'So Sweet' Vintage Baby Shower...





(click pictures to enlarge)

For some reason I am in love with all things vintage right now, and baby showers are no exception. I was pleased to find that there are many resources available to help you throw the perfect classic event! YAY!

Thrift stores could be a great place to start as far as tableware like classic drink pitchers and table linens are concerned. Some are in great condition! And most department stores carry lots of 'Shabby Chic' designs and decor that would be fitting here as well.

Search around for vintage baby shower invites and gift-tags for the game prizes.

Light fare would work well for the menu, but make sure to incorporate vintage staples such as petit fours, deviled eggs etc.

Contact your local bakery to see if they can make cookies with edible vintage images on them for favors (see my 'So Very Vintage' post for pics). Not only is this a sweet way to welcome baby, but the blast from the past setting is sure to be a hit with guests!

So Very Vintage...


I am a lover of all things vintage, especially for babies! The little lace-trimmed dresses seemed so sweet. And the bonnets? Absolutely adorable! However, while I do adore gazing nostalgically at these precious pieces, I have to wonder if I would have been able to afford baby clothing back then! Those babies were always dressed so eloquently, even at nap time! I guess my little ones would have been wearing baby bloomers everywhere we went- no top, no shoes...just bloomers, and maybe socks.

Ahhhh- Vintage Nurseries


VINTAGE: pronounced [vin-tij]- adjective; representing the high quality of past times.

When I was a child, I thought that vintage meant drab and boring- "Who would want to decorate an entire room this way?", I'd think to myself. But now that I'm an adult with car notes, wifely duties and crying children, I can truly appreciate the nostalgic decor of these wistful nurseries. Kinda makes me long for the sweet summers of yesterday...
