I didn’t realize this originated in the US. We actually had to delay our trip to Kazakhstan to adopt last year because of this holiday. Nobody works for 3 days so we would not have had a driver or translator and the orphanage director was not working either. It’s not exactly my favorite holiday because of that. LOL!

Yes, that would be a bad connotation…perhaps you can celebrate big next year to help wipe that from memory

Glad to see P thought ahead. Mimosas are cute, little yellow pom-poms, slighty Dr. Suessy!

You and Joe have got me curious about this Brasilena stuff! I’m going to keep my eye out for it.

The yellow thingees are awfully Dr. Suessy now that you mention it; could be why I enjoy them so! As for Brasilena, good luck finding it…it’s a native Calabrian product. Not quite D.O.P. but it should be

Hope that you had a great day! Strange the greeting card (Hallmark) industry hasn’t brought the holiday to the US yet.

Maybe there’s someone you can call Gil…get some residuals or something…and then retire in Italy!

Happy Day to you!! I love the mimosa in the bottle. It has a look of these are so beautiful and special I grabbed the first thing I could reach, not delaying one momemt to have them on display. Plus they would not have shown as well in the vase in the backround.

elizabeth’s last blog post..Just the idea of blogging is so cool

Oh that’s a lovely observation Elizabeth, and just about true as well. It definitely was the first thing I grabbed and didn’t even think about the vase until I took the photo. Duh

The mimosa is beautiful! Like Stefanie I was clueless and thought it only a yummy drink at brunch. Thanks for visiting my blog during this week of ultimate blog partying! And Happy International Women’s Day!

Thanks Robin, and thanks for coming over. See there’s always something interesting around here
