My friend Rachel (not me in third person, she really is a friend named Rachel) seems to pull off Martha projects effortlessly. Rachel planned and beautifully executed a bridal shower for my sister that Martha would have been proud of.
I played a small part in this by making some paper garlands some book stacks and ribbon bunting, but the prize goes to Rachel for the overall feel and look of the party.
Feast your eyes!

perfectly placed in the shade of this
manicured lawn and garden
taking advantage of the blooming
dahlias in season
easy peasy paper garland my sister and I made.
An Anne of Green Gables book was
put to good use....
ribbon bunting also made by me and my sister
thoughtful and dainty favors
book stacks with ribbon tied around them,
25 cents a book and 5 cent ribbon,
classy and inexpensive decorations
we had to have a giant book it being a literary themed
party and all. Gifts of friends favorite books were given
to the bride to be.
as night fell we lit some tea cup
candles that were hand made
You are too kind Rachel! Plus you have way more credit than you are giving yourself! I feel incredibly indebted to everyone who had a hand in this special evening, I couldn't have done it without such a selfless crew! Plus my Mom put months of work into her beautiful yard and garden, even if we sat on the ground and ordered in pizza it would have been a beautiful evening! :)
