Halloween Teaser!

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

We are now officially one day away from the beginning of the Fall Season. Happy Day!

I am all excited for Halloween, even though it is more than a month away. This is one holiday you have to plan for! So much to do – costumes, decorations, candy selections.

How are you getting ready for the big Candy Holiday?

Please, May I Have Another?

Good Morning Darlings!

Autumn is only 5 days away. From my office window, I can see the yellow leaves descending in batches off the trees. It’s like they can’t wait for Fall, either.

This weather means soup. And soup parties. Specifically, Tracy’s soup party.

Lets make soup!

Emmy Emmy Emmy!

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

You all know how much I love an awards show. The Oscars are like Christmas to me, so the Emmys must be Thanksgiving! Yippee! And you know I have to have some fabu cocktails to quaff while hollering at the television – don’t fib, you know you do it, too. This year besties John & Holly will be on the red couch with me, critiquing the gowns and hairstyles, so it has got to be good.

My friend, Kate, from NYC, sent me the most delicious ideas. Kate, you think of everything!

What are Kate and I mixing up for Emmy Night?

Good Morning Darlings!

As I’m sure you do, I like to peruse the web for party ideas. I mean, the WHOLE world is out there and it is so exciting to read blogs and websites that are packed full of the exact things I love. Zombies, party tips, etiquette problems to resolve.

What am I loving today?

Good Morning Darlings!

Do you feel the cool in the air? Just a subtle change right now that will segue into full fledged autumn weather.

The change of season invariably has me thinking of new ways to entertain. Autumn is the gateway to all those fabulous holiday parties that keep everyone busy. And with so many parties to choose from, make sure yours is the one they are still talking about next year.
