BY INVITATION ..... SOME ENCHANTED EVENING ..........

Tina of The Enchanted Home has invited the members of By Invitation to a virtual Christmas party. It's big, it's lavish and, our hosts are moving heaven and earth to make it the party of the season.


Of course, this means that I've got to sort out something to wear so, I am telling you this in complete confidence, and you must swear that you won't tell anyone what I'm going to wear,  just in case someone else decides to copy my posh frock !!





 Now, tell me which one I should wear .....






Should it be this snowy white number ? ..........



or, this grey satin creation .....



with matching hat .....





and, lacy, crystal cuffs ? You choose.




Shoes to match .....



Oh, I have got these cuffs ..... which do you think ?




feather and crystal bag .....





make up ..... sorted .....





and, a coat as it could be chilly.
We also need to take a hostess gift .....




My gift is this Caroline Swift Christmas antique finished platinum glass bauble. with glass droplet from an antique chandelier and other tiny treasures .....




packaged beautifully in snowy white paper.

Now all I have to do .....




is collect Mr Home from work, so that I can sober him up and get him ready too !!!! ha ha



Don't forget to go over to Marsha @ Splenderosa for links to all of the other attendees and to see what they will be wearing.

    you always have the best posts! Poor Mr Home to be forever chronicled for his "just wanting to have fun". A guy's gotta let loose every now and then too. I think he let a little too much loose though! Love the silver creation! Not sure about the hat though. You have such gorgeous locks you should not cover them up! Those cuffs are to die for! I wonder if they would go with sweats....

    Yes, you DO always have the best posts, J. The deco gown with the little head piece is simply to die for, but so are all your accessories and the makeup is the touch of whimsy we all need to keep from being taken so seriously. Beautiful perfection down to the coat. And, those gifts? Who wouldn't love to receive that beautiful little ornament, which looks like one-of-a-kind. Merry Christmas, lovie...I'm so happy you're my friend....

    Thanks for that chuckle...but it was a little too early for that sight!....
    OK....I vote for the grey satin with the hat and those to die for cuffs!
    Have fun this holiday season Jackie...it seems you are off to a good start!

    Hello Jackie:
    There is no doubt about what you should wear.....the black frilly underwear......the glittery Jimmy Choos.....your sparkling personality.......your winning smile........ and Mr Home on your arm. Perhaps the coat might be a good idea as the weather has turned rather chilly!!!

    We wish you the happiest and most sparkling of times wherever you may be invited!!

    Oh, you did me in with the last picture! I was in la-la fairy princess, Cinderella at the Christmas Ball land, and then BAM!...but I think that crystal and feather bag would help me to recover nicely, so if you could be a doll and send it on to me in the post when you're finished with it all will be right in Christmas dreamland again. ;)
    And oh yes, definitely the Snowy White number...I think it's what a modern Marie Antoinette would have worn...it's *enchanting*!
