Have you tried something new this month and linked up with Fiona at Celtic Thistle Stitches?
My ‘new to mes’ this month have been, mostly, wedding related. For the first time in my life, I had a proper updo done by a hairdresser, which I love from the back!
And I also wore a fascinator and a pink dress (well out of comfort zone) and bought a vintage handbag from etsy. I’m holding a bouquet (incase you are wondering) because my daughter was taking the photo. I hope the ‘real’ photos will be more flattering!
The main event, however, was that the first of my children to get married – my eldest son – got married. My two other sons were joint best men and my two daughters were bridesmaids. The bridesmaid in the centre is the bride’s sister.
It was a wonderful wedding and we all stayed in a hotel in Portsmouth with a great many of our relations, which was a bonus new to me too. 
I’ve now moved onto a less fun ‘new to me’, which involves moving the entire downstairs of our house upstairs – or at least as much as we can fit and who knows where the rest can go – because are having the downstairs floors sanded next week :(
I am linking this post with Fiona at Celtic Thistle Stitches for New to Me in 2017

A wedding and a new floor! Lots of New to Me things going on with you. You looked lovely and the hair updo was pretty cool enhanced by the braid. It was a lovely wedding party. Next comes babies somewhere down the line, did you think about THAT? What fun.
xx, Carol

Beautiful wedding party and you look really lovely. My best wishes to the happy couple :)
I truly dislike moving furniture for floor work. Hopefully it will be over soon and it will be a long time before you have to deal with it again.

Awwwwwwwwwww Janine congratulations, MOG (mother of the groom – a state which I hope to attain some day as well :D) – and congratulations to the happy couple! The groom looks like the cat that caught the canary – he looks mighty pleased with himself – so adorable :) And how perfect that the kids were all in the wedding party – what a great post! You look lovely … I went out for dinner tonight with a friend who was a MOG a month ago, and now I’m envious of both of you :D

“Pretty in Pink”! You look lovely, Janine. Such a pretty dress and your hair looks beautiful. How lovely to experience your first wedding of one of your children. They are always such a special occasion filled with many beautiful memories. The wedding party all look gorgeous and your son and his bride are beaming. How nice, newly sanded and polished floors. You will feel as if you are living in a new house.
