"Every time you open a bottle of champagne, it's a celebration, so there's no better way of starting a celebration than opening a bottle of champagne. Every time you sip it, you're sipping from all those other celebrations. The joy accumulates over time." 

-David Levithan


Wishing you a wonderful New Year—to 2017!


Birthday

Thursday, August 18, 2016


Celebrating a big birthday tonight in Seattle with my hard-working husband, and so looking forward to popping a bottle of bubbly before the fall semester starts! 

P.S. If you're in the Pacific Northwest, please join us at a recital of Die schöne Müllerin this weekend
(it's the real reason we're in town).

Whatever you celebrate and whoever you're spending it with, I hope you're having a very merry holiday!


Fête

Monday, August 18, 2014


It may be Monday, but I have no intention of letting that spoil my birthday celebrations-I'm thinking cake for breakfast, a gift or two to myself and a romantic dinner with my husband!


Tell me, what are your birthday traditions? Do you love donuts, indulge in BBQ or toast with Champagne, perhaps?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Friday, February 14, 2014


“The only bubble in the flat champagne of February is Valentine’s Day. It was no accident that our ancestors pinned Valentine’s Day on February’s shirt: he or she lucky enough to have a lover in frigid, antsy February has cause for celebration, indeed.” 
Tom Robbins

So pop open a bottle of brut rosé, curl up with someone special and have yourself a very wonderful Valentine's Day-cheers!

Happy Holidays!

Monday, December 23, 2013


My baby brother just arrived in DFW and my Mama's close on his heels, so I'm signing off for the week. I'll be taking this time to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, but I'll be back before the New Year with one gorgeous week of inspiration you won't want to miss. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday, and all the best in 2014-cheers!
