...and a basket of baby's breath!

 Here is the said basket.  My one thrifting photo of the post.  We found the basket at a thrift  in Port Washington, Wisconsin.  Just minutes away from Lake Michigan, with a million dollar view of the Lake to boot.  Anyway the basket was marked $5.99 but was included in a 25% off sale!  I have always admired the photos in magazines of a large basket just like this filled with baby's breath, but never imagined having enough to fill such a large basket...
I'll explain how I had enough to fill several large baskets...  

 We have been taking day trips as my husband's schedule allows.  I love a long drive but I also like sleeping in my own bed.  Milwaukee is our neighbor to the north, and we pass it each time we head to Mequon. 

 I have no idea what this impressive building holds.

 I know exactly what this building holds...beer!

 The Lake calls to us over and over, I never get tired of walking her beaches or sitting on her shore.  Since we recently had our truck repaired, we are happy wanderers again.

 Back to the baby's breath.  A lovely young lady Kelly, daughter of my dear friend Jean got married to her handsome Mike over the weekend.  I volunteered to help with the centerpieces, and enlisted my beautiful SIL Elizabeth to help.  (I am smart enough to know when I am in over my head, and Elizabeth works at a florist and is an amazing floral designer,)

 I set us us on the deck and for a couple of hours we played with flowers!

 This is our sample made by Jean.

 Here is the mysterious Elizabeth making bouquets with flowers from my garden.  We had such a great time making the bunches of baby's breath for the tables as hubby filled the mason jars with submersible lights and glass beads.  My dearest and I set up the centerpieces that afternoon at the amazing venue,

Rustic charm...

 the table numbers, framed botanicals from Germany. It was a happy and love fulled  wedding. So many lovely personal touches. I was honored to be a small part of it.

 My favorite wedding guest...

and his adoring wife. (I was trying to look angelic ;-)

Thanks for stopping by and for your friendship.  Happy summer, we are just getting started!  Enjoy this beautiful day.
