Anniversary Toast in the Lavender Garden

25 comments:

It's my Wedding Anniversary...I will humbly admit to have been  married to the same person 
for 31 years
I was a child bride of course!
Time  to celebrate...
so's how's about a little bit of  Champs in the lavender garden?

These are my favorite little slurpies for drinking outside...no glasses necessary!
This is a light Rose' Sparkling Wine called Sofia

Francis Ford Coppola developed this wine for his daughter Sophia 
for her wedding
Chill and then pop the top and sip through the little straw...seriously fun!


I set our little afternoon treat, with just a few things....
Champagne, Strawberries and Chocolate
so very simple and romantic...don't you think?

 the little bouquet is a few thin and frilly stems of 
wild poppy, grapevine tendrils and lavender
 I planted these poppies from seed and they have taken forever to bloom 
 but today they seem especially pretty 
and almost transparent
 the Lavender garden is in full bloom

 and the grape vines are taking over the entire Apple orchard...literally!!!!


 for the chocolate...just supermarket stuff
my husband loves gummy bears 
( he doesn't read my blog so I can tell you this weird little detail)
but I should have served those too!

 tuck a few mint sprigs into your berries...I think it  looks prettier 
and it smells amazing

my table covering is an old piece of toile fabric

and the cocktail napkins are old hankies...washed and washed and faded so beautifully

So...Cheers to you too!
have a happy weekend

  19. Happy anniversary! We will be celebrating our 32nd this August. You have given me an idea how to celebrate, something very simple and sweet. My husband loves gummy bears too, and of course I'm a chocolate girl! Can you tell me where to buy Sophia?

    Happy weekend gardening!
