Morning all, hope everyone is well as we go into our 101st day of lockdown.
Yesterday was our 30th wedding anniversary. Hubby and I aren't big on anniversaries as regards cards, presents or even remembering (!) though certain significant numbers do seem to deserve a little recognition. 5 years ago for our 25th our daughter threw us an amazing surprise party and I had thought we might to try to mark this year's as it was, actually, great fun and a good excuse for a get together with friends and family.
But Lockdown put paid to that.
However my daughter - party planner extraordinaire - had other ideas. After being banned from the downstairs area for the morning we were invited to attend Pearl's Brunch Bar for a bottomless brunch and an afternoon of games, snacks and, of course, cocktails. They had gone to town, decorating everything in a pearl theme, creating professional looking menus and fantastic food - we even had a balloon arch and a killer playlist to keep us entertained.
Well, we had a super time.
I am still on a high.
Certainly the most precious memory of the year so far.
So here are a few photos of our day.
I hope you will forgive me for this indulgence. However, if you want to see crafting, I have been working on my NBUS this week and posting non WOYWW posts - yeah, radical I know - so scroll down and you can judge my efforts. I've got loads more to post as well this week so keep an eye out.
Why am I telling you this? Well that's because it's WOYWW, desk hop day in blogland. To find out more, pop on over to The Stamping Ground where all will be revealed. Join in why don't ya, check out what everyone is up to and spread a little love.
I am running a bit late today so not sure when I will get round to everyone. I've still got to help clean the restaurant, those guests yesterday didn't leave until after 2.00 in the morning. And this afternoon I have a date with my daughter. As it now doesn't seem likely we will get to our theatre booking any time this year we are going to watch Dirty Dancing this afternoon. Bring on the popcorn.
Stay well, stay safe, Cindy xx

Well, that was wonderful and certainly I for one am glad you posted it on a Wednesday. I loved every minute of it.
I love the signs on the garden fence, I hope you keep them there for a long long time but if they won't weather find somewhere to put them, they are well worth saving. As are the menus. What a fantastic idea and how lovely to have all this planned and executed for your both on your special day. The food looks very professional and I am amazed at that balloon arch. Lots of love wrapped up in that day!
So happy for you and Congratulations on your Pearl Wedding!
Hugs, Neet 5 xx

Wow that was amazing! I do believe we share the same wedding anniversary. My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary yesterday as well it's our 19th. I love the table setting and the balloons. So nice. We couldn't go anywhere this year due to lock-down but hopefully, we can for our 20th! Happy, happy anniversary friend!
