Jubilee Celebrations

June 1, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments



Friday, oh I love you! Because it was a short week I feel like I have been running on a hamster wheel and not getting much done. I am going to spend the weekend trying to catch  up on the things I did not get done because I was away last weekend, and trying to watch a little of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations.

Jubilee Celebrations

I love the Queen and am excited to see some of the tributes to her.

The Telegraph

The Jubilee Celebrations are both large and small, from neighborhoods gathering together to celebrate, to hundreds of thousands flocking to the city, and of course lots of coverage on the TV.

If you are interested in all of the specifics you can go to visitHEREfor all of the official information.

From the information that I have gathered we will be able to see here in the US  theThames Diamond Jubilee Pageant.on Sunday June 3rd and you can watch it on the BBC America.

The Queen and Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camilla, William and Kate will be riding on barge like the one above. Other members of the Royal Family will be on other vessels.

We will also be able to seeThe Diamond Jubilee Concerton both the BBC America and NBC, preforming will be Shirley Bassey, Elton John, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Kylie Minogue, Jools Holland, Jessie J, JLS, Annie Lennox, Madness, Cliff Richard, Ed Sheeran and West End star Alfie Boe.

If you are interested in seeing some of the pageantry and celebrations you can watchBBC America, as well as, the Service of Thanksgiving on the 5th of June.

What are your plans for the weekend? Will you participate in any of the celebrations? I know Jeanne fromCollage of Lifeand Jude fromA Trifle Rushedhave plans to celebrate with their neighborhoods and are enjoying all of the excitement of being in the city. Or will you be like me, viewing in on TV?

Wherever you are and whatever you do I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

    We had a fabulous day at my daughter's school yesterday, and I've just seen a super photo of Buckingham Palace, lit up with a huge Union Jack. It is raining here and I don't think my little girl will see much if we try to watch the flotilla in central London, so like you we'll be watching the BBC tomorrow, should be fun.

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
