The Envelope Please


I hope you enjoy the 83rd Academy Awards this weekend! For a yummy Oscar dinner, I suggest this classic from The Silver Palette and plenty of good champagne! You can cast your vote on the New York Times ballot here. Cheers!

  3. What a fun surprise - thank you for the link!! The pasta dish sounds delicious!! Didn't know about the Times ballot - don't know if I can vote since I haven't seen many of the movies! I'll be voting in the fashion category :-)

  5. Hi Q!

    I should add your other link as well "Fancy a Flute?" I'm a "saucer" gal myself!
    It's so close this year. I think The Social Network might nab best movie though The King's Speech will win in many other categories... hopefully, Colin Firth for best actor - he's such a star! I'm not sure how the Academy can snub the movie about Facebook considering all that has happened in the world lately! Here's your other fabulous link:

    I love Gruau's illustrations. They pop back into my stratosphere like good fashion does!
