Girls NIght in invitations

I found these invitations at Lemontree and absolutely love them. They are so cute. I think that I need to have a girls night in and these might be the start. They are so so so cute. Love the handbag. It is soo me. I think that a high team may be in order. all pinks and greens and lovely stuff. I see peonies and petit fours in my future......It could be a lot of fun.

Buy of the Day (for yesterday) - Fondue Pot

i love fondue. I host at least one fondue party a year. We do cheese and chocolate fondue. I always serve a salad, new potatoes, apples, bread, asparagus and some other veggies with the cheese and then pound cake, fruit, marshmallows (homemade if I am feeling industrious), shortbread and other fun stuff with the chocolate. The Le Creuset pot is the best for Cheese Fondue and is so pretty. I love it. with chocolate I use a white one that is especially made for chocolate (it can't get as hot as the chocolate burns). I think that I will have to organize one of these evening soon, now that the weather is getting chilly.

Christmas Posts

I am dieing to post for Christmas but I can't. We have an agreement in my family that no celebration of Christmas - carol listening, decorating, wrapping, baking, cooking - of any kind can happen until December 1st. I already have a list of things that I want to write about. I can't wait. Some of my upcoming topics include:

• all i want for Christmas
• top 10 princess gifts
• top 10 money is no object, dream gifts
• top 10 Christmas Cd's
• top 10 Holiday Movies
• top 8 Hanukkah menorahs
• a princess decorating for Christmas
• a princess decorating for Hanukkah
• handling Christmakah - needed skills

Do you think that writing this post breaks the rules??? Who knows?? I don't tell anyone that I write this blog so I guess no one will know.

Even though I feel like Christmas has thrown up on everything lately, I am getting excited.

Buy of the Day - Uber Cute Tea Set

I think that this super cute Dottie Baroque Tea Set is so cute. I bought it as a fill in, until:
a. I get married and can register for the one I really want
b. I find a large amount of money in a random plastic bag for my personal use
c. I win the lottery
Until any of the unlikely options above occur, and I can get the fabulous Versace set I drool over, this will do just fine. its cute, its functional and I like it. http://www.rosannainc.com/categories.php?cPath=217_208

He would love it too.
