With Edith Piaf serenading in the background my lovely ladies recently gathered to “help me pass the time and shorten the wait” complete with oh-so-lovely macarons, chocolate cake, and of course, a never ending supply of pink bubbly.

Ahem, I took the two missing raspberry macaroons… I couldn’t resist. Mr Lightning’s youngest sister made the cupcakes in the background.

While much of the stuff you see in the pictures actually belongs to me, as I’m a collector of cake tiers and other tea goodies, Mama Lightning and her close friend (host of the French soiree) did a spectacular job in making my theme come to life. And yes, the birdcages held their place in the spotlight, too!!

Opening presents… this gift came with a beautiful card from Mama Lightning. If it wasn’t for Edith, I swear you’d hear crickets in the background while I opened each one. I’m pretty sure I was quite the blushing bride at this stage.

And it is no wonder!! Look at some of the lovely gifts my ladies spoiled me with… including 4 pairs of slippers, a garter, wedding day perfume from my wonderful mother, and something for the honeymoon, too!!

What was your favorite gift you received at your shower?
