A Peter Rabbit "New Momma Meal"




Hello, little lovelies!  Happy Wednesday…almost Thursday!


Spring is in the air and I loved watching the grey doves flirting on our back fence this morning.  I always look forward to their return.  They usually are to be found out front under our three tall pine trees, but for some reason they were out back.  Maybe, they, too, have had it with Mr. Woodpecker!


It is also that time of year when we start receiving wedding invitations and baby arrival announcements, which I LOVE!!!


Although it is impossible to take every new momma a meal, it is one of my favorite things to do.



Generally speaking, I like to pick out a new theme every year and kinda go with that.  This year, in planning Twinsie’s birthday party, I decided to go with the vintage Peter Rabbit…and decided to adapt it to a new momma meal.  It will be altered according to food allergies and “the wish list” favorites…but it was fun and easy to make and take and to prepare extra for our family.



Leftover curtain fabric, diaper pins, and glass containers were included for a bit of whimsy.


The veggies were made for a birthday party and were fun to include!  A scrap piece of paper with a monogram would also work out perfectly!


I thought I would mimic plant markers for the food labels.


What is a Peter Rabbit meal without a garden salad?  :}


All little bunnies LOVE lemonade with lavender and mint.  It's true!


The food, drinks, plates and silverware were packaged in a KRAFT BOX with the evening menu  attached to the
outside of the box.


The gift for babycakes, the ice cream, and the mini pita breads were tucked inside the gift bag.

Isn't the gift of new life one of life's most wonderful miracles to CELEBRATE!!
