A Perfect Pair

What is it when a long awaited baby turns out to be not just one- but two?  A perfect pair!  Neutral hues, burlap, mercury glass, pears, candles, and a few lace accents keep the theme light and just right for both boy and girl.

Queen Bee

 My mom turns 60 this month.  So I'm throwing a "Queen Bee" party for her.  Her sisters are coming in to town to celebrate, and all of the parties and themes really started from this side of the family.  They have been hard at work brainstorming ideas for the menu.  And I just designed the critter cards.  All of the menu items are kickbacks to the theme and what my mom's tastes are now and when she was a child.
