Kitchen Shower in Huntsville

This weekend my moma's besties threw me a beautiful kitchen shower in Huntsville, AL. Below is a picture of me with all the lovely hostesses (Sonia, Me, Joyce, Sharon, Jan, and Debbie).  Everything was so brightly colored and beautiful and I can't wait to start using all my new kitchen items. 
Note: To see pictures bigger, click on them once.

So pretty with all the cut glass serving ware and the glass plates.

Debbie got my favorite petit fours from Peggy Ann's Bakery in Huntsville, AL. 

Jan arranged the beautiful utensil bouquet with Gerber daisies inside my Target utensil holder. I get to keep the pretty tablecloth too.  I now have the whole black iron set: utensil holder, spoon rest, cookbook holder, napkin holder and trivet in black. 


Sonia made these beautiful white chocolate mints!  Aren't these too cute?  I brought the leftovers home to my fiance and he has already eaten half of these.  Love anything with monograms.


Joyce made these cute little fruit cake bars.  Served on an antique silver plate folding tray. I love these trays but they are hard to find.  I have one as well but mine is desperate need of a re-silverplating.

Sharon made the delicious mexican dip! So colorful.

Butterfinger trifle made by Debbie.  This is my mom's favorite.

Didn't quite take the picture at the right time but this is my favorite punch!  Same punch I made in the halloween post:  Lime Sherbert, Pineapple Juice, and Ginger Ale. I have heard it called Methodist Punch and Funeral Punch.

When people received their invites they were mailed two recipe cards that they were to donate recipes to me on.  I got some really great ones I can't wait to try.

My sister-in-law Laura: she was a great picture taking and gift-writing helper. Love this pic!

Me doing an almost cheesecake pose next to all the pretty presents.  Thanks for the Jessica Simpson shoes Gloria! They were a hit and got lots of compliments.

Me making a silly face( the ohhhh I love my present face, I really did!) but it is the only shot I got of me and my moma (in red).  Look at those three cute pairs of shoes! Jan in black was my unwrapping helper, she is also my awesome wedding coordinator.

I had a wonderful time. Thanks you so much to all the hostesses and guests!

  1. Sweet girl! I'm going to have to start working harder on my mints. That's the second time they have been shot VERY close up. You were such a gracious bride-to-be, we were glad to do it.
