Baby Blessing…

Waterfall

I am so delighted that another one of my couples contacted me to perform the baby blessing for their daughter Tallulah Moon. I had so enjoyed meeting this couple when I officiated their wedding and consider myself truly fortunate to have this opportunity of sharing such a great moment in their lives. I will be attending Tallulah Moon’s first birthday party on Saturday and as part of the festivities I will be calling upon her spirits and totems to pay attention as she starts her way on this fabulous journey we call life.

The girl’s name Tallulah is of Native American origin, from the Choctaw language. It means “leaping water.” It may also derive from a similar sounding Gaelic name that means “fruitful woman.

Congratulations to Julie, Bob and Tallulah Moon! See you on Saturday.

Wedding Shower

What a fantastic brunch! I was fortunate to be invited to a wedding shower by one of my brides. That’s not something that usually happens, but I was very happy that it did on this occasion. The family were all friendly, the location lovely and the food was yummy.

We met at the Westford Regency Inn, Wesford, Massachusetts. The same venue will be the location of the wedding itself, so I was able to time my travel and source the best parking spots etc. This will come in very handy later.

I forgot my camera, so did not get any pics of the happy couple or the venue, but I was happy to receive one of the centrepieces from the tables which consisted of a white teapot stuffed with a tub of growing chamomile. What better way to have your own supply of delicious chamomile tea? I’m looking forward to THAT harvest :-) . The favours were in the same vein, a tea mug filled with goodies. Trimmed with some spring green tulle, the mugs contained tea, biscotti, chocolate and some honey sticks. Perfect for a well-deserved ‘tea and a good book’ moment. We all know how precious those are. As a bit of a tea fanatic, I was very pleased with such creative gifts. I wish I’d been able to take a picture of the cake. In the same white and green as the favour theme, it was delicate and yet striking at the same time. Kudos to the Aunt who created the heavenly ‘french toast’ yumminess.

It was truly a privilege to be included in this day. I am grateful to everyone involved [gotta give a shout out to Amanda for doing such a great job on organization] especially those at my table who made me so welcome.

The wedding is in June, so watch this space for more news of Justine and Josh and I promise to get pictures this time!

Getting ready for tomorrow’s wedding.

This will be held at Pelto’s Barn in Troy, NH. I’m so looking forward to going over to Monadnock. If the weather is nice my hiking boots will be in the trunk of my car [hint, hint, weather gods].

Pelto’s Barn was first opened in June 1984 by Richard (Dick) Pelto.

Watch this space for pics of the event and also some shots of the region as I can never resist being a little camera happy when over there.


Some old pics that I found

This gallery contains 38 photos.

Taken at the Mile Away, Milford, NH. Quality may not be good as these were taken with my phone while trying to not impede the professional photographer.

Well that explains it.

My lack of motivation is totally explained, both the children and myself have a

virus. Don’t you just love schooldays? Oh well, once this is over I will start again. The homemade soup is on the stove and the motivation is on the back burner right beside it.

On Monday if the snow stays away I am starting my running schedule. Wish me luck with being ready for that. As an added incentive, my eldest daughter is getting married in Cyprus in a year and a half, I think I would like to be buff enough to wear a little dress to what is going to be a fab wedding in a very hot climate. Not to mention the beach wear. I have not seen some of my family for 10-15 years, I would love to surprise them by being as fit now as I was then. Time and motivation will tell.

 

Dress of the week

This year’s trend is feminine and romantic. A stunning design reminiscent of an Edwardian Bride. Ideal for those early spring weddings.

 

As always, this design may be customized to fit your own style. See our wedding dress catalog page for measuring and pricing details. 

Our WoWathon gets it done! Game on!

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 10,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
