The Wedding & some blog buddies

Ok, I've got about 24 wedding pics but you don't have to look at them all! Just skim thru admiring the bag & fascinator I've been banging on about for so long (you're all very patient ;)

First, as love is in the air (even the most cynical would love a good wedding!) I made a couple of hearts from the Peacock Fabric enclosing wonderful smelling lavender grown in the south of France by a friend - too wet here ;( .


 did I show you my purse, the one that justified spending so much time on the fascinator & bag that were just for ME?

The day after The Wedding was just lovely, too. The DH noticed a leaflet in the hotel about the Great Dixter garden - you've probably been but I only ever saw it on Gardeners' World & it wasn't even on my radar. So in the morning we spent a happy hour walking around the most beautiful spring garden I've ever seen - sorry, haven't sorted the pics yet, 'cept this one



then in the afternoon my patient DH took me to Brighton to meet two Blog Buddies, Isobel of Threadnoodle & Alison of Fibre Frenzi Alison had a space for her work in one of the Brighton Open House weekends so we met there & then had coffee & cake, of course ;) I've been talking to these girls at our blogs for years so it was amazing to finally meet them.

Isobel back left & Alison right, as you probably know ;) You can see my Wedding Cuff here, it spent it's time at the wedding hiding under my sleeve, tll the evening when it came out for a boogie! So great to meet up & look what Isobel made my day with!


I'm delighted, thank you! Ready for action ;) I was so glad to catch up with Heloise too, giving me a lovely bag of felt to play wit ...(which I haven't photographed yet, sorry)

I can't believe that I had one of the best weddings ever & a chance to meet great blogging friends & go to a wonderful garden all in one weekend. So lucky.

So here are the Photographs, a small taster, honest! Just enjoy, I did.

It was lovely to see you too and to hear first hand about the wedding. Everyone looks so very happy.
This weekend must seem quiet by comparison. Good luck with your upcoming shows.
