Baby shower pintrest adventures

By
My sister is having a baby in November! Last weekend we had the baby shower. It was out doors and lovely. I used my painted mason jars for the centerpieces, with beautiful sunflowers, wheat and other in season flowers from a local market.I got a lot of the ideas from Pintrest.

I also made a fall sangria I found on Pintrest.

Fall Sangria

It was very popular! Sangria makes you feel like you're drinking something really healthy since is has tons of fruit floating in it. Sounds good to me!

We had bingo ( a baby shower staple), name the baby food- 2 orange, 2 green and 2 beige so the guests couldn't have figured it out based on color, "the price is right" and how big is the baby belly (with the mom to be's permission of course)

For dessert we had de-lish cupcakes! We had cannoli (ang's favorite) and carrot cake (my new favorite) from With Love Bakery. They were amazing! And on the top of each was a hand crafted chocolate! score!

With Love Bakery

It was quite possibly one of the most beautiful days, not too hot/cold/humid.
The results are below.

After some googling about feng shui, I found a great list of door colors on House Beautiful .  I really liked Evening Sky (BM 833).  I researched further and found the meaning of a blue door . Although our door doesn't face south, north or east, I really like the thought of a blue door, especially with our stream and the blue dining room. I think the door will tie it all in together.

We finally finished shopping for fixtures!

By Jen
We ordered most of our fixtures from Lightingdirect.com, but for the exterior ones, we just went down to the local Home Depot.  We decided to get a lamppost outside and the post comes with an outlet (for Christmas Lights or tools) and a sensor that turns the lights on from dusk to dawn.  Hampton Bay Aged Iron Post Lantern Y37031-151 The lights that will frame the front door will be the same style.  I think they're so cute!  We also got outdoor motion lights for the front and regular spots for the back.  No pics of those, because they're your typical spot lights, nothing special. Hampton Bay Aged Iron Wall Lantern Y37029-151 We also received our shipment with the ceiling fan and the closet lights.  The closet lights we got for $8 each!  They have 2 bulbs so they'll give plenty of light.  In order to get them so cheap, we had to be flexible on the color.  They're "Copper Revival" which is actually a little more copper penny colored than...
