Royal Weddings are getting closer

I have been so inspired of Kate Middleton lately.. and not least because of her elegant style, and shiny hair, and natural make up. She is just perfect. My diet plan is getting tighter.. if Kate can do it I can too!

Princess "Perfect"

I started to memorize all weddeing belles from past, my friends, and all royal Brides. I love them all.

Crace was very Cracefull..

Oh Silvia is so pretty!

I loved her dress..

This is so so so elegant. I love Maxima.

Martha Louse choose traditional high collar

All I remember from these wedding was  royal family´s hideous hats.

Mary, my favourite royal from all times!!

I love this thick silk, and wedding bucket.. Oh lalaa..

Pretty but nothing very remarkable

These wedding I will remember always.. We are same age with Crown Princess Victoria, and it has been interesting to follow her life.

Vickan and Frog Prince Daniel , they are lovely

...and English Wedding belles..  Starting from Queen Viktoria.

Interesting detail I think, is that this Wedding brooch below is Queen Victorias Wedding brooch.. it reminds very much of one particular ring..

Wow what an dress...

Anne was beautifull on her special day!

 ..And who can ever forget this..

She looks tiny in side that dress.

Red head Sarah.. There is some sleeve..

Interesting choise for flowers..

I can not wait to see these too walking down the isle just married!!

Wihii!

It has been amazing day today, so many of my dreams have come true.

Yesterday we ended up finding very reasonable ( price wise) willow trellies to our patio, we want to have peace in the morning when having our breakfast, and it is like little wind screen as well, since living by the Thames it can be a little windy sometimes.
I grow Sweetpea  so that it would climb on those trellies.. and fill air with sweet lovely summery smell.
We found also really nice planters for all of our strawberries, and herbs that we are going to have.
They are also mado from willow, and look very "nature like". Whole backyard is covered with ugly concrete. I can not believe Who in world would think it is nice option?? It is so hard to make things looking nice over there, because I need to try to find things that attract attention away from that sad looking ground. So Willow planters, are one of my assets.
They are quite nice size, 100X40X30cm,  we have 4 of them.
I think with all Bambu trees, Strawberries, Flowers, etc. It will be very summery and just fine.

it will be nice to have these full of flowers, herbs, and Strawberries!

We ordered 1000liters of top soil.. I wonder what kind of desaster it will be when it arrives.
Only access to our back yard is through our reception room, or dock.. so we will see.
I can only hope that dockmaster is kind, let me use dock a little to get that soil in to our back yard to make it garden.. finally.

Hmm... biggest dream anyway is Piano. I need it for singing, for learning, and for teaching..
My dream would be old decorated baby grand piano, I would love it.. but this house is sometimes so cold in the winter that it would be impossible to keep it in tune, so we wanted digital piano.
Not an easy task. It need´s to be nice to play, it need´s to feel as authentic as possible and Digital.. and I would surely want it to look   nice too. I think most of the digital pianos look like ugly keyboard and I just can not have one around when I have managed to hide away most of the ugly wires and other computer related ugliness..

This is what I found! Tadaaa!!!

Yamaha thin baby..

I really like it´s look, and it is only 43cm deep which means that it does not take much of a space, but it looks like real thing.. and it has beautiful sound.. I mean as beautiful as Digital piano with this price can have. I managed to find it pre loved, and in perfect condition. Even cover plastic on pedals is still on.

Other great finding was this sofa..

I am not sure about this yet.. I must be since it is coming in on friday.. so I better love it.. ha hahahah.
I just wanted to have place to sit, and relax. We have our lovely guest bed/sofa from Laura Ashley in guest room, but in receptionroom, we have only 4 chairs. They are nice, but very impractical. They take lot´s of space, and they accomodate only 4 people. So this one is for 2 people, but it is really so big that 3 people sit in it easily. It is 2.16m long.. Where am I going to put it..

So all of this arrives on Friday.. it will be busy day. It is interesting to see how I cope.

Summer dreams.

My little plants are growing like miracle, and I need to plant them out soon.. I just hope weathr would turn warm enough to let them all stay out. it is impossible to carry all in and out every day.
We have bought herb collections, and many type of plants to our little city garden, and I am trying to take everything out of our out side space.

Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley, Sage, or Lavendel ( you can choose)

We already have these giving us summer feeling:

Pink Hortensia

..And weak bushes of Azalea, that I hope turn out like sea of flowers in the end..  I found them left behind by former people living in this house.. and planted them in to nice pot´s. They start to look like real thing again. Little water, and love does miracles.

I love this pink with white lining

 We are still lacking of relaxing space.. place where we can enjoy the sun, and have romantic retreat in the warm summer night, sipping cool wine, and listen music in candle light.. and I found perfect thing!! What do you think about this?!

I can just see us spending whole summer in this..

This would be great place to take a nap during the summer day, or take sun bath.. or just sit with your friends.. or just alone.. oh girl need´s to have dreams.. 
It is too expensive, but I must see if I find it somewhere with reasonable price.. used, or just cheap.
It would fit partly under neath our terrace, and would actually not take too much of a space from our little back yard, and it would "sink in" to it´s place so well. And.. when located little under neath of our terrace, it would be also hidden from neighbours eyes with big bush of :

Bamboo

I think these would make it perfect summer escape..

Little lanterns to burn candles in dark summer night´s
.. these dream lanterns are lovely..  I have one similar, already, but would be fun to get couple of more, and all of them different from each others like these.. all though I would like something that lets little more light out and have glass wall.. but all and all very attractive. I have always been little obsessed with white lanterns. I could use these in winter at Christmas time.. hm... versatile lanterns.. I might have couple.

Oh this type of a feeling would be nice..

I love these.. and light.

I like this idea, not very difficult to exicute actually

If I don´t find my dream canopy day bed from anywhere.. ( with reasonable price, I might think something like this.. Good isnpiration. I just like idea of roof above us because terrace floor above this "hide a way place" has little gaps, where spiders etc. can hide away.. and I want torelax in my little sanctuary and not think them..
