for the past few days the weather has been just perfect for our festival of 'granny love'... warm temperatures in the day, allowing for us to show our true eclectic bohemian selves in the wardrobe department.
and when dusk falls, bringing out our crocheted afghans and recycled quilts to keep us warm whilst we sit late into the night crafting and chatting... children by our sides, contented to twiddle with yarn and sticks, looking upon us as though we were the best things since sliced bread.
never complaining about being bored and or asking questions like "was there TV when you were young?" or as my youngest often starts a sentence with "when dinosaurs roamed the earth did you.........?" whilst rolling about in fits of laughter.
on day three i look to the fields surrounding our little gathering and marvel at the array of handcrafted tents and line after line of brightly colored bunting, causing the whole hillside to look like a magical land of crafting wonders... oh, how i wish we could stay here forever, but alas the real world is beckoning us back in a few days and so we must delve straight in with today's look at 'granny love'.
i thought it most lovely if we left the main stage and headed out into the side marquees where there is a wealth of 'granny chicness' on display.
delightful snippets of 'grannified' living for us to wander past, finding inspiration, openingly gawping at the talent laid out before us and generally admiring the 'vingettes of granniness'.
so as i hop off the stage, (with the aid of one or two helpers, due to mr vertigo, who i am pleased to report is having less frequent visits with me) and head over to the marquees, please feel free to tag alongside...
{smile and wave}
how lovely was that? what a perfect way to spend day three of 'granny loving'...
and if you are not quite ready to hit your 'handcrafted' sleeping bags then i invite you to join me for a late night meeting over at Victoria's lovely blog 'sfgirlbybay'... where she so very kindly invited me to be a guest poster.
and as 'granny chic' is very much on my mind this week it seemed only fitting to spread the 'granny love'...
she will return tomorrow with 'a doubter' of the granny chic movement (gasp, shock, horror) ~ Tif
