A Kitchen Shower
The Dotted Poppy Anniversary Sale
For the favors, I saw little bars of bath salts on Pinterest, but since it was a kitchen shower I decided to make vanilla-infused sugar. All you need to do it place 2 vanilla beans (sliced with seeds removed) in a jar of sugar. It takes about two weeks for the flavor to develop. I stirred the sugar every few days too. Then, place in tiny jars (from hobby lobby) and place a tiny cut bean inside to make sure the vanilla continues to add the flavoring!
I really enjoyed making these and hope the guests have found a fun use for it. Personally, I like adding it to my morning coffee.
I created a little He Said, She Said game for guests to do during the time Allyson was opening gifts.
Fatty Sunday’s, the creator of the cutest and most delicious dipped pretzels, was kind enough to provide favors for the guests as well! Secretly I was hoping no one would take them so I could indulge in each flavor myself, but that didn’t happen.
The shower was really fun to prep for and the wonderful company on Saturday made it even better!

Such beautiful decor, I love it!! Those pretzels look so good 🙂
I love the idea of the vanilla sugar! For Valentine’s Day I made some sugar hearts (like sugar cubes) for my coworkers. You mix 1/2 tsp. of water with granulated sugar and press it into little heart candy molds. They were so cute!
Love all the details, especially the kitchenaid flower arrangement! So clever.
What a fun shower!
I remember meeting Allyson at the blogger meet up at Benelux. Would you encourage her to resume blogging? I loved her blog.
I love the little heart ornaments… did you buy those on etsy as well? What a beautiful shower!
Everything is so beautiful Kate!
Could you please (please!) let us know what color paint that is on your walls? Love it!
Oh, this gave me so many great ideas. Even down to the strawberries. I think the flavored sugar was a great idea and loved the little jars! Love the kitchen theme! Great job.

I love the vanilla sugar idea and the way the chocolate covered strawberries were done. Beautiful shower! Pinterest worthy for sure 😉
This is awesome! Love your creativity!!

Kate, this is amazing!! I love everything, especially that stand mixer. Do you know what the color name is? There are two different yellows on the website and I’m not sure which one is correct. I’m getting married in June and I can’t wait to start having showers! This post is so great! Thanks for sharing with us 🙂
