Wow!! I don’t know how I missed Ms Polka’s tequila sunrise drink but it sparked some inspiration and possibly a new signature drink at my wedding. Perfect for Mexico. Nice to see a beautiful image from Elizabeth Messina and discover Joy Marie’s work thanks to you! I had a look at her site this morning. Also enjoyed checking out Joanne’s diy floral design and 100 Layer Cake’s diy veil. Sparking new inspiration for a diy project this week on hhb!
Great round-up Jo, and thanks for the inclusion!
