Recently I was invited to a Hawaiian themed baby shower. One
of my best friends was about to become a grandmother for the first time. The
baby is going to be a girl so one of my gifts was our pink Hawaiian baby dress
then I went to a local store and bought the baby some essentials like onesies,
booties, blankets etc…. I just love baby showers! Charles and I are the proud grandparents
of 2 grandchildren the eldest is Ava Rose she just turned 4 years old then we
have our grandson Kaleb who is almost 2 and our third grandson (not yet named)
is due June 13th 2014 and yes it is a Friday the 13th
& my mischevious daughter jokingly says she will name him Jason J
Anyway I digress….so I walked into the shower and saw the
usual things; palm trees, baby is coming banners, blue balloons, grass skirts
surrounding several tables loaded with food and gifts but what caught my eye
was the beautiful purple cake sitting in the middle of the table, it was decorated with white hibiscus and it said “Welcome Baby” but surrounding the cake was a
beautiful icing lei.

It was just an eye-catcher and looked
absolutely stunning in fact she used the lei that I gave her when she visited
me last week. My friend is a baker and she made that cake stand out! I am
trying to get a picture of the actual cake and will post it when I get one. The sample cake should get the message across.
So that is
something others can do if they decide on a Hawaiian themed baby shower. We
sell all sorts of men, women's and children’s Hawaiian clothing and colorful simulated silk leis at our
store located in Downtown Escondido on Grand & Kalmia Street.
I love getting invited to tropical themed parties because I
just have to lock the showroom door and can pick an appropriate outfit from the
store.
I chose to wear our purple Hawaiian women’s shirt and paired it with a
pair of white capris and white sandals. I had a great time and the Mommy to Be
got a lot of much needed items including the first Hawaiian dress for her baby
or should I say her “keiki”.
