Chelsea and David's wedding reception was held in
the Grand Ballroom at the Windsor Hotel.
Weeks prior to the wedding, Chelsea, her mother,
David's mother and I'm not sure who else,
On each napkin there was a brooch or scarf clip attached.
These were a
gift from Chelsea as a memento of their wedding day.
Chelsea had spent
months going to markets and second
There were floral napkins for the women and navy for the men.
I was cheeky and brought some home. In fact I brought six home,
three of each. I asked Chelsea what they did with
all the napkins. She said some
people took theirs home and
she will use the others when holding high
teas at home.
I gave her the wrapped bag and laughed telling her I
was one of those people too and that I took six!
I made fat quarter bags with them.
One for Chelsea and one each for Karen and Luba, the two mothers.
I lined them with the navy napkins.
I thought they could put some wedding things in them.
Chelsea is going to put the trinkets that were on the bridal table in hers.
While I was taking these photos in the sewing room,
the dogs started barking. I looked up and there was
Mr Fox walking past!
I ran out and chased him down the driveway.
Didn't want him out the back with my chickens
although the dogs would have chased him out there.
