Monday afternoon I came home from work to find a porta-crib on our porch filled about a third of the way with beanie bears and other random teddy bears (all with tags attached).
There was no note attached. Thinking it was gift from one of our friends I called David and asked if he knew anything about this. He was clueless as well. He called a couple of people and they didn't know either. At this point we have no idea who this thoughtful gift was from...anyone care to step forward? We are suspecting one of our neighbors, but as I stated we really don't know. In any case we are grateful for this and a little unsure of what to do with so many teddy bears. :)
In other news I went shopping with my mom on Friday to look for some decorating ideas for the nursery. We came across some ideas and we did buy some things. We found some really cute 3-D butterflies that you hang on the wall.
On Saturday I spent some time hanging them up along with a picture frame. We also found some baskets to put on the shelves. Amy had given us the green ones back in in the spring for an Easter gift and David and I found the pink ones at Michael's. I'm not sure if I like it or not (I'm just so indecisive).
Here's a closer look at the wall decor. I'm still not sure about the print (okay I'm REALLY indecisive), but it works for now. I really like the look of the butterflies surrounding the frame, but I'm going to continue to keep an eye out for a print...
David and I also went looking for shears for the window and my initial thought was to do a pink color, but we went though three different sets and could not find the right pink. We may have to go with green or white or ...who knows? As you can see my mind is not functioning properly and I just know two months from now I'm going to be asking myself what the big deal was. :)

Have you called Lora? ;)
LOL! No I haven't! :)
Bev says: The butterflys are really nice...great find!
I know who the gift was from!! I found out today. :)
I LOVE the butterflies. I think it would be cute to find a wooden frame with some kind of butterfly theme and put a nice portrait of the baby in it when she gets here. Maybe a footie picture or something?
The baskets are really cute. I like the alternating pink and green. When you have to switch gender, you could just replace the pinks with blues.
I can make curtains if you don't find sheers you like - just say so! We could make matching cushions for the rocker, too. :)
I think you could do all kinds of things with that closet too. Have David put up shelves for extra gear, etc. Buy plastic totes for various clothing sizes that will look good stacked along the back wall. The more you use that space - the more pretty and open you can leave the room. Then, the wicker baskets on her shelves will be just enough for what you use all the time.
Just get what you need for now and think about this stuff post-birthing hormones! :) Remember the candle holders? It'll all fall into place soon.
5 weeks and counting!
