Baby Shower Fun!

I had much fun at a baby shower on Saturday!
 
Apologies, my Sunday was filled up with marathon training and DIY, and then I was back to work yesterday, so I am only just posting the pictures of this.
 
The girls who organised it did very well, although they must have spent a small fortune! Buffet, cake, soft drinks, decorations and unlimited prosecco. Glad it was not me :o)
 
What a great day! A great crowd of girls with some right old characters! There was one lady who kept telling everyone about her vagina. Yes, that is right, I said vagina. I'm not a prude by any means, so this did not bother me, but I do think there is a time and a place for these kind of discussions; whilst I am eating my pink and blue cake at a baby shower, ain't it! Got to love the characters, though, they keep everything interesting!

They decorated the place with bunting and cute balloons...
 




 
They got the mum-to-be an AMAZING cake....

 
When you cut inside it was pink AND blue sponge (as she does not know what she is having).
 
 
Prosecco was on tap, along with a brilliant and superbly thought out buffet (all dietry requirements were considered)...so being veggie I had LOTS of options. YUM. Bravo ladies.
 
Then when everyone was leaving we were giving a little favour from the stack below....
 



Inside the favours...
 
 
Jelly babies and a baby powder candle! How cute!
 
Saturday was topped off by Mr Mars and I cashing in a wedding voucher at Arisaig Restaurant in Merchant Square, Glasgow. Fabulous Scottish Food - just amazing! The Crannachan Ice-cream at the end was my favourite. Nothing like some good food and wine to top off an already great day!
 
Total cost of day out - £5 tip at restaurant! Does not get much better than that!

Wedding Gifts!

My husband and I got married a couple of months ago.

And we are still getting gifts!

People are super generous and we got some really cool gifts - so I wanted to dedicate some posts to the gifts we got.

As I understand that we are VERY lucky to have such generous friends with good taste ;)

They came in a lovely bag...


Check out my new bowls!!! Picture does not capture the amazing colours and detail in them!



As we are looking to move/or emigrate abroad I am going to wrap up these pretties and keep them "good" until we are settled.

Bowls are from the store Oliver Bonas (I know this as she told me and they were wrapped in Oliver Bonas paper).

How cute are they? They are actually perfect as when Mr Mars and I have guests round we currently put any snacks out in cereal or noodle bowls...
