The Most Beautiful Woodland Baby Shower

Surprise! I'm pregnant! I know, I have been silent for much too long. After I got pregnant I was really sick for months, and after the sickness cleared I was honestly just exhausted. I've barely kept up with work let alone running a blog. I hear pregnancy can do that to ya!

This past weekend my sister threw me the most beautiful shower. So beautiful that I decided I needed to pull myself together and break the silence because this baby shower deserved to be shared with the world! After all it took place at the barn that started it all. The barn that led to the name Barn Birdie- our wedding barn! She let me in on a little bit of the planning because I'm nosy like that but Annie (with the help of my mom, mom-in-law and sister-in-law) is the one who really made the whole thing come together.

I snuck over to the barn early to grab some shots of all the details, and a guy I pretty much consider my uncle, Joe, took some beautiful shots during the shower. My pics aren't too shabby for a camera phone with a good bit of editing but his are the real deal!

Wedding Trend Tuesday: Wooden Box Centerpieces

To me, there is nothing more satisfying than a good old fashioned rustic wedding. I love the mixture of rusty vintage things and beautiful wedding details like flowers and bows. It creates such a nice balance that your wedding can feel both elegant and comfortable.

I received an email last week from Elizabeth Anne Designs saying hey, check out some of our weddings. I'm happy I did- they feature some really gorgeous weddings on their site in addition to so many great sources and ideas including everything from helping you find vendors to teaching you DIY projects. As I perused their wedding gallery I noticed a big trend right now is using wooden boxes and crates for flower centerpieces. I just love the look.

Happy Tuesday!

Happy birthday to me! And turkey day tablescapes!

Today is my birthday!

It has been a great day! Kc took the day off to make me breakfast in bed, take me shopping and then we had the best dinner at Morimoto's restaurant! I highly recommend eating there if you get the chance- it's so cool inside, they're so nice and the food was superb!

On a different note, it's almost Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for my loving husband, my cuddly puppy, and our incredibly kind and giving parents. I am so blessed in my life and like most, there are so many people, things and opportunities that I take for granted.

It's easy to get caught in a same-old same-old rut during the holiday season. Each year, we gather with the same people, typically at the same house and eat the same food. While family traditions are great, don't let traditions spoil your creativity! Here is a way to pair the old with the new.

Try using old books to give height to your centerpieces like this:


Incorporate old family photos into your centerpiece to honor those who are not present. And I just love the pear place cards!



Pull out your family heirlooms! Not everyday feels special enough to use some of the most beautiful and precious things we own.

All of these photos were found at Country Living - check out their website for some great ideas!
Happy Thanksgiving!
