Impressionist impressions...

Yesterday we had an afternoon tea for Madame Ornata's birthday. I took a couple of photos as in my mind's eye my beautiful friends kept arranging themselves as if Renoir was about to pop out and paint them. Wonderful.
I tried in Photoshop to capture the impressionist view - it got a bit pop arty but I still think it is fun:

The Birthday girl in peony silk polonaise, Elisabeth in strapless boho and Sarah looking very, very Renoir with some Toulouse-Lautrec thrown in for good measure! It was a beautiful, fun day. Happy birthday Madame O! xoxo

Adele, I hope that a nice soft cosy will protect your teapot, should it get knocked over again. Hope not though xoxoxo.
