The Sweetest Sip and See


A couple weekends ago, I helped with a Sip & See. We had such a sweet time. With this pretty little baby girl being the third in her family, it was fun to have a shower that she could attend!

Originally, we were going to have the party in the garden, but with the rain approaching, we knew we had to find another option. Instead of going inside, I suggested we enjoy the wrap around porch for our festivities. It was such a hit!

We loved being out there, despite the spring rain pouring down. We stayed dry, and still enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere...not to mention the absolutely adorable front porch!

yummy treats for our tea time


If you have a shower or party coming up, why not set it up on your porch?! It gives a definite Southern Living feel to any occasion.

  1. You always create such a beautiful setting for lovely events. I guess that's why you do what you do, huh?

  3. That is simply lovely. I echo AMKReations: I would love a porch...but I'll not covet yours. : ) The careful touches you put on everything made it so beautiful, and I'm sure the mother and baby both felt so special!

  8. Any event on that front porch would be lovely...even an afternoon nap ;) Something about sitting in a rocker and just enjoying an afternoon "doin notin" (except for sippin' some sweet tea ;) is so darn appealing. If I had that porch and that view, I don't think I'd ever get anything done...like being on a permanent vacation...lol Have a wonderful weekend. Fondly, Roberta
