Pink Saturday

Today at 7:00 am while I was perusing Blog sites, I came across this blog that featured "Pink Saturday". Perfect for me, since I absolutely Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuv all things pink. The problem is that I was to late to sign up(deadline was Friday at 5pm). The second problem was that my computer suddenly abandoned me right in the middle of me getting excited and getting all of the information. I couldn't even remember what site I was on. I found a site that participated in Pink Saturday, but not the original. What's a girl to do? Well, I've decided to post as if I was signed up for Pink Saturday anyway :) <~~~~~~~Rookie blogger in denial..hehe.

So here are my three lovely pink items

1. My pink silk rose that sits on my desk in my home office. It's almost so real and gives me complete joy to look at. I got it from a store called Home Goods, they have great stuff.



2. My pink portable video camcorder I got from HSN. It doesn't have a flash so it's not good for evening events, but it's pink!




3. I love this princess gift bag I found at a discount dollar store shaped like a pink castle. $1.00





That's it for this Saturday. In the meantime, I am on a mission to find the original PS blogger and get signed up on time for next Saturday. Until then,

It's Official

O.k., It's official. I'm a blogger!! I'm so excited that I could hardly stand it. I have been wanting to blog for probably about a year now. So today while I had some free time...not really free time, but time. I decided why not, and here I am. Now where to start? I'll start with the two things that got me into event planning and tea parties in the first place. 1. My niece D'Andrea and
2. Fond memories of the tea room that my mother used to take us to in Hahnes Department Store in downtown Newark, New Jersey in the late 70's.

I remember the tall ceilings, pretty teacups and saucers, fine linen tablecloths, etc. everything was so fancy and I felt like a princess. So I could totally relate to my niece when I asked her at the age of 5 what she wanted to be when she grew up and her reply was, "A Princess". Even though I politely informed her that her status as a Princess would not fetch her a salary, she was unmoved.

I set out to give her the experience I received as a little girl and put on a lavish tea party for her and her two friends. Complete with teacups, boas, treats and even a personal bell, to ring me for service when I stepped out of the room. She loved it! Afterwards, the girls got their makeup done and donned pretty costume jewelry for their fashion runway show. They have had many more tea parties after that and love them every time. They even help with set up now.

Prior to tea parties, I was always over the top when people would ask me to host baby showers and birthday parties. They loved that every theme was totally different and I came up with the most inventive baby shower games. Soon word of mouth made me the most sought after party host in my area and the rest is Throneroom Events.
