february dreams + bed day/weekend

post book launch fete musings.
last night was magical. 100 gerbera daisies. candles. chandeliers. YOU. live piano music. mood lighting. tranquilTinis. mingling off the mat. goody bags. marshmallows covered with pink sprinkles and an edible book cover. damask armwarmers. oodles of book signing topped off with stamping. even cute gota in a pink tie. yep, took my new bird and paris stamps to add a little flair to the signature. artsy photos to come from photographer patrick onofre. the true belle of the ball, louis the pug, was home with a sprained toe. boo.

today i am working from bed (see photos above) surrounded by cell phone, laptop, flowers, candles, tea mug, water bottle, and louis the pug. energy is low. to-dos are high. am setting priorities, but basking in the launch of a weekend to organize and dial it down. nature is flooding dc with snow and i am celebrating with a *bed day.* just finished a one-hour interview with marla maples which should be posted here shortly.
