Making My House a Home

So, this weekend I had a bridal shower, thrown by my wonderful sister, Kristin--and practically doubled my collection of kitchen and household items for our new little place! Andrew's mom and grandma came into town, some of his aunts and cousins came, lots of my cousins and friends came, and it was great to see everyone. It was weird to have it be all about me...but that makes me happy because it means the wedding really is close!! I am so excited--38 days--and yes, I am counting down now :) Anyway, here are a few great items I got at the shower:


Lovely maple rolling pin. Andrew will use this to make his amazing rolls!
My creamy yellow mixing bowls from my mom. Love them!


All-Clad Measuring cups and spoons. These things mean business.


Our dinner ware! It's so beautiful and chic. Also love it. From Andrew's grandma!

Amazing flatware from Andrew's other grandma

Other favorite gifts included a cute nightgown--not lingerie!--from Kate and Summer, a toy ant from my soon-to-be neices and nephews, cute bathroom towels, a mini croc-pot, some pie pans, and more. So thanks again to everyone that came!
