This time last year, we were in St. Lucia for our honeymoon! When we arrived at the airport, we noticed right away that it resembled the Piton Mountains for which the island is famous.

I had a small family shower and my cousin was asking if there was anything at all she could make. I told her not to worry about it, but she insisted on helping out. So I gave it some thought. I reflected on her yummy chocolate covered cherries and her pecan pralines, and then it hit me. A bride cake!! I had more than my share of Barbie cakes as a child. I must have asked for one nearly every year. I thought it was so cool to have a 3-D cake in the shape of a dress! What better time to have a bride cake if not for my bridal shower? She loved the idea and was thrilled to make it for me, and I think it turned out so cute!

Last year I blogged about the “Our First Christmas” ornament, and today I was poking around looking for “Our First Home” ornament to purchase this year and noticed Waterford’s new OFC ornament for 2007. Super cute.
Crystal Classics is also having a free special signing of the ornamnet (and any other Waterford purchase you make - toasting flutes wink wink). It will be signed By Jim O’Leary, the design director at Waterford!
