Tablescape Thursday...It's a Boy!

Welcome to Tablescape Thursday, hosted by our friend

Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.

Please stop by Susan's beautiful blog to see her amazing weekly tablescape, and

also to get your fill of tablescapes galore.

I am immensely enjoying my visit to Colorado Springs with my son and

daughter-in-law and my grandson, Cole. I leave Saturday and tomorrow

will be bittersweet. (I have missed Mr. Grits and my furry babies, too)

But, while I was here - I was able to go to their ultrasound appointment....

It's a Boy!

"Operation Baby Boy Shower!"

We will welcome Garrett Blake Russell into our family the first of November.

If you know nothing about me, I will share with you that when I plan a

party, my "Marine Wife"

attitude and background comes out of me in full force. No battle has ever

been waged with as much precision planning as I put into an event. LOL

Don't you just love these cakes? I found so many beautiful cake ideas online.

Look at these precious cookies. Wouldn't these make beautiful placecards on an all

blue and white tablescape?

I love this idea. A watermelon "Baby Carriage" fruit basket.

(the wheel is falling off. lol)

My problem is going to be that I will be flying in for the shower. So I will be shipping

the party favors, etc. I will hopefully have some ideas from Amanda before

I leave, as to what "theme" or feel she wants.

So, as you can imagine I am excited.

Sorry this wasn't a "tablescape" in the traditional sense...but I will have some

tablescape ideas I will be sharing with you soon. Stay tuned......!

Hugs and Best Wishes....Barb
