Modern House Minimalist Design

  I am excited to introduce to you the newest member of our family - Jamie and Josh's daughter, Everly ("Evie") Penniman Druke! I will share some more photos of her soon, but thought I would at least show you a couple that I took of her at the hospital during the tiny window of time I got to see her before Lola got sick and we got stuck quarantined. =)  I was finally able to take a few more of her the other day at Jamie and Josh's house that I will share once I get them edited, but for now here are just a couple of shots from in the hospital shortly after she arrived. I love her to pieces and am so excited to have another beautiful niece!   Here she is gripping Josh's finger.    I love seeing their matching hospital bands.    I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I'll be back tomorrow!

Here is the other table setup we did for Jamie's shower. (You can see the first table setup in our last blog post here and if you scroll to the bottom of this post you can see how they both looked together in the room.) The focal point for this table was the chalkboard. Jamie's husband, Josh, built this one for me the same way I built the one in our dining room . You can see the tutorial for it here .

Here is the left side of the table: We dipped pretzels into white chocolate that we tinted to a grayish purple color and added some white sprinkles and for the cream cheese frosted cupcakes we added some Little Bo Peep silhouettes (we will be selling those in our shop in the very near future). On the cupcakes on the other side of the cake we added little lamb silhouettes. And here is the right side of the table: In case you hadn't noticed yet, =) I LOVE th

Well, I finally finished going through all the photos from Jamie's baby shower. I took quite a few and even after weeding through them and picking just a small percentage to edit I think it would still be too many pictures for one post so I am going to split it up into two. Today I will show you the smaller table setup and then next I'll show you the larger table setup.  Jamie wanted to do a subtle nursery rhyme theme in her nursery. She's decorating her nursery in a gray and lavender color scheme so we decided to incorporate the same theme for her baby shower. As usual, to help keep costs down, with lots of help from my mom and sisters we tried to make as many things as we could. We will be offering several items in our shop as downloads including the pages to make the banner as well as cutouts and several fun print outs that I will share in the next post. Our biggest splurge by far was the favors. We had little white chocolate mice from Burdick's.  We took a few out
