a shower for baby Lucy

   
I have a beautiful friend named Chelle. She is truly one of the kindest, most generous people you will ever meet. 

In just a few weeks her newest little one will arrive. A sweet baby girl named Lucy. 

And oh, we just can't wait to meet her! 

  {The invitation to the shower- this photo is from Chelle's blog}

This last weekend our little group of friends (Courtney, Chantel, Amy, Becca, and me) gave Chelle + baby Lucy a shower. So much love went into that afternoon! We all had so much fun planning the whole thing for her! 
  
Our inspirations were the colors in the quilt Chelle is making for Lucy and this sweet birthday party we found online.

  20. That sweet, sweet afternoon and the pictures of it are like something out of a dream...except for the fact that they are thanks to you precious girls, my actual real life. Which makes me pinch myself.
    It still makes me tear up to look at them and think...they love us that much and know me that well. Every single detail was love made visible + overwhelmingly perfect. Thank you, thank you more than I could ever express. xo
