THE GARDEN PARTY AT GLEN DARACH FARM

This is the indoor at Glen Darach Farm (where I take Abbe for lessons).

Today it was transformed into another venue.
There was even a fountain with running water.
One corner was set up like a shop, complete with a changing room.  Here you could find hats, harnesses and other things needed in the carriage driving world.
Seven of us got together and set up a table complete with china, silver and wine glasses.  Tina also brought beautiful roses from her garden.

Here is a look at our table.
That's my hat....

This is our hostess....Andrea.  When she is not training, teaching or working in the barn....she is out in her gardens.  Last year she decided to have her first English Style Garden Party (like the ones they used to have at home).


Here she is with her laundry basket, finishing up last minute details.

One of many hats.

Everyone brought their own table settings and a dish to pass.

This was our table.


And now for some of the hats....

















After lunch we went over to the gardens.  Perfect weather for a very unique event!
