Selected as Party of the Day on August 7th!
Sock Monkey Baby Shower
ByParty Recap
The mom-to-be was decorating the nursery with sock monkey's so they were the star of this baby shower. I used a brown and red color palette with touches of baby blue. I incorporated polka dots and stripes to keep it playful. I wanted everything to have a vintage feel so I incorporated vintage toys to complete the look.

Hi MH, I found the wrapping paper in the Dollar Spot at Target and the ribbon I bought at Hobby Lobby. I've also seen wrapping paper like that at Hobby Lobby if you can't find it at Target anymore. :)

Hi M H, my parents have had the wagon for a few years and I don't know where it came from. But, I do know you can find them at Toys R Us and online at Amazon.
