wedding series #4: last chapter

With sadness I announce the end of the 2012's wedding series.

No such events are scheduled for year 2013.
So far that is, let's see if there will be any surprises ;o)

So..
Rena&Giorgos got married! 

This wedding invitation came quite unexpectedly.

Rena is a friend from the university, who I hadn't seen in years.
Just before her wedding we met casually through a mutual friend and...
ta taaa, she invited me to her wedding!

I was thrilled, because to be present at her most glorious joy
was more than I could ask. She is such a joyfull and
down-to-earth person and I am really keen on her.

Luckilly I was halfway prepared, I was just finishing this skirt...

front

back

Although the skirt can be worn on each side,
the zipper is invisible and sewn on the side,
I prefer to wear the bow on the back.
After all this detail was the starting point of this creation..

the bow

And coming to think of it right now, it is funny.
My nickname within the family as a kid was "bow",
in greek φιόγκος.
Being tempted to tease on my big sister I would say it is,
because I was the youngest and cutest :o)
The truth is that nobody knows why, except my mom of course.

So getting back to where we were,
the perfect occasion to make the test drive was found!

The party was held at a beautiful winery, modern construction as you will see.
Old friends from the university: we all met around the round table...

Cute touch was this detail: the wishing table!

All handmade from Craft Box:
freshly baked cookies ready to be eaten and
autumn leaves to write your wishes for the newlyweds!
So, wishes were written

and hung on the tree.

Waited for the newlyweds,


who arrived in time and

didn't leave us from their sight ;o)

Wishing them great happiness!

cars here, there and everywhere

Presenting mm's shirt full of cars.

It isn't black, like Juanes claims in his song,

nor light blue like Dalaras does.
[And speaking of shirts couldn't miss this classic by Kazantzidis.]

Well, it is light blue to be exact,
only covered with thousand little colourful cars.

I found the fabric in Ribes y Casals,
in the department with baby and infant textiles.
R&B was and is one my favourite spots in Madrid..

As soon as I saw the fabric, I knew who would love it. And I was right.
Turned into a shirt for mm it was.

Like true paparazzi she resisted me making photos of her at that time.
The shirt dates a couple of years ago, when I was living in Madrid. 

But the right time has come and she has indulged me.

It must be the new haircut ;o)
