You may remember my little sister Ash’s engagement session a few months back. This past Sunday (February 14th) my Mom, sister Angie, and I, threw a shower for our sweet Ashie! 
It was at my house, and I had so much fun (with a touch of stress involved) preparing for it. I really have this secret love of throwing parties…..It’s an illness from my mother.
I was in charge of decor, and my mom and sister Angie were in charge of food. I decided to make most of my decor and use lots of candles. I did buy this paper bird garland on Etsy. I fell head over heels when I saw it.
My most time consuming decoration (yet easy as pie at the same time), were these fabric “pom-poms.” Click HERE for the link to where I found the recipe.
p.s. I love how lady-like my daughter is in that photo below.
We had a great fruit tray, meat and cheese tray, and desserts galore. My mom made blackberry cobbler, apple pie, and her amazing German Chocolate cake, which I think I would get in a fist fight over (and win).
Priya made her “famous” pear tart too. 
OHHH, the food was good.
Our favors were little boxes of Aglamesis’s chocolates. YUM.
We recently redid our kitchen nook (aka schoolroom) with chalk board paint. It fit Ash’s vintage vibe perfectly.
and of course flowers….
My Mom surprised Ashley with a barbershop quartet!! They sang 3 little love diddies and made Ashley feel all good and uncomfortable.
Here’s the gift Brett and I got them….a canvas from their shoot. I almost decided to keep it for ourselves instead.
Their wedding is in 2 weeks!!! And I still have a TON of shopping to do. All 6 of us are in it. I can’t believe it’s almost here. Can’t wait.
