where will you watch the royal wedding?

royal-wedding-cookiesUnion Jack bunting? Check. Sparkly tiaras? Check. Tea and Crumpets? Check and check! Everything is pretty much set chez nous to watch the Royal Wedding tomorrow afternoon. To tell you the truth, I had pretty much shrugged off all of the Kate-n-William hoopla over these past months. But then my parents came to visit - and if there’s one thing my mama loves it’s a Royal Wedding. I  remember waking up early in the morning to watch “Lady Di’s” wedding with her when I was small, and then I realized how fun it would be to watch it with her AND Mini Me this time around- and almost in the same time-zone to boot!   So, off I went to the High Street to pop into the shops for some tea and crumpets (see? I’m sounding British already, right?). I *think* what I bought were crumpets- but I picked up some other yummy pastries just in case- they’re French, but I think they’ll work in a bind.  Along with the snacks I got the aforementioned sparkly tiaras and a few bits and bobs to give our salon that oh-so-British feel.  And there you’ll find us tomorrow at noon, three generations of wedding-loving goofballs, dressed to the nines and getting tipsy off of teacakes.

And where will you watch Kate and Williams’ Royal Wedding ?

bridesmaids or flower girl gifts for a french wedding

I was poking around online this morning and fell instantly amoureux comme un fou when I saw this site.  How cute are these croissants au beurre earrings?  And the pink macaron necklace??  But these yummy French pastries aren’t for snacking.  Secret Velvet’s miniature sweet creations are made entirely out of Fimo dough, and are available online at www.secretvelvet.com.  Wouldn’t these make great thank you gifts for a flower girl or bridesmaid who’s helped you celebrate your wedding in Paris?
