Midsummer Madness Cloth - 5

I’m crazy for tables right now. Ever since the table of my dreams was built by my Dad I’ve been obsessed by dressing it with different settings, colour schemes, cloths etc.

Anaïs - 19th July 10

“Take one more picture of my tummy before we go in!!!!. I want to remember how big it got.”

“Oh God, we’ll be going in soon”

He was right.
