What great pictures! Just for the record, Larchmont Village was freezing, and I had a lousy farmer's market. I'd have much rather been in the cozy confines of the baby chower. Meh, I covered bills.

SO....we have a mystery on our hands.

There was a shower gift that went unlabeled. We tried to figure out who it was and no one owned up (read: I yelled at the bustling shower party throng "WHO BROUGHT THIS?" and no one responded). Since Katiesue left early, we assumed it was from her, but she has since stated that it wasn't.

It's a figurine of a cat playing the fiddle, sitting on a tree stump. Twisted wires spell "BABY" and are meant for holding photos or notes.

Mysteeeriooooous.....

That was mine.

Here's hoping NA gets those photos up soon.

When she does you'll get to see the awesome gifts I received. I'm not sure if there's a photo of this one, so I took one to make sure everyone gets to see it.

It's the gag gift.


I'm glad that it was outed here as a gag....perhaps my reaction was more polite than the prankster would have wished. ;) GD and I kept saying to each other, which of our swanky friends would buy such a thing?? Hehe.



Let's wash the taste of that gift out of our mouths with this awesome gift. I'm posting it because it wasn't at the party - we got it in the mail from the lovely Ms. Valentino herself, Snowflake.


Yup - first mouseears. :)

I didn't know you can play a violin with a churro. That must be very handy.

Who was the prankster?

Disneyphile and Kevy Baby made references to it but both of them denied responsibility...I think it may have been one of their spouses, in which case they definitely get an aiding and abetting charge.

The most ironic part is that because I wasn't sure who gave it to us, it has stayed out of the pile of presents we have packed away and is sitting next to me on the couch. I get to look at it every day...

Enjoying the blog, waiting to see pics...so happy to hear how wonderful things are going!!

I love to read how well informed you are!

And I LOVE the first ears!!!

It wasn't Ken.

Both of us did see it prior to it being packaged, however, and agreed, "Damn. That's hideous. It'll be fun to see how long they'll be polite about it in fear of hurting anyone's feelings about its true tackiness." :evil:
