A Very Sui-generis Baby Shower

Hello sweet friends!

While starting this very 'Sui-generis baby shower' post, I got such amazing news from our dearest friend Martha from Teacup Tuesday great tea party she hosts each week; that I won her teacup giveaway! 

I am so excited and happy my teacup collection is growing, thanks a ton to sweet Martha. Wow, I am so ecstatic, I can't thank her enough!

I call this post a "Sui generis Baby Shower" because it is, so unusual that some good friends, cousins and Sils of mine got together to make my dear daughter Alexandra, who is in Miami Florida giving birth to her first child, a little girl...and we are going to Miami in a couple of weeks for the birth of our grandgirl. 

They did a wonderful Baby Shower in her honor, so we send her pics and the beautiful gift they all gave her will be delivered to Alexandra by me.

Ok, here are some pics I am proud to share with you.

 

My best friend hosted the Baby Shower at her house, so she fixed three tables for  five ladies each, as all the goodies were served in each table, plus other delicious dishes too.

Here I am in red with my two dear Sils and the blond is hubby's cousin.

There were three tables like this one, each for five ladies.
My friend's beautiful Noritake china in cobalt blue with gold edges. She owns two sets of complete 12 place settings and serving pieces.

My dear mother in the center, flanked by the hostess's 92 year old mom at your left and one of my dearest friends.

Here I am with my best friend and hostess Myriam at the center and my mother's cousin, Cecilia.
They are giving me the gift I should take in their names to my daughter for her baby Maxima Juliette.

A close up of one of the three table settings. Besides the goodies you see here, they also served as an entrée a delicious shrimp crepe, baby cake and more yummy food like small sandwiches and hand pies, etc.

 

Here I am again with hubby's sister standing up next to me.

Alejandro's sisters, the eldest and youngest.



 

This is the lovely jewelry I will deliver to Alexandra. Pretty gold hoop earrings with diamond chips and a little pendant to match.

 The other tiny earrings are from our daughter Sofia and her family. They're adorable 'pansy's' two tones of blue, in gold too. This type of earrings are a tradition here for baby girls. I know she will wear them in the USA a lot later than little girls would in Latin America... and even in Madrid where they reside most of the time.

Some of my friends sitting in one of my friend Myriam's two sitting areas at her lovely home.

The Baby Cake all in pink was delicious. Noritake cake plates for serving.

My dear Alexandra having a blood test 'just today' the Dr. required in the USA.
She's at Miami's beautiful "Mercy Hospital" where she will give birth in just three weeks more!
I must add that my two daughters, Sofia and Alexandra are both Americans, as I am; therefore her wish was that her daughter Maxima will be born in USA as well.

The card for Maxima Juliette everyone signed and sent good wishes.

Here I am with some friends. My mom and my best friend's mom at your right, chatting away, lol...

Tomorrow October 20th. is my birthday, so I thought I also share my Mil's heirloom Royal Albert lovely Oct. teacup and saucer, as she was also an Oct. girl.

Thank you so much for your sweet and generous comments, you always make my day.

Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

LOVE,
FABBY
