Love Is In The Air...

Spring is here.  It's wedding season again.  There are new babies in the family.  The Royal Wedding is two days away...

I'd say love is in the air! 

Heart shaped chair, blushing walls, pretty flowers...sigh!

Have a lovely Wednesday!

Tea Time

It's almost the Royal Wedding day! 

I am brushing up on my tea drinking and preparing to make some dainty scones and madeleines.  There are very few things as ladylike as a grown-up tea party {I hear they even serve champagne sometimes}!

So, brush off your teapots buy a royal new tea set and get those pinky fingers up!  Only 9 more days to go!

Friday Fascination

I heard this morning that "The art of millinery is back"! 

Phew! 

Hat making is big business in the Old Country, and I am ready to take it on here in the States!  Fascinators are all the rage again!  Try telling me that wearing one of these delicate confections would not make a special occasion more fun. 

I am in a tizz trying to select the perfect one for Friday, April 29th.  I think one would look marvelous with my sofa, robe, and coffee.

TGIF!

Bermu-delicious

Sigh. 

Being back from a marvelous vacation is the WORST.  The island time to work time change is not an easy transition. 

Bermuda was gorge.  A sunny and beautiful relaxation station.  When we weren't beaching, we were eating.  And let me tell you...there was plenty to choose from!  We got swizzled and swaggered, starting with the famous Bermuda Rum Swizzle: a deceptively strong and delicious drink. 

Being the oink that I am...the dinners were arguably, the best part of our trip!  Fresh seafood and local treats every night!  Dinners lasted 2 hours and I came away with a round tummy and empty pockets!  It was love.  Barracuda Grill and Port O Call still have me dreaming!

When can I go back???

Wish I Could Stay and Chat...

...But, I'm off to Bermuda for a long weekend!  Pink sands and rum swizzles. Ciao darlings!

I heard Jesus, He Drank Wine...

...I bet we'd get along just fine!

The Gypsies Are Back!

No not those gypsies.  Not the ones who have haunted Richmond for years.  Not the ones who steal the silver out of your house while your outside in your garden.  No, not those.  But these gypsies! 

The bohemian gypsy spirit in decor and fashion is running wild and I love it.  Rich colors, big and bright accessories.  Be it curtain or caftan, bold, big, and decadent are in.  Don't hide your jewelry...stack it up and wear it!
