    What a beautiful and thoughtful shower. Love the idea of the candles to be lit on her birth. I am going to be a grandmother again this summer, this time a boy, so taking notes of all the details. Just charming!

    Clearly you Southerners not only choose the best baby names, but have the hands down loveliest gardens and prettiest parties around! Happy Second Birthday to the lucky little girl!

    As you probably know we don't traditionally have a baby shower over across the Pond. Judging by this, we're missing something?

    Rosie! just left a comment on your fab wedding. As to showers-they are not my bag-the mother to be feeling the same way - we discussed the what not to do's- especially the ridiculous shower games thing. This is the first one I have given- and probably the last. pgt

    What a charming and thoughtful way to be ushered into this world. I thought it was an elegant, sophisticated yet intimate celebration.

    I do hate to go to any occasion that requires party "games." Yuck!
