...Down The Aisle...

One year ago we were celebrating the marriage of our youngest daughter Kate to Chris.  It was a beautiful day and a wonderful ceremony.

    When our daughter Kate became engaged, she asked if I would design something for her bridesmaids.   She wanted something lacy, with beads, in different colors to compliment each bridesmaid and their likes and coloring.  Down The Aisle was born!
