Royal Rapture !

Being Southern has "Royal" similarities!  In the South, weddings are huge and the Royal Wedding is kicking off the wedding season here in the Carolina's! I know many Belles hosting Royal Wedding viewing parties on Friday before a full weekend of North Carolina wedding festivities! Viewing parties will be the most fun between wearing family jewels with Pj's and of course hats and crowns!

  I am sure we will also see ladies wearing the fascinating fascinator like the Bride and compliments of The Bag Lady!  If you are really lucky you might get invited to a party serving Eleni's New York cookies!

In honour of the Royal Wedding, The North Carolina Art Museum has placed their portrait of Queen Elizabeth on display, which at one time was thought to be the only portrait of the Queen in the United States. The portrait is in the Portrait Gallery in the new building for a short time. Winston-Salem artist Joe King was Commissioned in 1971 to paint the life portrait of Elizabeth II.
