I have exciting news! I am now the proud owner of 11 china ornamental swans! They have come from Devon in the Uk, some from the US...In fact I think only one was purchased from within Australia. I am very proud of my largest and by far the most exciting swan,she is covered with delicate roses and gold detail and I can't wait for her to arrive.
So I now have swans.
I also had a great time last week trawling second hand shops for other necessities for the party. I didn't own any suitable glass bowls for dessert and required more crystal glasses, so I hit Good Sammy's and the Salvo's in search of those important items... What did I find? 50c crystal and glass bowls, 50c to $1 crystal glasses and some awesome gold serving platters, the most expensive of which was $4 = smily face me! Some of the glasses looked a bit 'meh' to me, so I ran them through my boyfriends dishwasher on the longest cycle and shazing! Thank you Finish! They came out looking amazing!
Other purchases made this past week for the party are:
40m of netting to make chair covers
8 gold candles from Dusk
60 photocopies of black paper (just a start on the number of copies I think I will need to cover my loungroom walls.)
And now I am on the borrow and beg section of my parties goodies. I need to borrow another 8 dining chairs and some more golden edged plates and bowls. I have also started accumulating cotton wool or polyester stuffing from anywhere I can, and that includes digging out old pillows from cupboards and ripping the insides out.
So...Anyone have spare old pillows, gold cutlery, gold edged plates, bowls or serving ware or a photocopier at work that doesn't require a pin? ;-)
