Well two years have come and gone since the last Garden Party extravaganza.
That was the 40th wedding do...
and people came from far and wide...it was a great weekend.
...dancing...
...eating...
...and music.
This year we will once again be holding it for Frances House Children's Hospice in Didsbury.
But the format will be the same or nearly the same as the wedding bash..
I have a few little extras up my wide sleeve,
that I hope will add a frisson of excitement to the proceedings!
Well for a start I was inspired to make some more bunting
after seeing the article in this month's Country Living Magazine,
about the allotment owners Jazz Tea Parties each year.
I like creating atmosphere,
but I'm not so great at taking the time to make it perfect.......so I was encouraged to see that they had made their bunting pretty randomly.
Last evening, I cut up lots of bits of the past for the bunting...
sewed them quickly on to a green ribbon...
...trimmed off all of the loose ends...
...and strung it up on the swing to get an idea of the effect....I like it!
So, now I can mark that off the list of "things to be done"!
for Saturday 9th July
at The Potters House Penketh.
