Parties and pretties

I am just in love with the idea of blog parties! Happily there are two more coming up. Tomorrow is the Mermaid Tea Party hosted by Lisa at Faerie Enchantment!

Come join the salty fun!

The various beings who dwell around here are full of ideas as to what we should do for the party tomorrow, so what exactly we’ll conjure up remains to be seen! But it definitely involves tea, things maritime, and perhaps a sea shanty or two. Oh—and most definitely viewings of THE LITTLE MERMAID and FINDING NEMO (I know there aren’t any mermaids in NEMO, but I use every excuse I can to watch it again!). I will also offer a little freebie to take with you if you wish.

Then come May 1st, Joy of Cupid’s Charm is hosting a blog party called Beautiful Blogging!

A blog party about blogging! I love it! It’s to celebrate her featured blog (and article) that is coming out in ARTFUL BLOGGING on May 1st. I can’t wait to read her article, but I’ll keep my own blogging thoughts to myself until May 1st. ;-)

And speaking of Joy at Cupid’s Charm, look what came in the mail today! My Marie Antoinette charm!

I opened the package for my charm and found all these lovely bits! (The chain is mine; it didn't come with the charm)

Closeup of the charm...see the sparklies? I was so happy to see glitter. :-)

And here it is on my neck (the reddness is from fiddling with the chain, lol...I have sensitive skin!). I have had this chain for ages but nothing seemed to go right with it...until now! Voila!

Is it not just divine?? I absolutely love it! It’s prettier in person, and I just love when that happens. :-) Go go go buy one for yourself!

To wrap up…I have not forgotten to mention my reactions to LOST IN AUSTEN! What do you think I thought of it? Hehe. Yep, loved it! It was modern and fun without being overly so, and had enough wit and sparkle to it that I suspect Jane herself would have approved. I wish they’d keep making more movies like that.

Well, I’m off to continue Mermaid Tea Party preparations! See you at the party tomorrow!

    My birthday is approaching—well, it’s in the first bit of October, anyway—and I’ve bought myself a couple of presents already. Why already? Because I can! Wheeee! :D Ahem.

    So as I was reading favorite blogs yesterday, I came across a post at Paris Breakfasts where she was showing images of bird figures around Paris.

  • Party prep and magical ingredients

    Roomie & I are busily finishing up prep for a little impromptu frak party we’re having today. One Florida frakker comes through town…and poof, seven decide to come party! I love these people. :-D But, prepping for visitors always includes the typical frantic oh-my-gods-I-forgot-I-still-have-to-do-that! kind of prep. But it’s all fun, and we’ll be grilling…

    Found this this morning at Enchanted Revelry and it made me smile and smile. The world needs more spontaneous dancing! Seriously. (I don’t care that it’s choreographed and that it’s a commercial…the idea is golden.)

  • Hope

    Despite being laid off yesterday, it was still a good day. Barack Obama became President, and he ushered in such an intense wave of hope and possibility that I was on the verge of tears all day—and it had nothing to do with losing my job. Sure, I’m nervous about that, but I know I’ll…
