Bud Vase

I've been looking on eBay for bud vases but haven't had much success. The other day I went across the border to mardens out let and found these vodka coolers (not sure how that works?) anyway for just $5.99 I got six. They aren't as pretty as some bud vases I've seen but there not bad.
One idea was to group them all together...



but this time I've opted for a more traditional lay out with each person having their own vase of flowers.

Summer Fest

I know I keep taking ridiculous breaks from blogging but having two have defiantly affected my creative energy, however this weekend I managed to rev the engines and thoroughly enjoyed decking out the garden for our summer fest, I put in three days of work just for the pure pleasure of it and through that it has confirmed to me that my weakness (or maybe strength) is that I absolutely love creating environments for my own and other people pleasure and hosting parties is the most rewarding way of expressing that. For me the party starts with the preparation and I get the same amount of enjoyment from the prep as I do from the party itself.
I've also fallen in love with Bossanova music which we played all evening until the dancing started.
I got the most enjoyment from doing up the chocolate fountain tent. I put fairy lights up and underlite the glass table so as the evening got dark it had a warm glow.
