Hello everyone,
Hope your week is going well We are getting ready for another tour from Japan this weekend and it is going to be another very hot day tomorrow so I want to get everything shipshape today when it is cooler.
The beautiful vintage lace dress above was a recent gift from a very generous friend who knew right away that i would love it!
It is a creamy lace but it has a hint of blush pink in it too.
The back has lace ties.
So romantic-perfect for a Downton Abbey Tea!
I took these pics a few weeks ago when the beautybush was in bloom.
A soft romantic rose from our garden
These are my photos most of them were taken here last fall.
It is quite an honour for me to see my photos featured in this popular magazine.

The tickets for our Downton Abbey garden tea on Saturday August 3rd are almost gone - I am very pleased with the response we have had and I think it will be a lot of fun!
Hope you all have a great weekend and thank you for visiting,
Carolyn
I'm looking forward to picking up the magazine! Congratulations, Carolyn!

ReplyDeleteLovely dress, and oh my goodness I have that magazine and apparently haven't read it well enough yet.

What a gorgeous dress, Carolyn! Will you be wearing that at your tea? The roses look lovely. I finally got my own rosebush here now at the new place. I found a pink Knockout at Kmart on clearance and picked it up and planted it yesterday. Congrats on the Romantic Homes feature! I saw that! : )
