Happy Thankgiving Thursday!

Am having laptop issues so it's a very short post for now....

.....we awoke to thick frost on the cars today.....took some work to convince my son that it wasn't actually snow and definitely whatever it was, there wasn't enough to build a snowman before school! The week-end is supposed to bring snow so we'll see....

.....for many years I used to visit NYC every winter and a cold winter's day will still make me dream of the crowds on Fifth Avenue, huge sandwiches and the best cheesecake ever at Carnegie Deli, the ice skaters at Rockefeller Plaza, fabulous Christmas decorations, hot coffee and pretzel sellers on every corner....I do love NYC!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US readers!

A little thanks of my own for the American Male (apologies for the spacing).... 

Happy Thursday!

Friday Fabulousness....

That fabulous Friday feeling....

Fabulous words....

The Friday Squeeze....the very handsome Jon Hamm....I have to confess that I have not yet seen "Mad Men"....so Mr Hamm was recommended to me by my lovely friends Millie and dustjacketattic....clearly these girls are on to something....

The most fabulous bedroom ever? Where do you even start....those windows, that bed, the chandelier....I would never leave....

Fabulous freedom....remember how good this felt when you were little? Sometimes the only thing to do is jump....

Fabulous and glamorous....beautiful Natalia....

Fabulously girly....the prettiest dress....

The most fabulous flowers.....just divine....

Fabulously poised and so feminine....I love this image....

Fabulous dinner location....

Fabulously figure hugging....

The most fabulous ice ever....

Fabulously colourful....

Fabulous bride....what an amazing dress....

The most fabulously sparkly shoes, how gorgeous would you feel in these? When I was little I used to place my new shoes next to my bed so that they would be the first thing I would see when I woke up....I think I would be tempted to do that with these....

Fabulously beautiful....

Fabulous photography....the stunning Gemma Ward....

Fabulous fairy princesses....almost ready....

Fabulous lighting....LOVE this!

Friday treat.....Strawberry Zinfandel Trifle....heaven in a bowl!

The perfect way to wind down on a Friday evening....fabulous....

.....and then the perfect place to relax and let the cares of the week float away....room to chat, drink and dance.....do join me....we''ll stay up until dawn....

Another week has flown by.....I must say thank you so much to the lovely people who have given me special mentions on their blogs this week......to the many people who have left me some wonderful and very kind comments.....as my son would say, "thank you for making me nice"....and to the people who have just started following me this week.....a huge thank you....I wish you all a fabulous week-end....

....I would not be the girl jumping into the water....I'm a scaredy-cat when it comes to some things....even that crystal clear water wouldn't tempt me....but doesn't it look exhilarating?

....Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall for W magazine....great photo shoot....

Another week gone....and tomorrow school is over for another year and we have almost six weeks holidays....yippee!

....as of today, my son is no longer a preschooler....he's a "big school boy"....in September he will be joining his sister at her school...he's also a big Dr Seuss fan....

Oh the places you'll go....my precious little man who went to preschool today in his "fastest" shoes and his Superman costume....

Off to see "Toy Story 3" tomorrow after school breaks up....a great party to go to on Saturday night with our best friends....swimming and a picnic on Sunday....am reading "Eat, Pray, Love" right now, just finished Italy, now on to India....:)

Thank you for your wonderful comments this week....

have a fabulous week-end!

....gorgeous photos of Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall from W magazine this week....

....since I'm not eating it right now, I may at least look at it....yum!

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments this week, particularly yesterday....you all said very wise and lovely things, all of which I really appreciated.

This week-end I have nothing planned....nothing at all....very unusual for me....and absolute bliss....!

It is our last one before the school hols starts though so I will make the most of it....and hope to spend rather a lot of it drinking tea and reading....wish me luck!

Happy Week-end!
