and the table arrangements for our brunch
were exquisite.....

i love the use of peppers in the arrangement.... so clever and lovely

and of course a fall wedding couldn't be without yellow!!!

this table runner arrangement was complete with artichokes and sunflowers, blue delphinium,
and leonida roses

the flowers were wrapped in leftover lace from my dress
and closed with pearl pins...

so beautiful.....

getting ready

10.3.2009

Today

is the day.

The weather

could not have been

more beautiful.

Here is Kate in the kitchen

getting her hair curled

before heading to the

Plantation House.



so pretty...

waiting to get dressed

I think at this moment

I was only worried about

a wasp that had gotten into

the house, the earrings

I was to wear, and getting

some eyeliner. Seems I left that

at home!

again, so pretty...

taking a peek

almost time.....

tiny dancer

When I was a little girl
all I wanted to do

was dance....

just like

KATE

 this is Kate

ready for her first

ballet class

just about a year

ago to the day.

She already was showing

natural ability.

Don't you love

the serious look

on her face?

All ready for her first recital.....

just 4 months after she began

Every ballerina gets flowers!!!

and then summer camp

attending her first full length ballet performance

NUTCRACKER

and now a year later

pictures by Leigh in this year's ballet costume

graceful......

one year later.... my tiny dancer

growing up.
