Gold-Dipped Glasses

PARIS

virtual luncheon
in Paris, France

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve ?



Don't be mad at me because I'm going to Paris.

Yes, Dorothy, Continental Airlines has a direct flight from Houston, and
I will be on board, flying alone to the City of Lights...for a very very special reason...
not to celebrate New Year's Eve...

but to celebrate

New Year's DAY

with all the girls from "By Invitation Only."

We'll be going to a beautiful restaurant for a ladies champagne luncheon
(which may last all afternoon),

The reason, if we really needed one, is because Tina @ The Enchanted Home
the beautiful woman who hosted all of us for a December Christmas Party at
her new home (all virtually) thought it was such a smashing success that we
we should do it again.

Who am I to say no?

And, so, once again...an outfit, of course...

but most of all we will be discussing our thoughts on

"going forward"

Once you get out of bed from partying the night before, roll over to your computer
and see ALL of us for fun, giggles, gossip, outfits and some philosophical thoughts.

See you !!!!!!



& we will be giving away a piece of Splenderosa Jewelry
to the wonderful woman who leaves US (all of us collectively - the group
will decide) the absolute bestest thought of her own about
"going forward"

no pressure intended...

And, so far, I haven't decided WHAT to wear @#$@$@$@^&*(##

The Day After...


when life is supposed to get back to normal, we must clean up our homes
from the week's visitors and food preparations...
& so life takes on the regular routines again...
heading all the way to the famous New Year's Eve festivities...



but over here at Splenderosa WE are thinking about our
Ladies Luncheon
in
PARIS
on New Year's DAY !

the membership of our international blog party group called
"By Invitation Only"
had so much fun at Tina's Christmas party...Tina, herself, suggested
our January post be about a follow-up
LUNCH in PARIS



in keeping up with the words above the ladies invited to this
luncheon
will share outfits, tales of Christmas, shopping & some really good gossip
during a beautiful, festive lunch in Paris.

we can hardly wait to be together again.

make certain you come on over to see what we're doing (virtually).

Simply Beautiful...

wishing all of my friends a wonderful Christmas Day
with your family & close friends...

it is magical what happens during the holidays when everyone's
homes are decorated, the doors are always open to visitors,
& no one leaves empty-handed...a little gift, a little holiday favor,
or just joyful love & kinship.

simply the best, isn't it?
