shopping for erika and the bridal shower

We drove to

to find

  and fill this apothecary jar with robin egg blue candy to match Erika’s kitchen.

When Melanie saw the astrobelts

(a favorite from the tuck shop at her school in England)

called sour belts in the US,

she was so nostalgic that the owner gave it to her for free!

Erika’s Bridal Shower

Melanie was the hostess.

I was the photographer, but Rachel sent me this picture.

I especially liked Erika’s ribbon bouquet

that Melanie turned into a hat.
