Mr. Raspberry and I are back from Vermont where I attended my first shower! It was so much fun! I was a little bit nervous as there were a few of his parent’s friends whom I had not met. It’s a little nervewracking to be the center of attention, but it was all so much fun.

All of the guests complained that they didn’t want to play games, but Mr. Raspberry’s mom insisted and came up with two great ones. The first was to guess what ingredient was missing from each of the 15 James Beard recipes that she had printed out for us. It was very funny as a couple of the recipes were old classics (think Yorkshire pudding) that no one had made in years. The second game was to guess what spices were in 10 little glass jars. This was especially funny, as they were very common spices and some of them still puzzled us! Mr. Raspberry’s mom also gave me a box with new bottles of all of the spices from the tasting, which was so cute!

Since we flew up there, we didn’t bring our presents back with us, but there were a couple of things that I had to bring… I love Anthropologie and was so excited to get these perfect pieces from there for hosting parties…
