Welcome 2012!
And what a year 2012 is shaping up to be!
I am starting it off by joining a group of my fellow bloggers at Marsha's virtual luncheon in Paris. She chose Le Pré Catelan Restaurant, residing in a beautiful historic mansion located in le Bois de Boulogne. I will arrive a bit early so I can stroll around Le Pré Catelan's garden, exquisite even on January first.
I admit, it took a while to decide on my outfit. Fashion is not my thing. Seeing what everyone else will wear, however, will be great fun. Here's what I went with:
Kate Spade necklace, shawl collar top, silk pants with chiffon skirt overlay, leather lace-up boots, Stella McCartney faux python shoulder bag, earrings, Aqua Universalis forte parfum, chandelier, Tivoli woods wallpaper, glass tile background
As I join this charming group of women, I look forward to absorbing their enthusiasm and zest for life. Going forward is our theme for today and I intend to!
Going forward in 2012 means I will...
-First and foremost, love and treasure my family and friends
-Grow more food at home and use our little patch of earth to its fullest
-Visit all of you more often
-Let go of inhibitions and just go for it
-Pick a volunteer project and participate
-De-clutter the house and build more bookshelves
What are your intentions for 2012?

So nice to discover your blog through Marsha.

Love the outfit you choose Annie it's really stunning considering it isn't your thing. Lunch in Paris sounds wonderful but I still have houseguests, they're napping, so I'm afraid I'll have to pass.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family!

I love your outfit, Annie...it is exactly what I would have chosen for you just from knowing you via our blogs...so don't ever worry, my love, you have your own esoteric style which is faultless. Growing our own food, using our little patch of Mother Earth. How splendid! And, right on baby...just go for it! Love you to pieces....
