Gorgeous Garden Parties :)

We have a garden party to arrange at Jemima & the rose' so have been exploring the internet for ideas and inspirations to create the perfect day.

Its mainly a childrens party, however like most parties there will also be lots of adults there so we wanted to create something for everyone.

Here are some visions of perfection that we feel would be beautiful:

This is COMPLETELY gorgeous!!! xxxx

(We could easily live in here and be happy for always - its that pretty haha)

Below are some such a delicious idea's for little girls to play and explore together)

Perfect! <3

But as well as the theme, we need scrummy things for the children re games and food, as we all know there is nothing worse than 20 bored children! haha. So here are some yummy ideas we have had :)



YUMMY - Ice-cream!!! <3

What a cute way to thank all your friends for coming to your party!! :)

What do you think? Scrummy visions arent they! :) We have so many ideas its hard to know which ones to go with first! But the good thing about a garden party, is that it really does suit ALL budgets. You do not have to be rich to be able to create the most perfect look. All you need is imagination and a little creativity, and the perfect 'look' can be yours!

Here are some simple tips to help you create the perfect look for your day:

BUNTING!!! You can never have enough, tie it from trees, to buildings, from gazebos to sheds. It really will INSTANTLY create an air of fun and summer for your party!

FAIRY LIGHTS!!! They will look stunning once the evening draws near and helps to create such a pretty look.

LANTERNS/CANDLES!!! If you do not have outdoor fairy lights, don't panic! Lanterns and/or Candles (tealights) will create exactly the same feel for the evening. Just dont forget to buy a big bag of tealights so you never run out.

TABLE CLOTHS/LINEN!!! From fabulous Vintage floral to plain white linen, table cloths add that extra piece of elegance and grace that reallys sets your tables off perfectly!

FRESH FLOWERS!!! Even though its a Garden Party, fresh flowers on tables in beautiful vases will never be too much! From roses, to Lavender; the smell & vision will be beautiful. Again you do not need a huge budget to create this look, use cuttings from your own garden or keep it seasonal. For example; I think Daffodiles are so pretty... there is something very beautiful about its simple shape and colour and the best bit is - the price! Therefore you can even go crazy and buy lots if you would like and why not! :)

These are just a few examples to help you create your perfect day!

We hope they have been helpful to you :)

Bonkers about bunting!!! :)

Here at 'Jemima & the rose' we are completely SMITTEN with bunting - how can you not be? It looks utterly gorgeous everywhere, from the garden to kids rooms, to your living room, to your shed.... if in doubt a splash of floral, vintage bunting will always make anything look good enough to eat :)

Here are some examples we have made ourselves but also some we have found along our travels...

Isnt it gorgeous!!!! - Oh we do 'HEART' bunting!!!

But where does Bunting come from?: Bunting as a term for the red, white, and blue decorative material comes from flag use. In the 18th century bunting referred to a kind of cloth that was used to make flags. By extension, it came to mean a flag or flags in general.

NOTE: Bunting is also the name of a type of bird. Bunting in the lullaby “Bye Baby Bunting” means “chubby one.” According to Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, “Baby bunting” was “a nursery nurse’s term of affection for a young baby.”



But why do we use Bunting now: - Because its delicious!!! :)

Perfection!!!

Do you want to learn how to make quick and easy bunting yourself? If so, here's how:

You will need:

Fabric - a selction of scraps will do

5 mts of tape

Pinking shears

Needle and thread (or sewing machine if you prefer)

Step One: Using the pinking shears cut out lots of triangles – approximately 12cms by 15cms. You don’t have to using pinking shears, but you will need to hem the edges of your triangle or it will fray.

  

Step Two: Arrange your triangles in colour order dependent on your colour scheme

Step Three: Lay out your tape on a hard surface and lay your triangles out onto the tape about half way up.

Step Four: Fold the tap over in half and pin. Make sure that you trap the triangle within the tape.

Step Five: Stitch the bunting. This can be done by machine or by hand

Step Six: Now hang your bunting out and have a glass of celebratory wine ;)

So whether its bunting for an event or just because you want some, bunting doesnt have to be complex to make! :) We hope you enjoy making some of your own beautiful bunting this summer and of course enjoying that glass of well deserved wine after ;)

A day for doing! :)

The sun is trying to shine, the birds are nattering and I have a lovely hot cup of tea in my hand! All is right with the world (well in my corner of it anyway).

We have been a busy bee's jotting down more yummy ideas this morning, of more gorgeous things to make and create at 'Jemima & the rose' .....and the list is ENDLESS! But what a lovely list to have - Its like being in a sweetie shop :)

Whilst we sit and brain storm, I wanted to share with you a few DELICIOUS things that I have found on my travels - you can not help but be inspired by them, I dare you!

Arent they yummy?! We think so! :)

They inspire you to rip down your floral curtains, just like Scarlet O'Hara and start creating hearts, bunting, cushions, bags, and pretties haha. And why not indeed!

We 'heart' tulips

Day 1 of our new blog - Yay us!

We have decided to create a blog for 'Jemima & the rose' ; our much loved little business for all things pretty! We started 'Jemima & the rose' because we are simply addicted to all things Vintage, Floral, Shabby Chic, and DELICIOUS! :)

Whats not to love about Antique Centres, flea markets,  & car boots - there is a very wise saying out there "One persons rubbish - is another persons treasure" and we love to find treasure.

Only last week we popped across to Tetsworth car boot in Oxfordshire, and came home with the most wonderful random items. Gorgeous floral curtains for £1, the most delicious Vintage cups & saucers for 50p each, a rustic old bench crying out for some tlc, and numerous other treasures to name but a few. How could you not love doing this!  

So I am now sat with a cuppa tea by my side and my trusty chocolate biscuits at the ready thinking of all the other yummy things we want to make and create. Note to self; if in doubt, try it all :) Saying that I am not the worlds greatest sewer (luckily one of us is though!), nor am I Kirtsy Allsopp - But we do know whats pretty, so here we go...........

Love & big Kisses - 'Jemima & the rose' x
