Christmas Memories....


Water Tower Park, Chicago
one of our most beautiful cities & one of our coldest
staying at the hotel atop the Water Tower Building is completely magical,
you overlook the city & the lake...so pretty.

  9. I am going to sound totally "lame" I do not get the virtual luncheon.....I just don't get it!

    How does it work?

    I adore your blog; your music, and your jewels. (I need to know about the whole turquoise thing) It reminds me of Iris Apfel! (no greater compliment am I capable of giving)! I saw her exhibition twice! I flew to NYC from California to see it at the MET...I stayed two whole days as long as it was open.......and then I went to Florida to see an abbreviated version; again!

    Please tell me about the whole turquoise thing! and the luncheon in Paris.! Please!

    Merry Christmas!!!

  11. I don't know where the snow cathedral is but it is magnificent. Love all the other images too. It makes me miss NYC a little, but they are not having a white Christmas anyway. I hope your holiday is going well and you are enjoying your time with loved ones.
    All the best...Victoria

  12. Merry Christmas my friend! Vail is where I was supposed to be to day, Alas, circumstances cannot be controlled. I am enjoying a festive, sadly non white Christmas at home with family and friends.

    Have never seen a snowman made out of different size grape wreaths - Super Creative!
    Ditto on long sleeves and sequins :)

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
