Too excited for Making Mondays: InStyle Home Press!!

You know those little baby shower cards that I posted about on Friday - I just discovered they were in InStyle Home!!!  As you can probably guess I am very very excited about this!!!   Yay!!  Ok I'll have to hold myself back from more exclamation marks !!  ;)


The magazine had a four page feature about the baby shower my client (Ayse Tolga, who was just wonderful to work with by the way) had.  The baby shower looked gorgeous and I was thrilled that my cards were part of it.


The part about the cards says (in my rough Turkish translation!):
Little Presents -   Tolga explained how she prepared the presents to remember the day by : "...I really liked the illustrations by Verity Heysen Kizek, an Australian artist living in Turkey (http://www.thelightgarden.etsy.com/).  We created them measuring 5x5cm, with a mini elephant figure and my daughter's name on the front and a thank you note on the inside.

And doesn't the table look gorgeous?


Mmm...and those cupcakes!











What a beautiful baby shower!

Congratulations! Are baby showers held after the baby is born in Turkey or is it customary to reveal the sex and name if its known?

Verity said...

Thank you so much Heather! Actually baby showers are not that common here, but are more recently becoming popular. In this case she knew the name and sex of the baby before hand (the baby is due in February)and obviously chose to reveal it! I think it is just depends on the person whether they reveal it or not beforehand.

But that is an interesting question! And I am not really sure of the answer about revealing the sex and name beforehand so if anyone knows what the most common practice is here I would love to know!
