Brunch at Rosie's

I know you guys, I know. I am not very consistent; and no, blogging is not my full-time job. So I blog as time permits.

So I got back from my 10-day trip to Nigeria 3 days ago. I'll talk about that in a lengthy post.

Yesterday, May 28th, a bridal shower honoring my fab sister Rosie, took place in Chicago. It was a surprise in that she didn't know who was attending nor what was to take place. All she gave us was a theme and a date to work with. She chose Brunch at Tiffany's and I must say, that was a fun theme to recreate. This involved a lot of DIYs, so the only food we actually purchased was the cake. 

We asked our guests to come in black and dazzling jewelry (pearls).

I bought a lot of items from Etsy and Ebay, and with Sade's help, the snacks came out beautifully. (Sade is a family friend and on Rosie's bridal train).

Below are a few photos of the event

Tying those bows was a pain in the butt, but they came out beautifully 

Pretzel, strawberries, & cookies dipped in chocolate & coloring by Sade!

On June 28, I attended a bridal shower for my friend's sister, Moriam. It was very well organized by my friend, Iyabo, who's sister and maid-of-honor to the future bride. This was my first ever bridal shower. Yes! Something always come up when I'm invited to a shower, and this would have been another case, but thankfully a coworker agreed to switch days with me (I work every other weekend).

It was a fun day with lots of laughter-a well-lit room of smiles.
