The Baseball Wedding Theme - "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"

With a Baseball Wedding Theme, you can show guests that you’ll play on the same team for life.   This theme truly hits home for a couple of baseball sports fans.

Here are some winning ideas for your baseball themed wedding:



Row 1:    Baseball Themed Groom's Cake courtesy of The Knot;    Baseball Cake Toppers - Bride Ready To Hit A Home Run with Groom Pitching;    Baseball Themed Thank You Cards;   Baseball Theme Miniature Sports Gumball Machine

Row 2:    Novelty Popcorn Cartons;  Snack Tray, Baseball Bats & Balls, Favor Bags images courtesy of Snippet & Ink

• Invitations – Give guests a hint of what’s to come with wedding invitations that resemble baseball admission tickets.
  
  
• Decorations – For centerpieces, use flowers and pennants in your team colors.   Fill vases with chocolate foil wrapped baseballs or mini plastic baseballs and add flowers.   Since baseball is a classic American pastime, using decorations in the colors of the American flag would be ideal.
  
  Instead of using table numbers at the reception, name each table after members of your favorite baseball team.
  
  
• Dessert Table – Decorate your dessert buffet using your favorite team’s colors.   Don’t forget the apple pie!
  
  
• Wedding Cake – Have your wedding cake decorated with red stitching to resemble a baseball.   Use a baseball themed wedding cake topper.
  
  
• Guest Book - Have guests autograph a baseball bat instead of using a traditional guest book.   Be sure to have markers available.
  
  
• Cocktail Hour - For a twist on the traditional cocktail hour, serve foods generally found at sporting events:   popcorn, peanuts, Cracker Jack, Coke in classic bottles, Ballpark franks, nachos, beer… You get the idea!
  
  
• Favors – Baseball themed favors will leave guests with fond memories of your sporty wedding day.   Team-themed cookies in favor bags make a sweet treat as do mini baseball helmets filled with candies.   Attach a favor tag with an appropriate sentiment.

Got ideas or inspiration for the perfect baseball lovers' wedding?   Share your thoughts below.

Pero Diego me nominó a otro. Again, es para mí un honor. Quiero darle gracias a Eugenia por tener siempre cosas que decir y por ser La Matriarca, a mis hermanos por pararse de la computadora cada vez que estoy "inspirada," a la RAE, a los señores que escribieron el libro Nacho... juuuust kidding también.

1 - Ve a esta página: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

Some Flowers & People & Memories To Make Me Smile

Here are some fabulous flowers that make me smile, we need them in our homes (Not least to replace the Christmas Tree), we need to appreciate beauty, a single Arum, or imagine a clear simple vase of Narcissus or a tall striving for flight Bird of Paradise, we need to remind ourselves we’re alive and life is for living so come on lets get on with it…

Sweet scented Stocks. Stocks always make me think of Vicky (We've worked together for nearly 20 years) and she absolutely loves them.

Rebecca, Emma and great Coffee, we share our coffee addiction equally between, Costa (Best Ginger Bread Latte), Nero (Best Cappuccino), Coffee Cow (Best Espresso) & Vida's (Best Macchiato) you have to share the love!

We’ve loved having Rebecca back, she makes us laugh, she demands attention, she makes us do stuff (Visit people and be sociable), she makes Olivia happy, she entertains us with debate and discussion, she cooks our dinner occasionally, she messes up, she uses more shampoo in one week than the three of us use in a month (Jason doesn’t have much hair admittedly!), she’s worked hard in the shops and we are really, really going to miss her!
Jason said last night over a dinner that Rebecca had cooked, King Prawn Linguine, that the thought of Rebecca going back to London on Sunday is far worse than the reality of her actually being there or he at least hopes that this is the case.
Rebecca conversely can’t wait to get back, she loves LAMDA, she loves London, she loves her new "friends" and we love her, so we have to pack her up and send her back with happy hearts because she’s doing exactly what she wants and loves.
After all, this is what we’ve been working so hard for, to provide for our girls, to make available opportunities for them, the bit we have no control of is how they make the most of these opportunities, will they squeeze the juice out of life?

Olivia is thoroughly enjoying her art spending every waking hour working on her masterpiece, our house looks like an artist’s studio (My very expensive sink sports a paint splash effect, my best tumblers hold an array of paint brushes). Olivia is a beautiful person in every respect (We aren’t biased in any way!) she has a great bunch of friends and a lovely well brought up boy friend who talks to us and is a pleasure to have around, Henry we like you!.

We are worried about our industry flower shops are closing down daily, we are worried about recession, about parking in St Annes, about the Pound and the Euro, about creditors & debtors, about having enough customers or our customers having enough to buy flowers, these worries are things we can do little to influence but we are doing our level best to make a difference and having a loving hard working family behind you is exactly what you need to give you the energy and overwhelming desire to keep the passion, zeal and gusto for every area of life and business going.
A great family ensures that there is always something to smile about and always something to work for.

Above is a lovely Cameo Calla or Zantedeschia to give it a posh name and this flower desrves a posh name don't you think?

Euphorbia Fulgens, these delicate flowers are related to the Poinsettia, I love the way they dance when you drop them into a vase.

Wax Flower, A spring blossom type of flower with woody stems, when you cut or break the stems it releases a fabulous citrus fragrance, really fresh and zesty.

Paper Whites, one of my favourites, when I was a child my parents used to go to the Growers Market on Old Smithfield Market in Manchester to buy Narcissus, in those days all of the bulb flowers were sold open and in full bloom consequently when the old Sherpa van was loaded up and totally bursting the smell was intense and powerful, now so many years later I get a whaft of Paper Whites and I'm transported back to that time, me snuggled up in my fathers big sheepskin flying jacket in the middle seat watching the comings and goings of the market whilst my Mum & Dad haggled and bartered over the price!

And Brassica or Cabbage Flowers, if you don't change the water the smell is reminiscent of School Dinners always a memory to make me smile!

SiverDell Book Shop in Kirkham Presents, Julian Clary in Conversation with Our Very Own Peter Taylor

Jason and I dressed the stage the great people at Lowther Pavillion, mopped, set the lights and as the saying goes the stage was set....

Elaine from SilverDell, welcomed the huge audience that filled Lowther each member of the audience was given a signed copy of Julian's latest novel "Devil in Disguise", Sue from Silverdell was behind the scenes ensuring that all ran smoothly.

Peter Taylor was first on stage, he thanked us all for our attendance, for our very much needed support of Lowther and then he introduced Julian...

Julian regaled us with tales of "Fanny the Wonder Dog", "The Joan Collins Fan Club", affairs at "Strictly Come Dancing" and so much more including reading some seriously entertaining excerts from his novel.

Peter Taylor did, as we all knew he would the most brilliant "Parkinson" impression ever seen, he was quite wonderful, utterly entertaining yet completely in charge, not easy with a guest as excellent if not just little tricky as Julian Clary, well done Peter, we were very proud of you.

Sue & Elaine do such a fabulous job of organising these literary extravaganzas and it's great that this sort of thing also helps to support local businesses and of course Lowther.

After the conversation Julian added messages to the signed books and had his picture taken with members of the audience, a great night was had by all.

Follow this link to find out about Friends of Lowther Pavillion.

SilverDell really are the best book shop in the world, P.S. Our Book Club, Richard & Judy is now going to be on next Wednesday we believe.
