magical moonlight...paths of starlight!...
the swishing of 
& the perfect glow of 
somewhere sigh.
a flurry of preparations...the artistic consult with K-Bug...queen of intelligent design in all matters of dress...tonight i wear my heart on my sleeve
& on my skirt!...pieces of love letters swirl with me...
& on my skirt!...pieces of love letters swirl with me...Little Man, our resident weather expert, has assured me of perfect fall skies under a glorious harvest moon, just for us, tonight!
the last minute details...shoes...to wear or not to wear? or, maybe both! wear them..shed them ~ when the moment is right!
my hair...in a twist, that at a moment's notice can fly free when the tempo of the music quickens...
flowers...perfect autumn wildflowers...
(thank you D., for the perfect bouquet...,
just in time...
& the perfect colors!)...or the delicate morning glory...
weave into my hair or wear on my wrist...?

i know...i will make my very fast & tasty canapes...they will look quite humble next to Leslie's luscious treats, but they will keep the dancers on their toes & they will also perform the double duty of my What's Cooking Wednesday contribution for the Fairy Blogmother...
PERFECT PARMESAN CANAPES
*mix fresh shredded parmesan cheese with enough mayonnaise to keep it together & spread easily*add finely diced red onion & fresh ground pepper to taste
*spread mixture on cocktail rye bread
*bake at 400 for ~5 minutes...cool...& enjoy!
tonight i am foot loose & fancy free...i have told the dear coachman that i will not need the carriage...rather i have decided to make my way through the enchanted passages
to the delicious ballroom on my Vespa!
...let my streamers flutter in the wind...maybe, just maybe my hair will come down for the ride

You are a vision!
How lovely your dress and how
lucky you are to be coming to the
ball on a Vespa..I once drove
a Vespa into a swimming pool...
thankfully I was not wearing
a ball gown or glass slippers.
