Ursula & I.
Today I attended my first Blueberry Social which was hosted by Ursula Hopkins at her home in Loiser Settlement.
The tables were beautifully done with a blueberry theme, the 'Blueberry Ladies' accented many things.
Five tables were awaiting us...
The cutlery was stunning,
Each table had its own tea pot, it was so civilized. Ursula's creativity was everywhere & all of us ladies were caught up in the awe of her imagination with each setting.
The luncheon was scrumptious, the dessert divine. I had seconds of the blueberry trifle, YUM!

The day was fantastic, weather wise & the company wonderful! We sat & had a chat & introduced ourselves. Not everyone knew each other, however we all were acquainted by the end of the afternoon.

Elegant Fansinators were worn by many...
Hats were all adorned
So many colours & styles...
George, Ursula's husband, with his family, felt left out with no hat...
No problem...you can wear mine! Smile!!
This hat is Paula's invention, the ribbon was a tape measure, fruit, floral & a bird in a nest!
This fasinator had a pincushion theme, she wore it well!
This is the photo of all of us, George didn't use the zoom. He took so many pictures it felt like a wedding day, stay-smile, stay-smile, at least a dozen times! Thank you George for being such a good sport with so many of us & our cameras.
