Sorry, I’ve been out for a while. I’m in Texas and had both of my wedding showers this past weekend. Shower #1 was hosted by Mr. Moonbeam’s aunts over in Houston on Saturday. There were mimosas, very yummy food, cake, lovely guests and lots of gifts.
Momma Moonbeam (below on the right) and I drove in from San Antonio that morning, picked up our family friend, Helen (below on the left), and made our way over to the party (to which I was obviously late).
I always thought that getting married wouldn’t be a big deal (we’d already functioned as a married couple) and that it was all a bit overrated. But after that first shower I’ve changed my tune. Everyone is so excited for the two of you and telling you lovely things, and writing more lovely things in cards. The event gives everyone an excuse to encourage and support you and it’s really great. Living in LA hasn’t given me tons of opportunities to experience this, but this was my first wedding (the November one) related event and I was surprised to see how much these wonderful feelings took over.
And thanks again to the hostesses (Aunt Dayna, Aunt Stephanie, Aunt Debbie and Aunt Sarah). I truly enjoyed it all.
And after all that we went to a fabric store, found our flower girl fabric, had a quick bite with Helen, dropped her off, and then drove back to San Antonio (with rain the whole way) for shower #2.
Thanks to MIL Moonbeam for the pictures.

Miss Moonbeam, you are gorgeous! The short hair looks fabulous on you and brings out your features nicely. You’re gonna be a beautiful bride. I’m glad your shower was nice. And yes, wedding related events do get you excited for the wedding. I know I’m getting giddy the closer the wedding is (1 month!). I’m looking forward to my shower this coming Sunday. I wasn’t giddy about weddings before but now I am.
Congratulations to you!

So glad you had so much fun at your shower! I can’t wait for mine. What fabric store did you go to? I’m in Houston and looking for fabric for some projects.
@stine_white: High Fashion Fabrics in downtown Houston. They have everything and my Mom said there prices were better than other places she’d been shopping.

About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, but after college I moved to Seattle for a couple of years and loved it. Then I followed my beau out here to LA and we're getting settled in. I've been making things since I can remember. I was raised by crafters. I love to sew, draw, paint, build, cook, bake (anything with a tangible end result is fair game). In that same spirit, I've been hosting since I was old enough to cook and set a fancy table. I kind of take after my grandmother, who believes that your morning OJ always tastes better out of the good crystal.
