December Showers bring April Weddings!

In all the move chaos, I never blogged about my wonderful, beautiful, super fun bridal shower! My mom, sister (Super Duper Matron of Honor) and BMs orchestrated it and it couldn't have been better if I threw it myself! They combined my 2 loves of tea and tulips: The centerpieces were different styles of teapots with floral arrangements and the favors were potted tulips wrapped in green and navy ribbon!

I received sooooo many extremely generous gifts, but more importantly, were the people who drove far and wide. One of my college roomies drove all the way from Boston. She stayed overnight and we had a blast hanging out with my family. My friend Patti, who is basically my 2nd mom in Philly, had her husband (whom I also love dearly) drive her all the way up to the shower! I was truly "showered" with so much love and affection. TheFiance and I are blessed to have an infinite amount of amazing people in our lives who love us deeply. Here's pictures of my girls and I and my 2 moms:

I was overwhelmed at the extremely generous gifts we received, especially considering these hard economic times AND the upcoming holidays! Some of my favs include: ALL of our everyday Impressions glassware and matching pitcher from Crate and Barrel (Thanks Patti!);

All of our All-Clad Pots and Pans (Thanks Mom and Dad!);

the Deep Covered Baker in Cranberry from Pampered Chef;

Lock & Lock food storage (Thanks Gwenn!).

Somehow my mom managed to find me a green and blue bundt pan too! However, my absolute most favorite gift was the quilt HANDMADE by Mom and my sister.

They are both amazing quilters and it came out beautifully! Now, no matter where this adventure leads us, I'll always have a part of my mom and sister with me! Thanks for an amazing day to everyone who came!
