Willow Manor Ball 2011
There's a shindig going on over at Tess' place, and it looked so amazing that I thought I'd just have to join in!
This is my first year at the Willow Manor Ball, but thankfully she's served up a tray of Last Word cocktails as some liquid courage, and they sound divine; I'm making them asap!
Last Word Cocktail
2 oz gin,
1 oz green chartreuse
1/2 oz maraschino
1/2 fresh cut squeezed lime
shake
add a fresh bing cherry...for cuteness
Now I had a lot of trouble choosing my dress for the Willow Manor Ball, but no trouble choosing my shoes (Which I am actually intending to buy ASAP)
Now for those of you who aren't aware, I have a borderline obsession with the Wizard of Oz (And for those of you who do know, I just had a brilliant idea for another painting this week, hopefully it'll be started this time next month.)
And so I thought with such perfect Dorothy shoes, I had to bring along my little dog too.
Voila, my date;
And it wasn't easy to find anything to match the amazing shoes.
Really.
Anything.
So I'm going au naturel.
Not really;
Found here.
A bit of clash, but hey, there's some red in there, and I once said I was Queen of the Clash.
I hope to have a word with Anthony Hopkins later in the evening, I feel as though we'd have a lot in common.
Someone said Nigella's hanging around somewhere; I'll be sure to get a recipe off her for Phoebe.
The party is starting to go off, I best get back to the dancing, the Last Word Cocktails are kicking in.
Anyway, skip on over to Willow Manor and join the fun, or admire the madness.

Sorry I missed it al. Tied up in training.
Nevertheless, as a former contributor, wanted to tell you that I am closing Hot Toast and Jam so thought you might enjoy its last post. Please read to the end for surprise.
I will still be visiting just not as much (as if I have been that frequent anyway) as one might expect when hosting a personal blog, verses an art one.
