A few instagram photos from this past weekend. We tied some scrap fabric bunting in the mandarin tree for K's pirate party. Silly me- I got busy and completely forgot to take photos until everyone had gone home, but it was fun day. My sister came and helped (thank you Sarah!) and she made a chocolate treasure chest cake which was much admired (and quickly devoured). The only remaining evidence of the party are broken water balloons all over the lawn- what started out as quite a civilised occasion quickly descended into a water fight.
I was very excited to get a new Shabby Apple dress in the letterbox, (they kindly sent me this one) and I have tucked it away for an upcoming family wedding. Lucky me!
And some of Sunday was spent lying in the shade on an old barkcloth quilt, immersed in this book which I was given quite a while ago and just rediscovered on the shelf. It's beautifully written.
I hope you had a happy weekend too.
