theresa’s shower

I think I have a case of the “Iwishitwasn’twinteranymores.” So, time to think of something cheery. I just love getting to create baby shower invites and other pretty paper for babies {or, rather, their mommas!}. And it seems spring is when I get the most requests to do so. There is something invigorating about designing for baby showers, especially this time of year. All the newness and freshness and cuteness! This week I’m going to share some baby bliss with you–an homage to all the expectant mommies in our lives–and hopefully welcoming spring very soon!

Below is a picture of an invite I created for a dear friend Theresa. The paper is from Paper Source, and each one was uniquely typed on a typewriter, calligraphied, and hand painted. No two were exactly the same! They went in a leaf colored envelope with curry dot liner {I wish I could find the envelope to show you!}.

Theresa is such a wonderful friend, and her little man is one of my favorite babies to cuddle. I was so happy to create a special invite to celebrate the both of them! {That was going to be the end of the post, but I figured I would give you a little more eye candy than that!} Below is a photo T took of the pièce de résistance from the shower: Ahndea’s brown sugar crusted french toast. Seriously, the best thing I’ve ever eaten. And to the right, some photos of the little Cooper from last month. Isn’t he adorable?!

Babies? Brown sugar? I am feeling much cheerier now. {Hope you are too!} xo, linds
