I know she is not Pink but I had to share this gorgeous Grace Kelly Barbie in her wedding gown.

Vegas Serendipity

The Day after Thanksgiving Me and my older Nieces went to Las Vegas. Daniela turned 25 and so we celebrated. One morning as the girls slept (I am a very early morning person) I walked to Serendipity for Breakfast. I like Serendipity in Las Vegas better than the original New York City one. Here in New York it takes forever to get a seat. Every time I go in I want to "spruce it up"! It is so much fun to go for Brunch in Vegas. I had the grits crusted Eggs Benedict which were different and yummy. Serendipity is known for its Frrrozen Hot Chocolate a legendary favorite, the famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate blends 20 different kinds of chocolate into an icy, rich cocoa flavor that is decedent and evil! Evil for the butt and hips. lol More Las Vegas coming soon. xoox

Pink Saturday Christmas Pinks from 2 Great Friends

Happy Pink Saturday and Happy New Year! I wanted to share some treasures 2 of my very great friends made me for Christmas. They both sent other things that I totally love but had to share the pinks. Ann Denise Anderson from Whim and Fancy Designs sent me this huge box that I thought maybe she wrapped herself in there and came to NY! I kept taking out all this Pink Paper and found so many treasures. She is just so talented words can not describe it. She made a gorgeous Pink Angel that broke my heart when I had to put it away with the Holiday decor. Then she made a gorgeous Marie Antoniette Tree topper but was difficult to put on my tree so this year stood on the side, then she made this adorable felt crepe paper Marie Dollie that is in my craft room looking so sweet. I had to also post about the most beautiful busts that will also stay out in my craft room and add style and class. hahaha If you live near Dallas Ann Denise is Hosting a wonderful Valentine workshop. Sandra Feazel of 7th Street Studio will be taeching an amazing beese wax pillow project. Click Here to get all specifics: "Click Pink"

My other Great Friend Cheryl from Nouveaux-Portmanteau Blog sent me the sweetest thoughtful gifts! Cheryl had hosted a apron swap and made gorgeous tote bags for everyone in the swap and made a gorgeous Pink one for me! I love it so much. Then she sent me other gifties but I had to post about my Pink Sugarplum Fairy she sent me. Cheryl added the "sweets to her arms" (pink cupcakes). I have such talented friends and so stinkin adorable too!!

Nutcracker Tea at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel - NYC

I had a fabulous "Nutcracker Tea" at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City. I took a very fast elevator to the 35th floor to their lobby and waited a bit to be seated. Yes I did have reservations. The girl at the desk called my phone to see if I needed to reschedule! What? We are in New York how can this happen? lol She wound up being fine and we sat down. I was so not impressed at the decor. The Lounge is a sunken living room with spectacular views but this was the "Nutcracker Tea" There were No Nutcrackers! Ok Maybe a Nutcracker cookie? NO! The menu was so delicious and so well presented. The desserts were cute, I could not finish so they wrapped mine in a green take out box! Cuteness. I asked why it was called the "Nutcracker Tea" and was told since they are near Lincoln Center and that is where the very famous Nutcracker Ballet is performed they are hosting a tea! It was really great the food and views made it a wonderful experience. A must do in NYC especially before going to see the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center. Maybe next year it will be a little more characteristic. So glad I did this. Maybe I miss being chased by Soldier Boy or him popping up wherever I was, I thought I would come here and there he would be. He is where he belongs now in Christmas Storage Land with his new love......
