Thank you thank you thank you to Ali Harper for photographing Jenn and Jason's shower this past Saturday. She captured it perfectly. The evening was hot as all get out, which added to the exotic Moroccan feel. A slight summer breeze made the sarees dance in the setting sunlight. The food, lovingly made, was just as pretty to look at as it was tasty to eat. Courtney's floral arrangements were perfect. Candlelight set a romantic tone as the evening grew dark. There was a stellar selection of wine and beer. Laura made the fans for me and they were so beautiful. Courtney painted the Moroccan "tea glasses" (a real hit of the party). And playing cornhole was a blast. (This was Harleigh's first company event as a "young adult" and she didn't want to leave; you'll see pix of her sprinkled throughout — she looked stunning.)
I so enjoyed doing this shower. I felt like I kicked it up a notch in terms of coming up with a theme and all its decor AND creating a mood. Hope you enjoy . . .
I hope you know that you guys are amazing at putting these things together. As BellaDella said it is absolutely breathtaking! I know they must have truly felt honored. Jackie
"Our house was not unsentient matter — it had a heart and a soul, and eyes to see with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benedictions. We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out in eloquent welcome — and we could not enter it unmoved."- Samuel Clemens
I am probably the most content person you'd ever want to meet. I have a decent job working with people I like, a loving family including a swell Old English Sheepdog, a home where nesting and curling up on slipcovered sofas is required, and a life rich in creative crafting and daydreaming. I someday want a cottage at the beach where my grandchildren can bring sandy feet into the house, wet bathing suits can dry on the front porch and everything we need to get to is a bicycle ride away.

Wow! What a beautiful shower! If I ever have to do a third one, I'm calling you.
