What else has been going on lately?

A couple weekends ago I went up to Coloma, California (where gold was discovered... In California) to help my mom and Margie Sanborn (wedding planner extraordinaires!) set up for a wedding that took place at The Coloma Country Inn a beautiful Bed and Breakfast that Margie owns.

Being the huge production that it was, we divvied up the jobs that needed to be done and got to work. Aside from reupholstering 34 chairs, weeding the garden and helping my mom and Margie with their jobs; I was designated Table Number creator. For this, I cut out colorful tags and numbers glued them together and hung them, with beautiful ribbon, from different sized old milk bottles that Margie had. The butterflies were purchased by the bride and dropped off at the inn and since we weren't sure what to do with them I super-glued them onto the bottles!

I'm gonna brag a bit and say that I think they turned out pretty nice! The ultimate compliment came at the end of the night when wedding guests didn't want the flower arrangements off of their tables, they wanted the table numbers! Some were even stolen!
