A Lovely May Shower

On May 1st I attended the Bridal Shower for my soon to 

be daughter-in-law Angela.

We drove to Pennsylvania for the event. 

They have a large family and lots of friends so this lovely

little mansion on the grounds of a private school 

was used for the shower!

As I approached the room I started taking

pictures. On the left was a guest book.

As I came in the room,

this grand fireplace caught my attention.

 Of course I loved all the round tables with 

full length tablecloths- which dress things

up nicely.

Each table had it's own centerpiece

made with a cake stand that had desserts

on the top and a ring below with fresh

flowers! 

There was a handmade bar of soap, by a company

from Michigan where I come from as a small

gift for each guest.

I loved that they used real china, glassware

and flatware.  It all added up to a lovely

table setting.  

We were treated to a wonderful buffet

of food with delightful desserts that followed!

 These are pastry shaped swans with a

custard filling in them, and next to the swan

is one of the Peach cookies...they are a cake like

cookie with a custard like filling and a

little piece of mint leaf added to make

them look like real peaches!

I don't know all the names of these desserts,

but they were wonderful.  Some of the

guests made the desserts!

The bride to be and some bridesmaids helping 

her open gifts and keep record.

My son Ryan and Angela!
