Celebrating Baby Benicio

Today I went to my dear friend Veronica's co-ed baby shower. Everything was perfect: the weather, the scene, the food and, of course, the amazing group of friends and family who gathered together. Baby Benicio Xavier isn't due to make his debut until early July, but we had a blast celebrating his upcoming appearance. Special thanks to Veronica & Jeff for inviting me to be a part of such a memorable occasion. I can't wait to me the little guy!

I so want a baby just so I can keep it all sunggled up in this adorable Substantially Spotted Superfly Blanket by Vancouver-based Etsy seller Julie (aka Superfly Lullabies). The blanket is 30" x 30" of hand-crafted goodness, and is totally affordable. I especially appreciate Julie's warning to buyers, which reads: "You're going to have to put up with lots of strangers complementing that baby's keen sense of style (or your own keen shopping prowess)."

She's Having a Baby

This letterpress card by Zeichen Press has me busting up! The best part is the card description, which includes this little gem: "She may not laugh, but you will." Brilliant.
