I know you are all probably so sick of hearing about my recent birthday but I thought I'd just show you some pictures of my 30th birthday party which I had on the weekend at Peppers Spicers Peak Lodge which is located 1 hour 45 minutes drive inland from Brisbane (where I live). 25 of my closest family and friends came and spent the weekend with us at the Lodge and we had a special lunch on Saturday beginning with drinks on the lawn (each girl received a handpainted parasol to use outside for the drinks) and then a sit down lunch inside in front of the fireplace. I decorated the table in pink, yellow and white with tin buckets filled with daisies placed down the centre of the table. We all had the most wonderful and memorable weekend. I am so blessed to have such a special group of friends!! I promise I'll stop talking about my birthday now!!!
You really know how to celebrate in style. So glad your 30th birthday was a good one! I freaked out when I turned 30!
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm turning 40 but am really excited about it. I must have had an early mid-life crisis.
(Coincidentally, I just finished posting how I am celebrating, and it's not that differently from you!).
This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteOoh, you make a fantastic party organiser (love the table setting and the parasols). The pictures look wonderful, glad you had the perfect birthday celebration.
ReplyDeleteLove daisies. My favourite flower. Table display just beautiful. I wish I had been invited.

ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious birthday party! I don't even remember my 30th, I think I must've been in shock! Or, my memory is fading now that I am 40 and I had a great day. Not sure which. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a wonderful day and blogged about it so you won't forget it someday!
Well Anna...I guess it looks okay. I mean, if you're into stunning table settings that are simple/elegant/gorgeous, spectacular settings, good friends, and hand-painted parasols! Looks like an INCREDIBLE time! Talk about your birthday all you want! (Happy belated...by the way.) :)

ReplyDeleteAnna, the daisies really worked! Perfect in those buckets. The yellow-and-white just look so crisp, and I love the parsols.
