What a lovely day we had ..... at the wedding!

Hello everyone,
Hope you've all had a happy + productive Sunday and managed to enjoy this glorious weather.  It has been an absolutely stunning day here in Warwickshire.  If you didn't know it was the end of September, you could almost think we were still in July.......!
It's been yet another busy weekend here at Fat Fairy Towers. Yesterday saw the car at the garage first thing, a quick breakfast in town in Nuneaton, then collected the car (thank you IVC Garage!) and then off to the Bead Soiree run by the lovely Louisa from Beadelicious Beads.Louisa was actually on her way home from holiday but we were left in the very capable hands of her 2nd in command - Michelle.  Had a lovely morning catching up with all the ladies and I made the project sheet of the day and then had some inspiration for a necklace (using the same dyed Agate slice as I used in the project) for a belated birthday pressie for a dear friend. Will post photo's once it's completed and delivered!
Then home to the hairdressers and then off to the gym..... Our new gym here in Rugby is lovely, run by a company called Better and they have extended the opening hours on a Saturday till 8pm,which is much better but obviously not many people realise this as we had the gym almost to ourselves!  
Today has seen me at the local station waving goodbye to my daughter Debbie as she heads off 'up north' to stay with her sister-in-law and baby niece - our adorable Lilly!  Then I visited the bead fair in Dunchurch run by Sarah from Bead Supermarket.  They visit twice a year and always bring a lovely array of beads and findings with them.  Managed to spend quite a few pennies but as Sarah comes all the way up from Wales to be in Dunchurch, it seemed rude not to stock up..... (well that's my excuse anyway!).
As it was such a lovely afternoon, I also managed an hour in the garden cutting back the ivy which has gone mad - as only ivy can!  My neighbour then very kindly invited me in for a cup of tea and then, before you know it, it's time for dinner!
I just wanted to share a couple of photo's of the venue of last week's wedding.  Andy + Shirley had a church wedding (lovely service) and then their reception at Donnington Le Manor House in Leicestershire, which again was lovely.  Shirley had someone in to decorate the barn and they also did a lovely job!

The lovely archway which was decorated with not only flower and ribbons but twinkling fairy lights too!

Some of the lovely gardens, all the plants - including lots of herbs, were all labelled so you knew exactly what they were

Lots of tables outside with pretty umbrella's and as it was a nice day, lots of people did sit outside

 And they keep bees - how fab is that!

One of the lovely table decorations - I was kindly given one to bring home and it's still going strong over a week later

Two pitchforks from some time ago with the lovely bunting too!
That's all for now folks,
with love from Fat Fairy Jewellery
