The Elephant Sprinkle ...


This past weekend I helped co-host a [Surprise] "Sprinkle".  One of my oldest & bestest friends in the whole wide world is about to become a mother for a second time - this time to a little girl [18 months ago she became a mother to a darling little boy].  She & I have been friends since grade school in St. Louis & after a 17 year gap of living in separate cities & states [yet remaining close as sisters!], 3 years ago we wound up in Kansas City together!  This girl needs a girl.  Karah is the queen of pink & ruffles ... so we incorporated some of that into the theme.  I made the 2 garlands ... one with some hot pink & mustard colored elephants [with a ruffly blanket on its back] & the other using paper doilies spelling out the beautiful name of Karah's baby-girl--to-be ... Brynn [I soooo adore that name].  Nicholle, the other host, made these amazing origami elephants [more are in the photo of the drink station].  It was a small little gathering, but big on love for our dear friend.  Can't wait to meet the little lady! :)

It all looked so cute---loved the little doilies on the elephants backs. The origami elephants were awesome---you never quite reached that level of origami did you?

So nice of you & Nicholle to surprise Karah with a "sprinkle". Loved how you incorporated the elephants into the theme with the adorable elephant banner and origami elephants at the drink bar. The food was yummy! Thanks, Rachel & Nicholle; so sweet of you both to do! ~~Kathy
