Wreaths and womanhood

Last Friday night, I became a woman!

Intrigued?

Well it's a silly story really, but it does make me laugh.

A friend and I received a flyer at a recent farmers market for a "Ladies night" at the local church hall. Like with most flyers, I kindly accepted it, glanced at it, smiled and stuffed it into my coat pocket. My friend however, got all excited and said let's go. Really?

The flyer explained that it would be a night where Christmas wreathes and the like were to be created together with a group of women, and the highlight,would be a florist present to guide and help out.
The complication, you had to bring all your own material.

Well my friend was so up for it, I just agreed to come along, well why not, Friday nights are usually just for TV and sofa snoozing.

So off we went. The lovely ladies were so welcoming. Surprisingly we did not bring the age average down at all, as we had joked about. There were many mothers and daughters present, which was really very lovely.

The shop before hand most definitely was a highlight too, we really did not know what to buy, but as it worked out, we did a pretty good job, although we ended up being a bit short of fir tree branches.

As I was twisting the fir tree round my ring whilst wrapping the wire around, I realized  I was now a real woman, I was doing things my mother in law, will be so proud of! At the age of 42, I had now entered womanhood.


Here is the magnificient object...........

Mine is the one with the wonky candle :-)

So do you do anything that you define as womanly?

Have you been along to the church hall recently and joined in a random community event?

Fun night had by all!
