Mini Wedding For My Daughter Ellie and Wes

 My daughters may wedding was postponed to August, not realizing that it was

to soon to have a large get together. So her grandmother said why don't we have

a small wedding with just the family and renew your vowels next May with the big

traditional wedding. So as we enter Nini's house, Ellie's grandmother, I had forgotten that

years ago, I had decorated this house for her almost from top to bottom. It is to die for.

  The flowers in the living room that Ellie and Nini arranged surrounded by the curtains that

I had made for her, 138 yards of a Schumacher silk.

The view of the pool as you enter the terrace, it is almost surreal.

My Dad and his Grandson, my son Edmund is on the right.

Trent, Wes's brother and best man, Halsey as the maid of honor and the two babies, Lucy and

Teddy.

What is Happening in August

 This is what I saw when I went out to take a few pictures of my flowers, he is next to the bird feeder.

Now that it is the end of August, my flowers are started to go to seed, but not my Zinnias. This is

when they really start to shine and show their blooms.

I have one last window to do for my client in Richmond. This is a large bathroom window

and we are doing a flat gathered Roman shade in Bunschwig and Fils Les Touche in pink.

We decided to add a ball fringe to the bottom of the shade and I had one on hand that might

work, but I ordered a couple more that will have pink in them. They should arrive soon but

the mail is really slow these days.

I don't know about you but August is flying by.
