Vintage Tea Party Photo Shoot



My very creative friend Kiah from Stephens Photography organised some local ladies to work together to help promote our businesses, so on Monday a group of us met to put together a vintage tea party photo shoot



I was asked to style the photoshoot and I was so excited!

It was fantastic getting my ideas together and planning for the big day.


Unfortunately we live in Orange and getting a nice day at this time of the year is pretty tricky so after a few postponements we finally went ahead and bit the bullet



As you can see from my behind the scenes photos it was pretty gloomy and cold! I started setting up about 1pm and I was praying for the wind to die down a bit, hanging the lanterns was easier when they weren't swinging around wildly.




Our models were all so excited, I guess for them it was like one big party and yes they did get to eat all of those yummy treats at the end, I may even have sampled an oreo cake pop too :-)


 The models were all so professional and braved the cold, mummies were on hand to wrap them up in between photos and I think they all looked so adorable.



Kiah's photos look fantastic, she has done a great job off capturing the girls having fun and showing off all of our products at the same time.



You can pop over to Stephens Photography album here to have a look at the photos so far, they really are fabulous and there is a great one of my foot stool I featured last week.

All the lovely ladies involved are listed below:

Blue & Green Art - Giveaway

Last night I was experimenting with some paper doilies and paint in preparation for a photo shoot that I am styling soon (very exciting!!!)



So I got through painting  the yellow doilies


Then as I was mixing the turquoise paint I got a little distracted



I just loved the colour, 
it was so pretty, 
so I grabbed some canvas and painted it, 
as you do :-)




I liked the streaks in the paint showing the different shades of colour so I left the canvas just like that and went back to my original job, 


Unfortunately I was a little distracted and tried to rush my doily painting and left the doily on the paper in the same spot I painted it so most of them have stuck to the newspaper and I will have to start again, doh! 

That'll teach me for getting distracted.



The yellow ones are ok, 

probably because I hadn't gotten distracted yet :-)





Anyway, back to last night. 

After I rushed through the turquoise doilies I grabbed some of this



Mixed in a little of the paint and grabbed some more of these




and ended up with this














I am really happy with how they turned out and I just love the colour. 

The thing is I have no where to put them. 

So I want one of my lovely friends to have them. 

Each canvas measures 15 x 15cm 

and you can have the set of three.

Just leave a comment on this post and I will announce the new owner of an original "McCarthy Design" 

:-)

on Monday.



Oh and one last thing, I usually try and spend my weekend computer free for the most part but I have so many gorgeous pics and some great quotes that I find during the week that I would love to share. So I think that I will make Saturday my "Favourite Pic of the Week" day and Sunday can be my "Wise Words of the Week" day.

What do you think?

Have a great weekend and for those of you lucky enough to have a long one. Enjoy!

xx


PS. Giveaway is open to anyone, just leave a comment and make sure I have a way to contact you.
