Burger Tap – A Great Break Between Shopping

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

A week or so ago, Eric & I were invited to preview Burger Tap in Virginia Highland (there’s no ‘s’ at the end, folks).

How was it?

Good Morning Darlings!

Every year, Holly, Eric and I have our annual Christmas dinner. In the past we have dined at Dolce, Farm Burger and some other a’sundry spots.

Where did we go this year?

Good Morning Darlings!

No more musings. The photos say it all.

Good Morning Darlings!

Now that I have dished almost all the behind-the-scenes gossip about our holiday party, I am ready to dish a bit more.

Some tidbits inside…and then party pictures!

Post Party Musings, Part II

Good Morning Darlings!

These ramblings about the other side of the party are about as candid as you will ever see me get here. I am laying it all out for you. And sometimes, it ain’t pretty.

What else could possibly happen?

Good Morning Darlings!

Saturday night was our annual Black Tie Soiree and we are still recuperating.

Eric and I took special pains to ensure that everything was in working order, but you can’t help when things sometimes go awry.

Party Eve

Friday, December 9th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

Eric and I are one day from our big Black Tie Christmas Party tomorrow night.

We’ve chosen a very special theme for the party that I will reveal to you next week. Our guests are sure to be surprised and delighted. The details have been a hoot to put together and we are so tickled that we get to have our very own prom every year, even though Eric and I didn’t meet in high school.

This is better than the high school prom.

Our prom is better.

See you next week!

xoxo, Patti

Good Morning Darlings!

There are so many things to do in our fair city. Especially during the holidays. You might take in the decorated windows at 200 Peachtree or stop in at The Ritz-Carlton’s lobby bar, Lumen for a swanky cocktail.

I’ll let you in on a fab new spot downtown…

Good Morning Darlings!

Only a few more days before our big party here. We are scrambling to get everything done so all we have to do on Saturday night is open the door and welcome our friends.

The house is just about decorated and ready to go. Just a few finishing touches.

How about you? Are you ready? Is the house decorated or do you need help?

Help is on the way!

NYE at The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

My dear friends at The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead have planned a very exclusive New Year’s Eve for just 20 lucky couples. Why travel when you can enjoy a glorious evening filled with the finest wine, food and accommodations in town? If, by some chance, you are popping the question this December 31st, this will be the place to do it. It will be an unforgettable evening.
