Up to date ramblings on..

I have been listing things on Etsy lately, wish I didn't close my first shop there that I had a few years ago now, but never mind!

My Folksy shop will be closing at the end of the month, I could keep it open but I am not allowed to add handstamped notecards anymore or beaded jewellery, they e-mailed me and said that my glass jewellery and needle/wet felted items are fine but if they don't want the rest there is no point.

I am full of cold/flu lurgies at mo and have had a few days off work but have just laid about feeling crap to be perfectly honest.

I still have lots of unfinished projects, so nothing has changed there! lol

My daughters wedding in August was wondeful and everything went so well, Her chosen theme was sunflowers and butterflies, So pleased she loved the cake which I decorated (bought it from M&S) and just tarted it up basicly with sugar paste butterflies,ribbons and bling!

The long cake in the second pic is a M&S cutting bar, my daughter had the figures made but I didn't want them on the wedding cake as I had already made my plans for that with lots of bling etc. and felt they would look out of place, so suggested the cutting bar as a sort of wall that they could sit on, I put two of my sugarpaste butterflies either side and some sparkly silver ribbon and to finish used gorgeous cake miniature bunting that I found on Etsy, the seller (Jooles) was absolutely wonderful and made the bunting to my colour requirements and finished it off with the lovely label, I think it works so well with the little figures! You can see more cake bunting here http://www.etsy.com/shop/SewSweetViolet?ref:=seller_info along with all the other goodies that Jooles makes.

The cars were great, the bride had the Beauford and the bridesmaides and me went in the midnight blue Citroen Traction!

I found this wishing well on eBay and was able to rent it for £25.00 plus decorate it myself, the lady didn't mind at all!

So, I arranged purple butterflies around it and added colour co-ordinating ribbon to the bucket and a big white organza bow, The sunflowers were from my daughters garden.

The brides maides looked gorgeous and the bride was stunning.

This is my youngest daughter on the right and the grooms sister on the left!

The beautiful bride (my eldest daughter)

Infact I think everyone looked fab (I didn't scrub up too badly either!)

(Here I am with hubby!)

and all had a great time even though it rained all day, the the rain didn't spoil a thing, infact I don't think anyone really noticed!
