Pink Saturday a Crown/Tiara Gift

Happy Pink Saturday! This week I received the prettiest "PINK" Crown from the Queen of Crowns & Tiaras Gabriela Delworth. Gabriela is a teacher and artist a book publisher and a really good friend. I had chatted back and forth a few times in "Blog Land" and commented on Pink Saturday posts and one day she came to New York City and we met in person. We had the best time in such a short visit. I was so nervous that I would bore Gabriela she is such a fabulous artist and it is a nervous feeling meeting someone you really do not know or you have one idea of them and they of you and then you are left face to face. Well can I tell you she is "real" she is sweet and a true Queen. I posted about our visit a while back so I will not go too into detail. I was so touched as I opened the "flat" box and there it was a gorgeous pink crown/tiara for me! I screamed and shrieked and could not wait to post and brag about it on Pink Saturday. I have met so many blog friends in person and some I know will be forever friends. It is not about who gets the most Pink Saturday comments or who makes the best muffins or who sends you treasures, it is about a bond started by:
Pink + Blogging = Friends. Thank you Gabriela and thank you Beverly our Pink Saturday Hostess (How Sweet the Sound) for wonderful friendships. Please visit Beverly and the other Pink Saturday posts and see why I look forward to Saturdays! xoox

Godiva - Pre Valentine Event

Happy Pink Saturday. My niece Daniela and I got to attend a Pre-Valentine Chocolate making cocktail party at Godiva Chocolate's Corporate offices in NYC. We were greeted by lovely Godiva employees and handed champagne. The room was decorated so elegant and festive. Hor'derves were passed as well as a platter of different Godiva chocolates. On Hand for our demonstration and hands on class was Godiva's Executive Chef Chocolatier Thierry Muret. Mr. Muret taught us how to temper chocolate and how to make tuxedo strawberries and told us everything and I mean everything about chocolate! We then put our aprons on and got to work ahem (clearing my throat) we got to "play in chocolate"! We were spoiled we had trays of super huge sweet strawberries to decorate and we got 3 heart shaped fudge hearts to decorate. Chef Muret ordered special organic sugar coated roses and pansies for us to use along with the other decorations. We were definitely spoiled! Thank you Chef Thierry Muret and Godiva.
Godiva has a fabulous Rewards Club that you should join! Why? Well every month you get a "free" piece of chocolate and for every $20 spent you get a gift for that month. You will receive special invitations and newsletters also.

Fashion Week Windows At Henri Bendel

Henri Bendel at 712 Fifth Avenue, NYC paid homage to Fashion Week and Anna Wintour, the Editor-in-chief of "Vogue Magazine", in their window display. Ms. Wintour was sitting in a row of chairs and Fifth Avenue was her "Fahion Show"! Front row seat of course. This was a fun window display and she looks cute and very fashionable.
