Miniature Bird's Nests - On Sale At Smith & Hawken

Absolutely ADORABLE set of 4 bird nests on sale for only $11.99 at Smith & Hawken - a great find!

Dreamy Tableware

If money weren't an option, I would have definitely had this cute tableware set from Room Service Home at my Bird's and the Bee's Shower! Heck, I want it just for my home! Wouldn't this be cute for an outdoor picnic or an afternoon tea party in the garden??

Nesting Theme

Recently found a baby shower closely themed to the one I just threw! Hostess with the Mostess wrote an article about Modern Nesting Themed Baby Showers for TheCradle.com. Adorable and very similar to the Bird & Bee's theme I used. I love HWTM's blog - she has so many inspirational ideas for modern party planning.

Baby Cakes....Cupcakes!

For dessert at the shower in lieu of our birds and the bees theme I found more Martha-inspiration! Her Baby Blue-bird Cupcakes. I may make the little birds into just little blue eggs..forgoing the eyes and wings. And maybe intersperse the coconut and icing eggs with chocolate shavings with my blue Jordan Almonds.

Oh Nuts!

For the bird nest favors I am been on the hunt for Jordan Almonds in blue. I have found white and a pastel multi-color pack. So, I have turned to my trusty resource in a pinch - the web! In addition to Jordan's own website (which I found confusing and hard to navigate let alone hard to order off of) I also found a great online resource for candy and nut favors with decent pricing - Oh Nuts!. I was able to order two pounds of my robin's egg blue almonds for $6 but the shipping cost more than the order...$7! Hmm..but I want them and cannot find them anywhere so I went ahead and placed my order!
