This Boy....

Sebastian, 12 weeks old. How time flies. Enjoying every second of this beautiful boys life. 
So in love. Just had to share. Indulge me!!
These Baby Bundlers are fabulous for those night time nappy changes, 
no fiddly press studs when you're half asleep.

 It's Friday - Yay!
Happy Weekend!

Extra Special Delivery

Sorry for my absence lately, it is due to this little whirligig!
Sebastian Edward
Sebastian decided he wanted to join the party early. 
He had a difficult start, but is a tough little cookie, like his beautiful Mama. 
His Mama & Papa had to deal with more than I and most people in the first few days of their precious baby's life.
But, he is home, looked at in awe and wonderment and filling our hearts with so much love. 

So, this weekend I am away in the Lake District & hope to catch up with my favourite blogs and start to put together some of my own!


Smile everyone - It's Friday - 
Happy weekend!

Sebastian is wearing hat and bootees made by my Sons girlfriend - how cute are they?! X

Baby Shower

Last weekend I organised a Baby Shower for my Daughter. I wanted it to show how very loved and cared about she is as well as celebrating this beautiful Mama to be.

I could have taken more photo's but I was very in the moment :-) 
We chatted, played games (Amazon became my friend!!) and drank blue champagne 
(food colouring - simples!)

The personalised sash was from a company on Amazon....
I just adore this scrumptious, precious baby bump :-)
The local Card Factory was great for ordering balloons at reasonable prices and meant a quick five minute dash in the morning to pick them up!
The display below I came up with whilst wandering in The Range which is where the white wicker heart and coloured tags are from. 
The tags were for people to write their good luck wishes and advice titbits :-) 
It worked really well and looked pretty too......
 
A lovely friend had reams of blue bunting, which I ran through the 
kitchen and study,It looked so pretty. 
So many places to hire bunting on line which is worth doing if you need a lot.
These letters were just cut from card and strung on a stick hanging from a beam.
 I knew there were children coming to the party so ordered this blue elephant 
themed partyware from Amazon.
To make the day easier I had ordered pasties - meat & potato and cheese & onion, 
which were really tasty with a nice glass of white ;-)
Bubbles with added blue food colouring for a toast!
Some beautiful gifts were given, should have heard the "oooohhhssss" & 
"aaaaahhhhhhssss" as they were opened, such sweet happy times to come.
It's all in the eyes....so cute :-)
The muslins below are from Mini Boden, I'm so happy with them, 
they are super size and excellent quality.
These fun cards are brill - to put on the photo of your little one as they achieve all 
important milestones! Love them!
The cake! Oh my, the cake!! I was so proud of this! I asked my best friends daughter to let her imagination run and make a cake, I gave her the elephant theme and this is what she came up with! This is the third cake she has made, at only 16 she definitely has a talent....
 Proud Mama and Mama-to-be :-)
 The all important cake lighting & cutting....
& the making of wishes....
 
Details schmetails....games and invites from Amazon
 These beautiful candles for winners of the games - going to go back for some for moi ;-)
 House looks really bare now - oh well, nearly Ch.....................aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!
Young love! Six weeks until the little man arrives ;-0
 Papa....
 

Thanks so much for dropping by - 
hope you enjoyed sharing a small part of our celebration!

Mexican Bola

I spoke about Mexican Bola's here.
They are more beautiful in the flesh, with a gentle chiming sound.
Tactile. A keepsake.

Traditionally worn by pregnant women in Mexico, the chime is worn low over your growing bump.
 As you go about your day the soft tinkling chimes soothe baby and continue to do so after baby arrives, helping to soothe and calm. Just gorgeous!

I had the opportunity to buy one for someone special....
I also bought this book, which is divine....scenes of Motherhood beautifully captured 
in the photography, the accompanying writing beautiful too.

I would have loved a Mexican Bola when pregnant -
mine would probably be battered now after being worn 22 years!!
How about you?
