An Anniversary Party

We cobbled together our air-mile points.
We collected our Citi-rewards and bought Marriott cards.
We got our party clothes together.
I took up needlepoint and made a gift!
And then we traveled to Chicago to celebrate with the Buxoms.
It was their 25th wedding anniversary and they hired a ballroom for their nearest (and farthest) and dearest.
K and I and their family and friends celebrated in the most stunning club in the city.




There was a 16-piece orchestra which played dance music from the 40's, 50's and 60's.
They were impeccable.
The conductor was a delight to watch and listen to.

The flowers were breathtaking.
We danced, we ate wonderful food...it felt like it was everybody's anniversary.

We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

It was a beautiful party for a wonderful couple.

And what did I bring them?

A pillow I needlepointed of their pet-names.
Poppy loved it, which made me very happy.

It was a night to remember - romantic and chic, truly divine.

I would expect nothing less from the Buxoms. It looks divine!
And I am shocked by your crafting.
