Not because the china or crystal is gorgeous, or the table cloth and netting is perfect, or even that the daisies are one of the most friendly flowers on earth...it's because it was designed with love. I know it has to be a trying time for the family, prayers will certainly be on my list for your nephew as well as for his wife. <br />Finally, your photography is crystal clear...I just love it all.Sharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685297014593446248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-87357914683663990992014-05-23T18:53:56.777-04:002014-05-23T18:53:56.777-04:00ooooh beautiful!
