral foam to hold the daisies properly. i then finished the can off with some of the left over ribbon i had from the baby gift.
