Today is Jocelyn's seventeenth birthday! In honor of that many of her friends are giving her a blog party and I am one of them! For a theme I chose to mix a few English eras....


My dress is from the Edwardian era and we can pretend  my book is Sense and Sensibility. :)



Now we must set the table - a beautiful table setting of china plates and cups, crystal glasses, silver flatware, candles and a linen tablecloth will be just the thing.



Here is a close up of your place....



The dinner is Elizabethan. Your main course consists of meatballs....



....and Shepherds Pie.



Of course we can not forget your cake! Here it is:



For your present I wrote you a poem that runs as follows:

My dear Jocelyn, happy birthday!
I pray in this coming year
The LORD and HIS word
Becomes to you more dear.
I pray you will be blessed
In many, many ways
And follow our precious LORD
All the rest of your days.

Happy Birthday!
Love,
Rebekah
