Spring and Celebrations!

Spring has finally sprung! I cannot tell you how I have longed for warm rays of sunshine to drive away the grey gloom of a winter that's overstayed it's welcome! As soon as Shrove Tuesday arrived, I felt ready to shake off my winter coat, banish woolly socks in favour of sandals, and reach for the nearest floral summer skirt to cheer up my somewhat dull countenance! But, it was a little chilly for that, so the pancakes had to cheer a little louder to lift my mood...Yummm...

Pancake Day...

But, there were a few celebrations to be had, and that always puts the spring back in my step. Now, I am a fickle girl. I love shoes. And dresses. And sparkly things. We had a Golden Anniversary Ball to attend, and so the outfit planning commenced...




































The dress and petticoat arrived, and I was smitten! I did however do a little alteration. The dress needed a little something to lift it, so, I removed the lovely satin ribbon tie from the petticoat, and made it into a sash to wear around the dress instead. It seemed a waste hidden under the dress! I added a sparkly vintage brooch for a bit of glamour. Ta-dah!


Ready for the ball!

We had a wonderful time dancing the night away! 


There were a few birthdays to celebrate too. My dearest friend turned forty. I made her this apron...

And with it, a few more treats...




And now? Finally celebrating the arrival of spring!



Here's to warm, hazy, lazy days...

Blessings, Tania ♥

    It certainly looks cheerful in your house - Spring is trying really hard to spring - we just need to lose the greyness here in Shropshire. Love the colour of your glamorous dress - very pretty indeed!
