Garden Parties and Primary Colors

And after all, the weather was ideal . . . --Katherine Mansfield, "The Garden Party"

A few months ago, one of my friends (Rachel) and I decided that it would be great fun to throw a garden party.

And it was great fun. The weather wasn't ideal, but that's okay. We got together, had tea sandwiches, cupcakes, elderflower cordial . . . it was a proper English party. And on the celebration day of the Queen's birthday, no less.

[Bunting. All of the bunting.]

Also, Dani, Mary, and I all ended up matching. So of course we had to take a picture: 

[Oh heyyyyyyyyyy.]

[This is the reality of trying to take a picture we're all happy with.]

Love these people. 

Love this place. 

And I love garden parties.
