Dressed For Dinner

Anniversaries are occasions to celebrate.  Twenty-five years of marriage is a milestone and should be treated with beauty and glamour.  Silver not only represents a quarter century of wedded bliss, it can turn an ordinary table into a fabulous one.

March is “Plan-A-Party” month. Who doesn’t want to have a party and celebrate after the long winter we’ve had? It’s time to celebrate warm weather and melting snow.
