Royal Wedding

I guess by now some of you know that this Friday is the Royal Wedding and most of the country has been given the day off :) 

I personally want to thank them for deciding to get married if only for the day off ;) A lot of people over here are trying to pretend that it is not that big a deal but in reality lots of people are quite happy & excited. I am one of the happy people.  I'd say this is one the nicest things that has happened since the big recession.  Everywhere you go there are flags & pictures of Catherine & Prince William.  Various merchandise items & dinner parties.  Hubby & I are hoping to go to my mum's to watch it. We are planning a "British Style Afternoon Tea", so there will be tea, scones with cream & jam & little sandwiches & a little drink so we can toast the couple.  I have been taking photos everywhere to share with you all. 

Hope you enjoy the photos.

I wish both Catherine & Prince William a happy, healthy & long life together.

Lily,

Happy Easter

My in-laws are are coming to stay with us over the Easter holidays and I decided to give the house a festive look. Although I didn't need any excuses really ;) The weather has been gorgeous lately so we're planning a BBQ and a roast dinner since we are having a long weekend.

I made a wreath and put a few Easter ornaments and snow globes around the house.  So thought I'll share the photos with you.

Hope you all have a very lovely Easter however you spent it & enjoy whatever you have given up for lent. Do you have any particular Easter traditions?

Happy Easter,

Lily

I used a foam wreath rather than a twig one. I found the twig wreath to be a little difficult to decorate when I  made the harvest wreath!

I also used some ribbon, eggs, feathers and craft wire.

I first added some ribbon but left gaps so I can use the craft wire.

I added craft wire to the eggs and added them to the wreath.

Then added the feathers and little eggs and then the ribbon.
