I just got back from Indiana again, visiting a day with Donna for a wedding shower.
She is in full wedding mode now as two of her children are getting married in the next few months.
Her son Tommy and Amanda in October and her daughter April and Russell in January.
April gave Amanda a shower this past weekend in the little cottage in Donna's beautiful back yard.

And of course Donna's decorating was over the top... |
April and Amanda
We have had a full week as Donna and April were here in Chicago this past week looking for wedding dresses for April.
It was a fun time but after a full week of setting up for
the French Market and then shopping and then the shower, we are all due for some down time,
especially Donna who produced the whole event.
Isn't she adorable!
She did not say "Yes" to any of these dresses.
However she did find one!
But, before all this we had the Horton's French Market
(my last post)
and I did promise pictures of my daughters space and mine.
Jody's space was next to mine in the pergola area, I had the small greenhouse. It was hot, but very fun!

Vintage Living
The theme was the heart of Provence which made me think of
French linens and lavender. My color palette was gray and dusty lavenders. I painted the 4 x 6' panels to represent lace and lavender.
I hung clothes line from pulleys across the room and hung my hand dyed clothing.
I also hung prayer flags across the front of the space to define it

My theme was Paris atelier meets Provence
Hand dyed ribbons
This is getting long again... I might not post often but when I do you
you get your money's worth!
We also did "Make and Takes". A short tutorial and fun craft project to make on the spot. Since my theme was clothes line we made decorated clothes pins with a magnet attached to put on the fridge or metal bulletin board.

Absolutely beautiful! Love all the photos - almost like being there but not as much fun as I couldn't shop ;) You know I love to shop!!!! I hope it was a good show for you and Jody both.

Gobsmacked...that's the only word to describe how I feel right now. Just amazing stuff and the details...oh mylanta!
ReplyDeleteI've been agonizing on how to create a check-out without taking up too much space and yours is brilliant my dear...brilliant!
I'm in love with your paintings. I noticed on Donna's post today and now on yours how much clothes-line poles resemble crosses...washing away our life spills and our sins.
Love you...like you didn't know that and miss you,
Deb
