Hello....anybody there!

Please accept my apologies for my long absence, there are lots of reasons for it but I won't bore you with the details, I am back, and glad to be back.

Yesterday was the day of the Quirky Wedding Fair, an event that I was participating in. It all went swimmingly well and I met lots of lovely brides all very excited about their wedding plans. The event was very well organized, and there was a steady flow of people all the way through the day. I was very pleased with the end result and will be exhibiting there again.

My colours were pale pink, grey and a touch of copper. My stand was simple with a less is more vibe about it. I wanted the flowers to speak for themselves. I had painted a calico backdrop in shell pink with grey lines and copper lettering for Flowers on my Table, the overall effect was very feminine and calm. My flowers were tulips, hyacinths and orchids. The hyacinth scent was totally intoxicating, and was a great talking point.

My two sisters very kindly came to help me out. One took  photos for me, but  I don't have them yet, and promise to let you see them a.s.a.p. I made flower jewellery for us to wear, which was also a very good way to get people talking. Lesley wore a pearl wrist corsage with an orchid and scented geranium leaf. Tracey wore a set of beads made from Hypericum berries, a super variety, slighter larger than normal, that looked like little strawberries. I wore a necklace of individual hyacinth flowers with an orchid pendant. There was lots of live music and recorded music on the different floors of the event and models sporting beautiful gowns, so it was very lively.

I managed to get a quick look around and was very impressed to see the amazing talent that was displayed. How brides could choose between the gorgeous cakes, inventive stationery, wonderful venues, I don't know!

I have a lot of catching up to do with all of you. I can't wait to see what you have been writing about. Much love to you, Linda x
