And They're Off!!

Beside herself with excitement she reports "We're going to someone else's house for brunch".

No cooking, no cleaning ( well except of selves), no shopping, no fluffing.

Just popping a narcissus bulb in a jar with a bit of moss, a few tiny pine cones, a bit of raffia and a ornament around the neck.


 Wrap a scarf around my own neck, a slick of lipstick and we're off!



That's what Christmas is all about!

    Twinkle twinkle little jar. Hope you get some bacon with your brunch!

    That is the perfect homemade gift! I am going to put together some of those for the store next year. (I have never been a planner--but now I'm thinking a year ahead.) Please tell your Redskins to go out to brunch too. Have fun, and when you get home I hope you can take a nap or read a book or do something fun/relaxing/indulgent.

    I would love this if someone brought it to my house. As good as any gift when the chia pets are sold out.

    Did somebody say bacon?

    I think that is the perfect gift.....re-gifted each year after as the bulbs bloom. A brunch is one of my favorite invites. Enjoy yourselves.

    Shelly, I so know you hope no one ever eats bacon again BUT thanks for the kind carnivore thought:)

    Jen, Our Redskins (deadskins) have been out to brunch for so long this season I don't think they can find a playing field unless it's covered with maple syrup. That said.....

    Steve, Shelly's pushing da pig today. Our host is Argentinian, I'm betting on some kind of meat:)

    Hi Jane

    Your gift is beautiful and will be treasured.

    For the past two evenings we have done like you, dined in style, at friend's homes. I just love it.
    A long leisurely bath, getting dressed up and not a care in the world.

    Help Jane!! Is it too late to plant some? I'm coveting yours. How cool to use pine cones!! Never, ever would have thought to do that.

    No Csamille, you can plant them for the new year! Any bulbs you would fund now should have some green already growing.
