Lunch In Paris On New Years Day
Sunday, January 1, 2012 at 09:55AM
Sister and I have been absolutely giddy to meet up with blog friends for lunch in Paris...
Virtual parties of this sort are so much fun...Imaginations running wild are the very best...
Marsha, with Splenderosa invited us to lunch in Paris at Le Pre Catelan on New Years day...
and gave us these words for inspiration...
We've been planning for weeks...
We definitely want to bring a small gift for everyone...something that will pack easily and the girls might actually use. A small remembrance of our special friendship...
We decided to give these over sized ruffled hand towels, a Providence Ltd.exclusive design that we sell in our online shop.
They are wonderful as is, but we had them monogrammed to personalize the gift...
We're staying on in Paris for a few extra days to do some shopping for the store...an added treat!
Planning what to wear was so much fun...Sister and I rarely get the occasion to dress like this..
Laughing till you cry... Sharing ideas... Planning for the future... Making life long friends... Does it get any better than this?
Well maybe...Our BIG SURPRISE...we brought along our driver...you may remember him from Tina's party in December...
Just in case we need some help to carry all those bags...you know these girls have some shopping to do!
It's your turn. Let's Talk!
And be sure to hop over to Splenderosa....to enjoy the luncheon with all of us. We're holding your seat at the table.

Fabulous coat with the fur collar...I have the matching headband...a 'must-have' for a winter day in Paris...gorgeous...and will we have time for a stopover at the market that you have shown!? In my world, it would be a must do...especially dressed to the nines...ooh, la, la!
Makes me giddy just thinking of being there!
Thank you for the visions!
Love the post! Too cute. Happy New Year!! Love the towel and har been meaning to buy one for my powder bath!!
Beautifully done and you'd fit in beautifully in France! Those earrings are amazing!!!
Mona....passed along an award to you this morning. Its so well deserved, thanks for the gift of your friendship and your beautiful blog!
Could there be anything more spectacular than ringing in New Year's in Paris?! I think not. I am still daydreaming about our family's trip to Paris in June of 2010. That seems like such a long time ago. Now, that we've shared it with our boys, I told my husband that we need to go back, just the two of us.
Could I just borrow your driver?!
Here's to a magical New Year!! Can't wait to see where it takes us all.
