May Showers Bring Brand New Flowers

You have already met my friend and personal Svengali for all things decorative, Barb


Guess what. She's gonna be a grandma! And today I went to a lovely shower and brunch for her daughter, Mandi. 

Festivities were at our friend, Sharon's. Sharon does not need a decorating Svengali. She has the same gene that Barb has. And a Pinterest account. Here was the gorgeous setting for the very tasty brunch.


And here is the bouquet I made for Mandi's nursery.


It came with zinnias...

(that's pink China from the Rand McNally Atlas)





























...and mums (maybe part of the Sahara?)...


and some bright allium...

All thrown together in an an English garden kind of way...


...if English gardens grew inside RDCBs.


Here is Mandi receiving her bouquet (and a chance to check out more of Sharon's decorations)...


...and here she is getting ready to take them home.


What a beautiful mama! Lucky kid!
