Last Wednesday saw our grandbaby guinea pig arrive for a stay! :-) our youngest son and family have been away for Easter ( sadly not had the best weather! ) Eldest son and family also away in Orlando!
Easter Saturday was the Crafternoon Tea for the bride to be. It all went better than I could have hoped for. It was brilliant that we could sit outside for the tea part.
Everyone had fun and we got all the flowers made, that the Bride wanted for her tables at the Reception.
DH and I had a quiet Easter Sunday. I was pleased with the roast lamb I cooked for a very, very late lunch - well Dinner really!
On Monday we went to local Garden Centre for lunch and to look for a statue for the garden. We went on to a second one that has a lovely lake and fairy walk. We sat and watched all the goings on, including cute ducklings. After a while we walked around the lake looking as the 'fairy homes'
Today I managed to get to the hairdresser for a much needed visit. I had to cancel a fortnight ago when I was unwell. Hair was a right mess. Feel better now and treated myself to a manicure!
On my return I thought I'd best sort out what I am going to make with the ladies at class on Saturday.
So my workspace tonight ( it's Tuesday )
Getting started
The Bride, her mum and a cousin.
This time with the cakes :-)
All done. Gifts for everyone!
All the finished flowers- daisies and kusadama flowers.
The aforementioned lake.

It looks like Easter has been a good one at your house. Looks like a lot of fun and I love the fairy houses especially the crate boxes. I’ve used them myself in the past as display units
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely happy way for a bride to spend an afternoon, such a grand idea Anne! Perfect weather for afternoon tea on the patio too. Aren’t the fairy houses sweet...someone has spent a lot of time on those, what a pleasure to walk round and enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to spend Easter Sunday for the Bride to be, lots of happy smiling faces and lovely creations. Hope the Guinea Pig enjoyed his/her stay over, such a shame about the holiday weather :(
ReplyDeleteLove those Fairy Houses... Happy WoywW Tracey #5

ReplyDeleteI think that's exactly the sort of hen party that I would have! What a lovely way to celebrate with family and friends, the tea looked scrumptious! And I enjoyed seeing the little fairy houses too, how cute were they? I'm glad you're feeling better and enjoyed the haircut and manicure :-)

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, Anne - so full of happiness and fun! I love the idea of a "crafternoon tea" lol! The flowers look amazing, and as for the cakes... well, we won't go there or Shoshi will undo all the good she's done round her waistline over the past months!! It sounds as if you had a lovely Easter. Ours was quiet and I didn't cook anything special.

How absolutely fantastic! Love the flowers you all made - you are a clever lot! The wedding promises to be wonderful judging by the photos you posted - and what a pretty bride.
ReplyDeleteGlad the hair trim and manicure helped brighten you up a bit - surprising how something like that does perk one up.
I take it from your comment on my blog you will be at the Crop - see you there then - now what about those atc's?
Hugs, Neet 18 xx
Glad all went well for bride squad Ann, and that certainly looks like everyone had a grand time and really made some very lovely flowers too.
