A wedding and other stuff!




We went to a lovely wedding on Saturday.  It was held inside this large gazebo at a beautiful park along the Mississippi River.  Unfortunately, we've been under a cloud since last Thursday and it was rather dreary outside. But at least the rain held off.  Today it's rained and rained!  I am going to run outside and scream if this doesn't stop soon.  The weatherman says one more day and then we should dry out and see the sun on Wednesday.




This was DH's nephews wedding.  The bride was escorted down the aisle by her daughter.  Very sweet!
I didn't get a lot of pic's because I was in such an awkward spot and it was kind of dark inside the gazebo.
Afterwords, they celebrated at a very beautiful old ballroom that was similar to a 1940's jazz house.  I kept expecting Frank Sinatra to appear any moment.




In-between the ceremony and the reception, we did a little antique shopping.  I just loved this store window!
Everything inside was wonderful too!






I found this really cool vintage teapot!






I had hubby drill a few holes in the bottom and now it's a planter!
It's wet looking because it was out in the rain.
Well that's about it for me. 
Hopefully I won't develop seasonal affective disorder waiting for the sun to appear!

  1. Cindy..
    the weather affects me in the same manner..but during the long cold gray sunless days of winter..
    and the only cure for me is a trip back home to Florida!!a week or two there with my sis, and I'm pronounced good as new again..
    fortunately, after all these days of chilly/cold rain and hail since I returned to Denver,the sun has finally come out!and it is warm out..
    64 degrees!
    hang in there.. there's a rainbow hovering overhead just out of sight!!
    warm sandy hugs..Loui♥

  2. Looks like a cool place for a wedding! Love the little red tea pot, that will be so cute as a planter. We are all sick of this crazy weather...we totally missed spring here and the last few days we have had our heater on! :D

    I'm so happy you stopped by. What a nice place to have a wedding! I love outdoor weddings! The teapot you picked up for a flower pot is very nice; love the red! It looks wonderful with the white petunias in it. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful week.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  6. It's raining here too, Cindy. Every darn day! I spent the last 2 days cleaning my house so it'll be clean before we go off to a wedding in Milwaukee. I always go nuts cleaning before I leave on a trip. My logic is that if anything happens to me, the relatives will come in to look for the will and comment on how great a housekeeper I was! I know, I know, I'm nuts.... LOL
    Like the way you turned the teakettle into a planter. Good thinkin' girl!
    hugs, Sue

  8. Hi Cindy! Oh, what a sweet bride and I love it that her daughter walked her down the aisle. When our daughter got married, she wanted her Daddy and me both to walk her down the stairs! I loved that too!
    Cute cute little red tea pot!
    Cindy, that you always for your visits to me - I love it.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  9. Congrats to the bride and groom, Cindy! That's so sweet that her daughter escorted her mother down the aisle. My BFF gave her daughter away. It just melted my heart.

    I think that teapot makes a perfect planter in its jaunty red color for your porch!

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  12. The wedding looks like it was beautiful even with the bad weather. We are having hot, humid, and raining days here the last few weeks, so I know what you mean. Just love your finds, you are the lucky one.

  19. Hi there, the Clematis is wonderful! I had to rip ours out because of the freeze we had this past year, it just never came back after that.
    Love your blog, I'm now a follower:)
