A Beautiful Baby Shower

Yesterday my wonderful friend Rachel (with the help of my mom) hosted a beautiful baby shower for me. It was truly a gorgeous outdoor tea party, much more than I could have imagined. Rachel did a perfect job of transforming her backyard into a soft and simple party oasis. There were garlands of white balloons and beautiful white net curtains, along with lots of lovely treats and goodies prepared by my lovely mother. I am so thankful for all the lovely friends that I have and all of the lovely gifts that I was given. This little baby girl is certainly spoiled already!

Looking into the backyard, doesn't it just look lovely!

I'm so glad we got a group shot together. I've known many of these ladies since I moved to Calgary nearly 5 years ago and we rarely take pictures together!

We had to move indoors because it started to rain a bit. These are my lovely sisters.

A card from all of the ladies who went in oif a beautiful bed set for my little baby N. 

Isn't it gorgeous!

Pardon my ridiculous looking face! The bed sheet is just so adorable!

And the white ruffle bed skirt is to die for!

They also got me a pack of the best ever, Aden + Anais swaddling blankets which I wasn't expecting at all.
So generous of everyone and a gift that I am totally stoked about!

The mystery gift box...

Contained this incredible quilt made by my amazing friend Cassia.
I totally wasn't expecting this and was absolutely in awe of her amazing skills.

This quilt is truly incredible and amazingly matches the dresser in my baby's nursery perfectly.
Every shade of pink is an exact match to the colours we painted the dresser! Incredible!

A very cute card from the lovely Auntie Kathy.

Little baby N got spoiled by Kathy.

Lots of cute clothes.

Kathy also got us this amazing story time book of The Wizard of Oz, with incredible pop ups!

Definitely the coolest pop up book I have ever seen. 

Adorable ruffle skirt, and note the pink one on my lap!


My high school bestie of 15 years was able to fly out for the weekend and celebrate our new little lady with us! It was so nice to see her again and have a short but sweet visit. Thanks for coming Kathy!

Well there you have it a gorgeous baby shower and all the spoils from wonderful friends and family. I am so thankful to everyone who contributed to this special day for me and little miss baby to be. We are certainly excited about welcoming this little girl into the world and now I feel more prepared than ever!
