Gifts and More Gifts

I'm grateful to the friends and family who couldn't make it to the shower and mailed gifts to Mia anyway. She saved them to open when I visited so we could share in the excitement. Some funny quirks - she got three books on making cocktails, one Martha Stewart cupcake cookbook (it came in a basket with pans, cooling racks, utensils, etc., very cute) and enough spoons and spatulas to open a cooking school. I was the only one who gave her any kind of lingerie, which was presented in my white, trapunto-quilted Bridal Bag lined in a orchid paisley fabric. She's already used the bag to go to Lisa's to dress and await the limo to take them on their bachelorette NYC fling.
