Outdoor Luncheon Wrap Up...

Once upon a time... there was a blogger name Belette and she sooooooo wanted a Westie dog. She searched high and low. She even went through a Westie adoption program. But no one could give her the Westie she sooooo desired.

One day along came fellow blogger Fifi. She read about Belette's failed attempts to find a Westie.
Fifi happened to know someone who had access to many different breeds of dogs. Fifi asked Belette if she would like some help... Belette said YES! So Fifi set about to connect Belette with the Dog Fairy.

Miracles happened and within a few weeks Lily had a new Mommy and Daddy who love her very much... Belette finally had her Westie! And Belette called Fifi "Lily's Fairy God-Blogger."

Fast forward 3 months...

Belette and Fifi hit the town together... along with Couture Savvy Lily...
to the Dog-Friendly Aroma Cafe in Studio City...
where they order delicious food from the menu...
and dine and laugh outdoors on a lovely patio with FAB weather...It was a delight to meet Belette and of course Lily... and I think Lily liked Fifi since she jumped up to say hello... is she not the cutest!!!! Anddddddddddd of course... Fifi could not resist doing a little painting of Lily from photos she snapped at lunch... I would say the story has a GREAT ending... only it is not the ENDING... but just the BEGINNING of a friendship between Belette, her dog-aughter Lily and Fifi!

I hope Susan and everyone else ENJOYS a delightful day OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY!

TOMORROW... Tablescape Thursday... Fifi will be hosting a Party for a FUN group of women who are part of a FACEBOOK group called "Fifi's FAB Follwers" and of course EVERYONE is invited who is not in the group too and we will be heading over to Petunia's for the second half of the luncheon!!!

Alsoooooooooooo... I am honoured to be interviewed my Designer Kathleen Ellis... and featured in her newsletter... pop over and learn more about Fifi and there is a GIVEAWAY!

Oh sooo gorgeous dear Fifi! MOTH & I are ready now to bring another furry friend into our lives after losing our beloved Miss Chloe last year & a little Westie would be my pick. What fun you are going to have with your little fluffy friend, you are a real fairy godmother matching up these bellas.

Ah! great story and an adorable Lily. I love the painting!

Petunia said...

Dearest Fifi:

I do live the name Lily as I have a lovely kitty named Lily. Lilies are such lovely flowers and our companions are lovely flowers to us as well!

I am quite shocked that you have not painted my Lily but, I know I have been very busy and not able to invite you around to see her so, I must suppose that would be the reason.

Anyway, again, your ability to capture a little furry love is extraordinary. I have no doubt that my Lily would be just as lovely if not lovelier than those you have already painted.

Sincerely,
Petunia who loves a love connection with a anything that does not talk.
