On Sunday, I really enjoyed attending a baby shower in honor of my friend Alice’s daughter, Jennifer. The shower was lovely–Alice served an elegant brunch in her New York apartment. She also made a watermelon baby carriage, filled with fruit. (That’s not it, above, only because I forgot to bring my camera. But hers was […]
