Christmas at Monica's~
Yesterday Monica and I hosted a Christmas party/luncheon at Monica's home. It was a group of ladies that wanted to have their ornament gift exchange somewhere 'different'...
...so we did that for them.
They had punch, coffee/tea, lunch, cake, and music.
And... they enjoyed Monica's beautiful Christmas home.
Tissue pom-pom flowers on Monica's Christmas tree are beautiful in white and burlap/brown. Monica also tied white vintage hankies on and included the big wooden letters from last year. She has several cute little cream owls and a white polor bear on the tree.

Merry Christmas to everybody! I wish ya'll could sit here with me, and have a cup of PG Tips tea, that tea is just flat out GOOD! I am not doing anything for Christmas, the first time in 60 years, but will catch up next year. All my bills are paid and I have groceries, and that's all she wrote!!! Am grateful for everything. If you know a senior who is homebound, take him or her to a coffee shop for a cuppa and a goodie. You will have stars in your crown. XXX OOO

Loved the pictures of Monica's home at Christmas and yours too. I also have a bed like Monica's that I would be willing to part with for a good price since I don't have room for it either. I'm pretty close by if you're interested--right outside of Tyler in Bullard. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

What a wonderful idea to host cozy little parties! I think this idea could really take off for you! I love Monica's home... so cozy for a Christmas party, and trouble free for the guests, with no one being burdened with hostessing.
Best of luck in your new adventures!

Monica & Tina, Thank you SO much for the Christmas luncheon and for inviting us into your beautiful home! I have never been in such a creative home that would make Pottery Barn jealous. Hope you had an absolutely wonderful Christmas!
Happy New Year!
