A Garden Party, three days before


The rain makes it difficult to continue getting the garden ready for Sunday's  afternoon celebration with my huddy's family so it's time to see to the table setting.


I'm so excited to finally have enough random pink and green vintage plates to set a place for every one.
It's time to make them all clean and shiny.



The beautiful green dessert dishes from a departed Aunty will be perfect for dessert.



Crisply pressed linens, bows with silverware already tucked in, so simple!


Mason jars with a few crystals for added sparkle double as vases and candle holders.
Every party is better with a little sparkle.


Voila, one eclectic, vintage table setting  ready to go.

Two days before

It's time, I suppose, to plan for foul or fair weather.
The seers say it will be cool and rainy. Better to be prepared for all eventualities.
The City Cottage is tiny while the gardens are ample. Dinner may be quite cozy!
