Over the weekend we celebrated Rico's Birthday with a Cocktail Party. His actual birthday is at the end of December but with all the Christmas and then New Years stuff we usually wait until the end on January for a party. There were about 50+ people and it was lots of fun. I think Rico went reeling off to bed at about midnight and I got to bed after 1am as I will not go to bed to wake up to a gigantic mess. I did a lot of preliminary cleaning and Theresa, a friend of Rico's, was up from Monterey and was a big help also. She took on the mantel of "Bouncer" and was there to "make sure nothing got out of hand!!"
On Sunday I got to go the Legion of Honor's Exclusive Exhibition from Le Petite Trianon. What a spectacular show!! There was some gorgeous stuff and it is amazing that it is here in this country.
Marie Antoinette a la Rose, 1783
There was some spectacular things.... painting, sculpture, furniture and even a piece of jewellery. Here are some chairs from her bedroom, called the Trellis Bedroom. This suite of furniture is called "Wheat Ear" due to the carving of natural wheat, pine cones and vine decoration.
Last night I worked on Quaker Christmas and made it to the bottom right corner
and will work up the right side. Here is a snap of the progress.
Thanks for stopping by!!!
Take care,
