Party time!

One thing I love about being a decorator and blogger is that my decorating and blog peeps know how to party! Woot! Tonight, I’m going to a party at one of the houses on the Glebe House Tour that I told you about over at DesignTies. There are going to be lots of decorators and designers there, including my TBBs Donna, Lisa, Sonya, Maureen, MaryAnne, and Nicole. And Katharine from GirlaboutOtown is going to give a presentation. I’m really looking forward to going back to this beautiful home and meeting the gracious homeowner and our hostess for the evening, Kellie.

 

Then on Saturday, I’m heading to Toronto to attend the Canadian Design Bloggers Meetup.

Vitania at Verdigris Vie originally came up with the idea of organizing a get-together for design bloggers, and it’s evolved into a huge event! Vitania and Danielle from dress, design & decor are putting together what’s sure to be a fantastic party at Hotel le Germain.

More than 50 bloggers are going to be there, and I’m excited to be one of them :-) Nervous too, because I know I’m going to be surrounded by so many beautiful and talented ladies! I’m looking forward to meeting my blog buddies Vitania, Shannon, Staci, Vanessa, and Wendy, just to name a few. And I’m also looking forward to meeting and making lots of new blog buddies :-)

The evening will include food, drinks, door prizes, giveaways, a few intriguing speeches, and some possible special guests. Hmmmm… I wonder what Sarah Richardson & Michael Bublé are doing Saturday night? ;-)

And if that that isn’t enough partying, plans for the first annual Ottawa Design Network Group Christmas Cocktail party are in full swing. It’s going to be another fantastic evening of mingling with awesome decorators & designers, and I can’t wait!

Whew! Throw three or four Christmas parties into the mix, and that’s a lot of partying over the next few weeks! Which has got me thinking about party decorating. Which has got me thinking about event planner extraordinaire, former Olympian Preston Bailey. I’m not even going to think about how much one of his designs costs. If you haven’t seen Preston’s work before, your eyes might explode out of your head. Ready?

  

     

Just a few little low-key, intimate affairs ;-) I'll have some far more more attainable party decorating ideas for you soon!

And speaking of parties, don’t forget to sign up for the Bake-N-Blog: Holiday Edition blog party that’s happening on Wednesday, December 1st. Click here for all the details.
