A baby shower decor idea that involves thrifted or second-hand baby clothes pinned up on a clothes line with antique-style wooden clothes pins to create a cute, clothing-themed bunting; the clothing would be taken down after the shower and given to the expectant mom; next to a closeup of the bunting idea is a gift table decoration idea, with a light yellow blanket covering the table and a blue heart cut out of old denim pinned to it, decorating the front of the gift table cloth; sitting on top of the table are various wrapped and bagged baby shower gifts, along with a basket full of greeting cards and a ceramic jug full of flowers; nearby is a chair with a light yellow and blue striped pillow and a plush elephant toy sitting on it.
