Love Bugs and Bookworms Baby Shower
When Krys Kirkpatrick, founder of Bunnies By The Bay, learned she was going to have another grandchild she was delighted at the thought of throwing a baby shower in her own special way, Hutch Style. She spoke with her daughter and asked what theme they wanted to welcome the baby to, for the shower, and nursery décor, it was important to Krys for her daughter’s vision to come to life.
Krys’ daughter expressed that she wanted the nursery theme to be that of the baby looking out of a window to a delightful garden, filled with whimsical bugs and flowers that spark the imagination and bring a smile to your face. Krys began with sketches of bugs, adorable little fellows, with friendly faces, striped wings, and detailed little bodies. Knowing her grandson, soon to be big brother, also has a love for strawberries, she incorporated darling little berries as well.
Once her ideas started to come to fruition through her sketches, she moved to creating hand-stitched bugs, berries, and other garden creatures. With had drawn art fabrics, vintage details, embroidered facial features, and a whole lot of love, it wasn’t long before the Hutch Garden started to take shape.
When it came time for the shower no detail was left untouched. The kitchen of the Bunnies By the Bay workshop set the perfect scene to make this garden view, Love Bugs and Bookworms, themed baby shower come to life. A vintage crib was decorated in hand-drawn art bedding, and buggy friends. The same fabrics were used to create shear curtains to frame the backdrop of the Fidalgo Bay, and Krys’ own wildflower garden, another of the inspirations behind the nursery and shower theme, and love of all things buggy. Daisy flowers and greenery graced vintage vases on the tables and hung on the walls. And everywhere you looked, you could see a bug, created with love! Vintage books created the perfect perches for these adorable little friends toting little hand-written notes of encouragement and love.
The day of the shower was just as it everyone dreamed it would be. The room was filled with family and friends, and the most delightful of shower creations, that will also be used for the nursery, whispered of the happy thoughts and wishes for a lifetime of happiness for the baby and all those that will play a part in this perfect little beings’ life.
