Good Morning Darlings!
Ugh, tax day. I always seem to owe. One day I will get a return and I will go out and buy myself some gorg Manolos.
But for now, once the taxes are in the mail box, I will have a cocktail.
Time for sipping! Or guzzling. You choose.

Good Morning Darlings!
Being one of the party experts at Swoozie’s has its perks. This week I got to run amok in their store, picking up goodies for an Easter shoot. There are so many cute things!
But the real fun began when I arrived home.
You have got to check out all the adorable Easter treats!

Good Morning Darlings!
I would say that mine is a charmed life. That very fact was confirmed when I was invited to visit St. Simons Island for four days last week. In fact, it was so fantastic that I have deemed this to be St. Simons week on Anatomy of a Dinner Party!

Good Morning Darlings!
Sometimes I receive things in the mail that are a surprise. This little package was one of those days.
This is the fun stuff!

Good Morning Darlings!
I know I really should post more recipes, but I’ve been very busy.
Now, I know that is a terrible excuse, so today I hope to make it up to you.
Come on in!
