Crystal Fantasy

A GLITTERY DINNER
A magical, dazzling soiree with a modern twist, designed to last until the wee hours of the morning.
 
 
THE TABLE
A glittering combination of white, platinum, gold, silver, crystal and mirrors.  Scattered Swarovski crystals and silver-plated pewter candlesticks make the table look icy yet inviting.  Candlelight bounces off silver-painted branches studded with rock crystal, adding a cool shimmer.
 
 
THE MENU
Chilled potato soup topped with generous spoonfuls of caviar, fresh seafood (lobster, crab, salmon, oysters), lemon sorbet with a splash of ice-cold vodka, martinis, champagne.

This table is a stunner Terri! I would be so afraid to knock something over though. Talk about shattered! The menu does sound perfect for the table. I'll have a dirty martini please, with my chilled soup!
Thank you so much for your nice comment. Our book club was a total success, thanks to my husband's talent in the kitchen! Otherwise, we would have had pizza! Everything was perfect until Dexter lifted his leg on the Christmas tree. Seems he didn't like all the women in his house.
I'm still perusing your Welcome post. Your home is so elegant. I'm so glad I got to see it in person. You inspire me my friend in so many ways.
Love, Delores

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
