Unless you live on Mars you cant have failed to notice the party atmosphere gripping the nation! The Diamond Jubilee! Not all of us are Royalist's but it's definitely hard to not be swayed by all the events and shopping, eating,crafting delights available for us mere subjects. So I thought I'd point you in the direction of some pretty things to try, buy or do over the weekend and half term week.Apologies for a lack of picture but my laptop isn't playing nice. But plenty of pretty pic's to admire on the links!
Kicking of on Saturday the 2nd, this site provided by direct gov tells where it's all going down! Which has this link for the pageant.I'm lucky enough to be a 30min journey from London so may well visit the flotilla on Sunday the 3rd. This is going to be a sight to see with approx 1000 boats on the Thames!
Next on the list is crafty ideas- none of which are mine but something I'd love to have a go at this week! First, you can't have missed Ifa's gorgeous buttons on IACW on the 23rd! Divine! Next stop is Its all fiddle fart for some very cute pinwheels my daughter would love, badges to put a smile on every ones face and some scrummy looking favours!
Would love to be able to make soap but can't so may have to just consider some of the lovelies here as a treat instead! They do look good enough to eat. Finally, eating! Plenty of that will be done I'm sure. In my house, I'll be giving some of these gems a whirl!
So that's my whistle stop tour of all the lovely jubilee things to be found! Sometimes it's nice to just mooch around and drool at all the clever things other have done. Will have to get round to it myself. Enjoy the festivities whatever you do! Cheerio, Laura xx
Thanks for all the great links, Laura :)
