Chelsea's "Friends" Shower!

Nicole and Lindsay (both cousins AND friends) decided to throw Chelsea her "friends" shower. The BEST words I have to describe it are:

MAGICAL & WHIMSICAL

It was amazing! As I drove up around dusk, there was a glow of lights far off amidst the pear orchard and Magic (the horse). As Ashley and I came closer and closer, I could see that there was a large table set up, so that all attending could be in one accord and be part of one conversation.

There were fancy delicatessens along with a tiny cake for each place setting. As the night went on and the sun was setting, we enjoyed the lightening in the distance and the light breeze drifting through the pear trees. It was the most delightful party I've ever been to.

1. Where was the party located? I used to live in Utah and have never seen anything that green.
2. Where did they buy the lights?

This is the most beautiful party I've ever seen.

The orchard is in Nicole's yard in Orem. Amazing huh?!

The lights were borrowed from a friend. Not sure where they bought them. Sorry!

Twinkly lights, wonders and whimsy get me every time! Thanks for reminding me of the magic in Christmas lights outdoors on a summer's evening. It gives me an idea for suppertime today!

I'm glad you posted this link on the Mormon Mommy Blogs Post of the Week. You've piqued my creativity for a dinner date on the patio with my husband.

Cathi,

I didn't personally hang them, but I'm pretty sure they just tied them to the trees.
