Baby Boy Shower Favours

Today I finished making these cute pocket-tissue holders.
I used golden beige silk material with three layers of lace.
I was wondering why they call it baby shower...


In Victorian times they would hide gifts in a parasol,
then when opened it would 'shower' gifts 
 for the bride-to-be.
I hope it was paper money or jewelry... 
These days the mother-to-be also gets showered with gifts.




I just love my new material.
 I will use it to make table-covers, it is too fine and delicate
for a bed-cover.


This baby-pillow is a perfect match!








I hope you have a wonderful week.
xoxo
