Oh, Baby!











We showered Beth and her bump (affectionately nicknamed BakerII or Cupcake) with love and affection on August 11.





The venue was Joan and Ed Shankle's gorgeous conservatory in their amazing home in Bolton, MA.



What a beautiful setting and what lovely weather for a summer Sunday morning in New England. The conservatory was adorned with white paper hydrangeas, tin watering cans filled with fresh flowers, lots of burlap and green-ribbon trimmings. Joan, Ed, Beth and I assisted the party planner (AKA, Auntie Ciara Rabbitt.)

Ciara did herself proud with a menu of homemade flatbreads and Caprese Lasagna Rollups.

A carrot cake for dessert was decorated with what we had on hand - Ciara's Creations (a tiny watering can favor complete with a baby carrot seed packet) real tiny baby carrots,wildflowers and a touch of greenery from the garden for carrot tops.
