Always seeking beauty ~

With blogs, Pinterest, Facebook and so many other internet venues

you can find tons of wonderful websites, blogs and shops

that are filled with beautiful things that you love!!!

I have to share a recent find with you

because I know you will love Gerda too ~

Her blog name is idemakeriet and I have so enjoyed

going through her posts...seeing her gorgeous photographs

and wonderful creations.

If you have a bit of time, be sure to take a look...

you will love her too!!

And the baby shower was just WONDERFUL!!!

My sweet Mother-in-law made homemade chicken salad sandwiches...

and my dear niece Adrian made the most delicious chocolate-covered

strawberries and strawberries with marshmallow cream cheese dip!

Emily was beautiful and such a sweetheart ~

here are a few photos I wanted to share with you....

Below are just the beginnings of the gifts arriving...

Spinach dip and crackers ~

My simple cupcakes!

Adrian's strawberries and my fruit tea...

Precious big sister Clara...looking all grown up to me!!

Yummy chicken salad croissants ~

Aren't the strawberries beautiful???

Clara was so very proud of her doll blanket I made her!

I love my sweet cousin Beth smiling in the background...

Plus I had to give her a little doll cradle, just so she could play "mommy" too ~

Emily opened so many sweet gifts and believe me,

little Murray has a entire wardrobe waiting on him now!!!!

And you have got to look at these precious things!!

My cousin Beth saw the idea on Pinterest and DID IT!

These are receiving blankets all coiled up

with a onesie nestled in the center and pulled up a bit.

Then you put a coffee filter on the bottom,

tie with ribbon and they look like cupcakes!!!

Too sweet...

We all had such a great time and now...we WAIT!!

Our little baby Murray is due September 9th ~

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit...

I hope you have a WONDERFUL week precious friends.

hugs and love,

Dawn
