The weekend before this last one, Caleb’s grandparents came down from Richmond to visit us! We had a great time visiting with them and we believe they did, too. They got to attend an assignment night(the class before Caleb’s--we’re next!), took an extensive tour of the base and the town, dined at the microscopic Thai restaurant here, and attended church with us.
Earlier in the day they arrived, I took the fall flower voucher the base housing gives residents out to an appointed nursery and was able to get a little pencil tree, orange and white pansies, and a terracotta pot. I painted the pot turquoise and planted it and put in a little mulch and thought it looked pretty good! I now consider myself an advanced gardener for putting more than one kind of plant in one pot.
Just for fun, I made a little towel cake out of guest towels and soap to welcome the grandparents. I made a horrible attempt at making a little cake towel in my car of the Target parking lot for my cousin Kate’s bridal shower and even that was enough fun that I thought it should not be confined to bridal showers.
And here we all are!
Hey! I loved that (dish)towel cake! I believe it had cloth napkins as well, no? It was great. What a cute idea to use it for guests.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time. Love your towel cake! It looks perfect. And we can only dream of flowers in pots right now! :-)
