Pinterest Did Not Throw-Up

And the shower turned out great, at least I think it did. My pictures however, are somewhat blurry. I hate when they look clear on the screen, only to load them on to the computer and discover they're all blurry.

I used the extra crib rail from Muffins toddler bed, part of an antique quilt, and a old Ball canning jar here.

I think we set 9 tables with 7 chairs each, and they were just about all filled.

The quilt blocks my MIL gave me, and they worked out well. We just picked the ones we wanted and laid them out.

My collection of green canning jars came in handy, as did my vintage "clamp lid" style ones.

(I know they have another name, but it's escaping me)

My sister picked the wild flowers, and I contributed the some black-eyed Susan's, hostas and herbs.

It looked a little sparse, but once people were seated and had plates on the tables, I was glad we went simple.

Another vintage quilt from my MIL on the gift table, my rocking chair from home, and a crate for flowers and Bethany to set a cup on.

There were quite a few little girls there, so we had baby coloring pages, candy necklaces, and a guessing game for them. We only played one "shower game" : I Smell A Smelly Diaper.

6 different baby foods in 6 diapers and you had to sniff and guess what they were. I'm not a big shower game fan, but this one was kinda fun. My sister put together little gift basket prizes on the left of the table.

This quilt was my grandmas when she was young.

I thought I had a better picture of the food table, but I guess not. Missed the drink table too.

The meal was a huge hit. When people are asking if they can take a plate of leftovers (which there was a ton of. And still is. I tend to over plan.), you know it's good.

We had mint iced tea, ice water,  pineapple lemonade punch, and coffee to drink.

May I highly recommend having a big plate of peanut butter and jelly for children at your next shower or pot -luck? It saves wasted food, let me tell you. We threaded grapes onto skewers, and stuck chocolate chips on for eyes to make "caterpillars", they were really cute.

Yet another vintage quilt from my MIL.

The dessert plates were bigger than the lunch plates. Tells you how we think : )

Desserts were: Blueberry Peach Pie, strawberry and a blueberry refrigerator pie, individual fruit pizza's, Blackberry Jam Cake, Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake, Chocolate Mint Parfait Bars, and (not pictured) Shortbread Truffles

And those are all the pictures I got. My brain started shutting down about the time the guests arrived. I'm recovered (mostly), Bethany is recovered (I think), and it was fun. And I still haven't made her gift
