A Royal Occasion!

Well Hello friends,

How are you since last we spoke? I’ve been busy saying goodbye to Summer and getting ready to welcome Fall into my closet. Such happy work!! I love the Fall fashion — probably more than any other season — and of course Halloween is on its way too!!

There was one last great Summer hurrah party at Government House on Saturday to celebrate the Queen’s 62nd year on the throne. Unfortunately, she could not be there, but she was well represented! The fashion was simply spectacular as you will see from the photos. An ocean of beautiful red and purple clad ladies was a feast for the eyes. Hats of every colour and persuasion made for a heady experience!! One girl proudly walked her pet sheep named “Little Lamb”. Happy party revellers danced their cares away while others enjoyed the complimentary food and beverages served.

Even the flowers and plush foliage on the grounds of Government House were dancing to the music — as were the delighted ducks peacefully paddling on the ponds. A great end to what has been a delightful summer. Gracious thanks to her Majesty for providing such fun for her loyal citizens here in Canada!

Hugs from Victoria!
