A Bridal Shower

  
The lovely young couple next door are getting married 
in a couple of weeks (after having to cancel their 
wedding twice due to lockdowns!). They only moved in last year 
and we have become friends with Chelsea and David. 
We were thrilled to be invited to their wedding 
and last weekend was Chelsea's Bridal Shower.

 
I made Chelsea some trimmed tea towels using Jennifer's tutorial here.
 
It's very hard to get a photo with the true colours. 
The blue is so pretty.
Of course I had to make Chelsea some of 
Fee's Glamorous Gloves here.
I think she liked them!

A matching shopping bag.

 You can roll it up and pop it into your handbag.
There was a colour theme for the shower 
and we were asked to dress in pinks, golds 
or turquoise, any or all. 
So my new dress I made was perfect to wear.
The room was decorated with bunting made with heritage lace.
It's a pity you can't see it close up. It was beautiful.
Last week I also finally got to catch up with Melody. 
After many cancellations due to Mel's ill health, 
it was wonderful to see her looking so well. 
I also got to meet the newest member of her family, Daisy.
