Ok, so not only did I find out that the very nice lady can in fact make the dress idea I came up with, (huge happiness that I don't need to just make do with a standard dress)...
but I finally got hold of the location today and found out that yes, they can do any of the dates we want in July! (ie a Saturday lunch in July).
Unfortunately location person is now going on leave until the 15th of Feb, so we'll need to go down and take a look after that, discuss everything and pick a date.
"Go down?" You might ask? Yes, well our hopeful-it-will-be-perfect location is Karri Valley Resort in Pemberton. They have kid-friendly accommodation there, and there are loads of other places to stay in Pemberton, many of which have winter specials. And, for those who don't want to stay, we're having lunchtime wedding so people can drive down, do the wedding and drive back. (Though sensible me says you'd be better to stay... ;)
Adam and I both love the south west in Winter, so we're hopeful it will be perfect and cool and misty and everything. <vbg>
And I get to go buy yarn tomorrow.. yay!
However in a moment of possible craziness am thinking... fingerless gloves.. I could totally carry fingerless lace gloves off... I could knit them... mmmm Maybe *after* I've finished the shawl?
Maybe like these? I could knock those out no problems... I'm sure...
I am showing my steampunk-loving self, I know, and I jus' dont care... ;)

Pemberton Resort?! I loved Pemberton. I will have to bring Autumn. And take her to see the Tingles too.
ReplyDeleteWill start saving for plane tix as soon as we get back from our holiday in mid March! :-)))))
BTW you can only have those gloves if you knit them in a slightly variegated silver/blue/white, I think. That would look very beautiful. Particularly if those blue shoes will be making an appearance.
