AW : Surprise Bridal Shower at work *PIP*

Hey everyone ;) Well today was one fun friday! A month ago my boss told me that she wanted to get me a cake for my wedding - and to celebrate with everyone. I kind of pushed it to the back of mind , not worried about it but told her the gesture was very kind and appreciated. When I went to take my first break at a little after noon I found this waiting for me :




I was surprised for sure ! The table grew after that , but that was the only pic I remembered to take due to a busy day. At lunch people came in and shared their well wishes and congrats and even hummed the wedding theme , it was great. My store manager even told us this funny story about back in the 70's when she worked for JCPenney as just a regular associate how when someone she knew had a bridal shower one of the male associates came in a tuxedo and did a strip dance in their breakroom , LOL. It was alot of fun and seeing such support around me , just made me smile and everyone said I was glowing all day. I know I bitch about my job alot , but it means a great deal to me that people obviously care and hold me in some sort of high regard , it makes everything worth it that I do.

This was the only shower I had and it's more than I could have asked for. Everyone just has been so supportive and kind , I just am in awe of the gifts they blessed us with. Below are some pics of it all unwrapped at home , just had to share. Hope everyone has a great weekend!



All the wonderful gifts together !



Completer Set for Dinnerware



New dinnerware !



Panini Grill ( omg yes!) , Left to right - Lenox picture frame , small wallet size photo album , and another wedding photo frame with wedding rings intertwined and reads "With this ring , I thee wed"



Stoneware serving bowl with wicker basket holder



Paula Deen heavy duty baking sheets ! Score!



A beautiful glass bowl/candy dish in a lovely cranberry red color from Fostoria Glass Company. This piece/mold dates back to the late 1950's. A co worker chose it for me and it is goregous!

    Thanks ladies :) I have to admit the candy dish is my favorite and the person who gave it to me is such a sweet man I work with. He has no kids of his own but has many cousins and nieces and nephews and treats them as his own and myself as well , just an all around awesome generous person.

    Everyone was overly generous and I am trying to decide what to do to thank them all - Going to bake something to bring in a few days before I leave and write thank you notes as well of course. This was more than we could have asked for and feel so grateful , thank you for all the kind words as well :)

    and....OMG 2 WEEKS!!!
