Romantic Weekend

It has been an absolutely gorgeous and romantic weekend of wedding festivities for my family and I. We traveled to Saratoga Springs, New York for the wedding of my youngest son. All the love and romance in the air was delightful. We stayed at a wonderful facility, Longfellows, that was so convenient and the staff was wonderful. If you are ever in the vicinity, I would recommend them. Saratoga Springs is a nice little town with lots of sightseeing and shops to occupy you. It was a great weekend!

(we clean up pretty good!)

So that's what has had me running in circles for the past few weeks. So happy we were able to all be there, made for some special memories.

Countdown to the Wedding

We are on the countdown to the wedding here at Patricia Rose. My youngest son is getting married on Friday, 7/9/10. This is not going on without a bit of drama, however. Son managed to require a trip to the emergency room this past week which stopped all of our hearts for a few hours. He appears to be fine now and we are watching him to be sure he behaves himself between now and Friday. At any rate, preparations are in high gear.

I was so pleased to have the kids ask me to paint their toasting glasses. I managed to find some gorgeous vintage crystal goblets and have put the bride's colors in the flowers. Hope they like them!

This week's Make Mine Pink Friday theme is Coastal and Casual Chic. Sounds like this could be fun. Due to the wedding, Patricia Rose will not be participating but please make sure to visit all the other boutiques that are. I will be participating the following Friday as usual.

Don't forget the Make Mine Pink Christmas in July Shop Hop is almost here-starts July 16. If you haven't registered, it is time to go do that now. Lots of boutiques participating and the prizes are amazing!

Don't forget to mark your calendars for the Make Mine Pink Pink Twilight Sale as well. This is held the third Saturday of every month. They keep getting better and better. The selection is huge and the pace is fast. There's not a lot of time to think about your purchases. I missed out on a few really amazing deals by waiting, darn! So, July 17 is the date for that. 6PM until midnight and new things are put up all night long!

There will be a few changes to the Patricia Rose website in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for some exciting news. There will also be a few contests going on that you won't want to miss.

So until next week, have a great 'short' week, stay cool -
