Our theme has really come together over the last few weeks which I am so pleased about. We did some more wedding related shopping this weekend. We bought our lovely platinum wedding bands, I went shopping with my matron of honour for her dress and we chose the suits for the men. I’m hoping I can start to relax soon and enjoy the run up to the big day. Not long now - only 54 days!
We’ve been incredibly busy organising our wedding over the last few weeks. We set a date, booked a Church and reception venue, and finally ordered the invites and associated stationery. Who knew that getting married could be so exhausting? Practically every day a decision has to be made. We’ve picked a great theme to hold the day together and we’ve roped in my mum to help us source objects. All will be revealed!
I couldn’t help but play with this, found here.
And finally (bit of a long post for me today!) I’ve found a new swap to make a robot. I really want to join in but just don’t know if I should be committing to anything other than our wedding at the moment.
I was really lucky to win a giveaway that Emily at Ravenhill did recently. She makes the loveliest dolls and I have been reading her blog for a while as it is so cheerful and inspirational. She sent me one of her wonderful dolls called Anne Gry. Emily also enclosed some lovely gift tags and a handmade needle case. I felt truly spoilt opening it, like it was my birthday! Thanks so much Emily, it really cheered me up.
Today it felt like summer had finally arrived in the UK. It’s no joke that we’ve had constant rain, overcast skies, and dismally dreary days so far this year. Luckily we woke to blue skies today, which was just as well as we had been planning on joining a guided walk to the sound mirrors at Denge, Kent.
After the walk we pottered around Dungeness, looking at the miniature railway, cottages made from old railway carriages and lighthouses.
I was really pleased to finally visit Derek Jarman’s cottage, Prospect Cottage.
The garden really is amazing. Beautiful flowers spring up between the shingle and wood, metal and stones have been used to form sculptures amongst the plants in the beach garden.
I received my toadstool from Tiffany today. She made me a lovely toadstool out of recycled fabrics. It was even stuffed with old stuffed animal filling!
