A Wedding Venue, Liam Gallagher and Ribbon!!

I have been MIA....again! I thought the hard work finished once the shows were over but it seems it just starts lol. I've been busy getting orders gathered and shipped and now have just loose ends to tie up before I can get back to my normal routine, though I've forgotten what that was lol. My tv room is starting to look like a tv room again and it's nice to see I have a brown couch and cream carpets!

Nicole hasn't talked much about the wedding since she got engaged last year. I almost thought she was having second thoughts then I thought it was all about getting the ring lol but finally talk of venues came up and Nic, Ben and I went to see one on Thursday. Luckily it was a beautiful day so we got to see it at it's best. It certainly was lovely and Nic was ready to sign on the dotted line lol but we're going to see a few more and look at our options. Here are a few pictures from our afternoon....

The Happy Couple!

Bride and MOB!

I'm sure this should have been Nic and Ben and not me lol. Get me having champagne at 3 pm!!

Here he is...the lucky guy :-D

We had afternoon tea and it was yummalicious!

This strawberry tart was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!

We were taken around the hotel and as we were waiting for the Wedding Hostess Sharon to get the keys to some of the rooms, Liam Gallagher walked past us! For those of you who are scratching their heads and asking Liam who??? he's the bad boy of the now defunct band Oasis. He was in Glasgow to play a couple of gigs (get me and my rock lingo lol) at Barrowland with his new band Beady Eye. We didn't see his wife Nicole Appleton (former All Saints) though it says in today's paper she was there getting pampered. We did get a look around the spa and it was so inviting and would have been wonderful to get a treatment {sigh}. We've got an appointment to see another venue next Saturday so I'll let you know how we get on.

I told you the other day that I had ordered ribbon when I was at Stitches and it was arriving soon ie Thursday. Well it did but I was blowdrying my hair at the time and didn't hear the door bell so I had to wait another agonizing day to get my hands on it!!! As it was I had made plans with Annette to go to the SECC on Friday so I left the card for the ribbon to be left in a secret location (not telling just in case I have to do it again and get raided lol) We arrived back home to a box of the most lush ribbon EVAH!! I decided to choose ribbon that was a bit different from the normal check, grosgrain, satin, organza so there's a bit of suede, ruffle, lace, velvet to name but a few. I didn't go wild with my first order as I wanted to test the water first but if the ribbon is popular I will add more ranges and colours. I spent last night loading it up onto the website so you can check it out here now. It has already proved popular this morning which makes me think I made the right choices :-D

Now all that's left is for me to get my bahookie into my work room and get playing. I know exactly which ribbon I'm going to use with this weeks TLT card. Ooooooh...I'm so excited lol.

Hope you all have a great weekend...thanks for stopping by.

Catch ya later x
