Several friends hosted this shower with me for our friend Katie and her beautiful adopted daughter, Annie Hope. This is the work of some of my very talented friends...bruschetta, Champaign soaked fruit, chocolate covered strawberries and more! I made the key lime tarts, which are my favorite!

Vintage items include the hat stands which hold my childhood bonnet and one new one for Annie Hope. The stroller was an antique my mother acquired and was the center for holding gifts. We also used silver baby cups to hold flowers and toothpicks.
The bear and bunny greeted guest when they arrived! Katie will surely have many tea parties with her precious little girl. What a special day for a special friend and her daughter!
That is a beautiful party in a beautiful home! Congrats to your friend in the adoption of her precious baby girl...I can only imagine it has been a long time coming.
