I took some time off from my blog to work on wedding things for my son's wedding. I was asked to make a couple of chalkboards and here is one, Friends of...
I was also asked to make all the burlap table runners...
And a banner for the Couples table...
And decorate the arbor they were married in front of...
And ALL the vests for the guys! Gladly they all fit when I arrived in Kansas from Illinois!
I bought these pillows on Decor Steals for them...
And loved every minute at this memorable event, complete with my daughter and hubby...
And my loving hubby Tim...
And I am 55 years old after patiently waiting for my son to marry...finally at 32 years old!!!
Now my son has a ready made family to make a home with...
And we couldn't be more happy than to welcome these two fun boys and a dear daughter-in-law to call our own!
While I was away from blogging, I didn't stop working on projects of all kinds.
Here is a lovely silver tea service that would not polish up well, so I decided to paint the body of them in MacKenzie Childs Courtly Check!
Love how they turned out!

Congratulations to the new couple... the decorations are lovely... Loving that tea service... may have to find myself one... Cathy
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful wedding and such wonderful pictures. Congrats to your son and the bride, such lovely boys she has too. What a blessing for your family. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLove the tea set...do you have a tutorial on how to paint the check pattern? The wedding location was perfect!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Nancy - Rochester NY
All I did was paint the body of each with white acrylic paint. I then used a pencil and drew the squares. I painted every other square black acrylic. I then dry brushed with yellow, then blue, then black and then white to get the look of MacKenzie Childs. After all was dry, I sprayed them with polycrylic sealer.
DeleteThat tea set is amazing, Terri! I recognized the McK-C paint design as soon as I saw it on Marty's Inspire Me feature today. Love it! You & I have age & homemade weddings in common! Please come visit my blog and see my daughter's "An Affair to Remember - a Homemade Wedding" to see our commonalities. First time visiting your blog and I like what I see so far!! Have a great week!
DeleteBest,
