Happy New Year! I hope you’re recovering nicely from an evening of champagne, party horns and a midnight kiss!
Instant Replay: 2012
January: Enjoyed Madison’s Restaurant Week. Purchased a blue scarf that’s still one of my favorites. Displayed the brass pineapple Dave bought me for Christmas 2011.
February: Wore a lot of coral-colored items. Celebrated Valentine’s Day. Splurged on a weekly bouquet of tulips.
March: Went to Fort Lauderdale. Collected shells at Blowing Rocks Preserve in Jupiter, Florida. Lounged beachside.
April: Wore sparkly shoes for date nights. Had the most wonderful lavender cocktail in Milwaukee. Said goodbye to my childhood home.
May: Went out for cocktails after the farmers’ market. Enjoyed a bouquet of birthday flowers. Visited Louisville, Kentucky (and fell in love with the south).
June: Rode on a carousel. Loved this image on a downtown food truck. Went to the carnival in search of cotton candy.
July: Spent the afternoon on a friend’s boat. Shared a drink. Enjoyed four fireworks displays.
August: Celebrated my cousin’s marriage. Stopped in Lake Geneva for an impromptu afternoon escape. Dipped my toes in the pool.
September: Purchased a pair of glittery loafers. Admired fall color. Cheered for the Badgers.
October: Reveled in fall decor. Watched the leaves fall. Masqueraded as Holly Golightly for Halloween.
November: Traveled to Washington, D.C. Spent a week at the nation’s capital. Sipped seasonal beverages.
December: Picked out our Christmas tree. Decked the halls. Wished you a happy holiday.
Thanks for following along and making 2012 a year to remember! I’d love to keep in touch with you on Instagram @bedknobsandbaubles.
Bauble of the Week
This J.Crew necklace is next up on my must-have list. Orange is certainly a bold option, but it’ll be lovely with spring brights and nautical stripes.
Cocktail Countdown
Ring in the new year with a cocktail countdown! Five drinks in one night might be a little ambitious. I’d rather start with one today and work through the list one day at a time, ending on New Year’s Day. It’s a festive way to celebrate without the risk of detox.
5. Rosemary Gin Fizz – A sparkly drink that takes minutes to make and packs a punch
4. In the Pink – A blend of grapefruit, pomegranate and a generous splash of vodka (make this one ahead of time and keep it in a pitcher)
3. Bakewell Sour – A cherry-laden dessert drink
2. Bittersweet Negroni – A kumquat garnish adds an unexpected twist to a classic concoction
1. Cans of Sofia – If you make it this far, you’ll appreciate the ease of opening a can of bubbly
Cheers!
