Project Details
well, I wanted all of the food to have purple in it, so I made purple mashed potatoes, veggie shots (i colored the ranch dressing on the bottom purple) and had eggplant, purple carrots, peppers, squash, aparagus and cucumbers inside. I had chocolate rasberry wafer bites that I put little "n's" on for the mommys last name, I had rosemary cheese bites, that i had an olive on, which helped tie it in, grapes with a blackberry cream dipping sauce. I hung different shades of purple paper pom poms from the ceiling along with a purple bird cage that will later go in the nursery. On a mirror I made a "T" for Talia and hung different shades and sized ribbons behind it in place of streamers. We made purple passiontini's that were for everyone (grape juice for the mommy-2-be) that was rimmed with purple sugar and topped with a heart icecube. Chocolate cupcakes that had purple icing and butterschotch pudding on the inside (SO YUMMY!)
Favorite Items
the veggie shots! once you get passed the purple dressing :)
Advice
know the theme you are going for early and collect early on. I got a wiltons purple icing dye from walmart after easter for 50 cents on clearence and I used it for quite a lot of things!

yep! would love to post'em too, but for some reason project nursery takes like an hour to "maybe" load a picture! Took me three days to upload my alice in wonderland shower, but I will keep trying! :)

Do you have photos of the other shower details? Like the decor perhaps? It would be nice to see how you incorporated purple into the decor.
