a baby shower for my friend.

A BABY! (ALMOST.)

This past weekend I made the short trek up to Maine for my friend Hannah’s baby shower. It was so nice to get out of the city for awhile, and even nicer still to be celebrating the coming of new life. Hannah and I met our sophomore year in college, became fast friends, and spent the majority of our time together the rest of our young and crazy college days. I feel extra lucky to have stayed such close friends with her as the years pass us by and I am SO glad I was able to be there to celebrate her tiny still-in-the-oven baby Magee. All in all, such a happy day.

Hannah, I am over the moon excited for you. I KNOW you are going to be an absolutely amazing mom. I love you, friend and I can’t even wait to meet him!

{p.s. that knit blanket + sweater/hat/mitten set? H’s mom has got some SURRRIOUS skills. Lessons, please!!}

The baby’s room colors are orange and gray, so I got my gift for Hannah here.

Also, because OF COURSE, books. Lots and lots of books, but my most favorite here.
