From This Day Forward......

'This month we rediscover that it is life's enrichment's rather than the riches of life that bring us true contentment' - Simple abundance: Sarah Ban Breathnach.
A lovely weekend in pictures.....

The shabby show of weather didn't stop our wonderful wedding celebrations this last weekend!
My lovely sister in law had imagined a cream tea on the lawn, before the big day, and asked if I could help out in the vintage china department!
....Could I!
I certainly could and it was nice to give my many tea sets a trip out on such a special occasion.....
although we couldn't brave the terrible June weather, it was wonderful all the same, in doors, with fires on too...
Saturday brought with it excitement and joy and again the rains could not spoil their day!
Cup cake heaven dear readers...
There was a green theme to the wedding!

(Hubbie and me)
It was wonderful to get the posh frocks on and to be together to celebrate....
Especially as the bride had just got her all clear on beating cancer, only weeks before!
Two celebrations in one......

Another celebration too, my wonderful give away from http://ooohbetty.blogspot.co.uk/ arrived safe and sound and I would like to say, has settled in nicely along with bad puss Willow.
Thank you once again you are very kind Mrs Betty!
I think Bad Puss Willow rather stole the show on the last photo, so here is my give away again....
Kittie Polly and wonderful vintage materials and craft goodies...(lucky me)
And on to my give away, thank you for staying here with me, I do seem to have a lot to say today....

The winner of this fab magazine pulled out of my cloche hat by lovely Olivia is....
Well done!
Let me know your address Caroline and I will pop in the post for you!
Wishing every one a week full of happy things!
