I've showed you Grace's birthday parties the last couple years so I thought I better show you her 100th! My Aunt Linda threw the party and it was adorable. Their family has a gorgeous country house in a woodland setting. My cousin, Julianne is a super talented floral designer and filled the tables with old jars of garden flowers and old family photos. It was a lovely day and my Granny looked cute as ever. Isn't she gorgeous? I am so inspired by her!
what a lucky lady!

Your grandmother is glowing...looks like it was a lovely party!
Does your cousin by chance work at Passionflower Design? The flowers (breathtakingly beautiful, by the way) look remarkably similar to my wedding flowers, which I loved so much I still get misty eyed thinking about them!

What a stunning party. I'm spending the week with my beloved grandparents, so this post was v. special to me! I just posted something about them on my blog. :) special times, indeed.
I wanted to thank you for your kind words about my blog and for all your store suggestions! It means a lot. We didn't have all that much time in PDX so I didn't get to go to all the stores. Next time... and there will be a next time!
