Prairie Flower Bella from heather beatty on Vimeo . i made this little slide show of my niece bella the day after my mom's wedding. it was so nice having them in town for a couple days, playing in the sunshine in my backyard. bella was having fun frolicking through the big floppy poppies and playing in their petals. her 7th birthday was the day before. it's only 20 seconds :) unlike my other videos ! darin made the music long ago. it's part of a song called "Prairie Flower Parker."

hey guys! today i've got my first guest post ever over at fabulous Bellisimama's blog, Bonfire of my Vanity . She is the most hilarious, warm, wacky, fun person on earth. Be sure to follow her blog if you aren't already! so if you've got a moment, go check it out to find out all about a favorite creepy/beautiful 1970's film of mine. and to see my reenactment! thanks and i hope you like it. i'll be back here tomorrow!

well friends i am happy to say that the wedding was a complete delight. it was also bella's birthday. 7 years old and a flower girl for her nana...a special day indeed. mom and jack were relaxed and happy; my siblings were all around and everyone lovingly contributed. we were just missing mikie, who is insanely busy acting in L.A. but we felt his energetic spirit anyway. they got married at the little park by the river in Sutter Creek which is the cutest little old-fashioned gold rush town. we had wildflowers and folk songs and homemade cake. and for their ceremony, the sun came out! matt was photographer extraordinaire, taking beautiful digital shots... polaroids ... and holga pics too! darin (looking dashing i might add) took some photos too, and hung out with the boys. i loved how the girls wore vintagey floral dresses in an array of color. marmy made her own cake and it was scrumptious, a carrot cake ...

My marmy is getting married today! Because Grandma Cherie can't make it (it's a very small ceremony and just my siblings and our significant others will be there) we went to visit her for some last minute wedding girl talk. You all know Grandma Cherie . So ladylike, pretty, and tidy. Here she is checking out mama's ring and dress. By the way, I am proud to say that I provided the wedding dress. I have had this gorgeous vintage ivory flutter sleeve cotton eyelet dress in my collection for years and I've never worn it. I was just waiting for the special occasion it deserved. I guess this is it! Can't wait until later today when I get to see my lovely mama wearing it to marry her man. And Jack will be wearing a South American peasant style gauzy shirt he borrowed from Darin. Grandpa Corry works so hard on their yard. It is like a park, with both flowers and vegetables planted in orderly rows. Cute little Delilah shows me the path... to this d...
