Impromptu 50th Birthday Celebration for a friend

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope you have had a nice Tuesday.

Mine has been nice with a lil busy

mixed in, but a fun busy.

We put some memory foam toppers

on our bed and clean sheets and then

I remembered (out of sight, out of 

mind these days) the quilt set we got

while in Charleston earlier this month.

  So we put that on as well,  and......

We love it.

 but will know for sure

once we sleep with it, hoping it is

not too hot, cause it does have 30%

polyester, but it really brightens up

our bedroom. Wasn't sure if I was

gonna like it with our yellow walls

but it looks fine, cause there is just

enough yellow and yellow green

and lime green, to make it work.

So that will be a future post once

I do some wall rearranging and

new vignettes in there. We have

been purging our closets as well.

Told you last Thursday that we

had the fun opportunity to open

our home to help our friend

celebrate her 50th birthday.

For a number of reason she did

not want a lot of fan fair, so her

fiancee' wanted to do something

to celebrate, so it was simple and

 easy with just a few people and

it turned out great. He did all the
planning and she was very sur-
prised (they brought her blind-
folded) and really enjoyed it, as 
did all of us, so thought I would
 just show you a few pics of her cake
 and the table......from Friday night.

Here is her lovely cake her fiancee'

had made.  She is Italian and very

proud of her Italian heritage, so he

found someone who did this lovely

Italian fondant cake, and that says

Happy Birthday in Italian, of course.

The top was made into the

Italian flag, so much prettier

than it even looks here, and

tasted yummy too.

I love how the Lord works things out.

This was all very impromptu and last

minute and I didn't really know what

 the cake would look like, but I happened

 to have these pretty plates and napkins

 already, so decided to use those and I also

 had some hot pink faux azaleas that I

 hadn't used either so just swapped my

 light pink hydrangeas for the hot pink 

azaleas and we were ready to go.........

and I couldn't believe it..... when I 

saw the cake.....it was all perfectly

coordinated with everything I had

put on the table. Personally,  I think

that was a God thing!!

some close up shots

We did put out a few snacks

but we decided to put them

 over on the breakfast bar,

so it didn't take away from

her pretty cake.

Her fiancee' bought this really

cool candle thing.  It is like a

closed flower with 1 candle

sticking out and when you

light that, it lights all the other

candles and completely opens

the flower while playing music.

Very cool.idea...unfortunately 

the music didn't play, but the 

candle display was great.....

None of us thought to take

a pic of it tho.....

                                                With a colored pencil affect

 A few shots just for the fun

of it.............

With a posterized affect

Had a good weekend as well,

and hope you did too.

Thanks for coming.....

Love, Hugs and

last week of June 

Blessings,

Nellie
