And from the looks of the party, it looks as if it could have been done with little financial outlay. Food (make your own), wine (by cheap rosé), and candles (votive are so inexpensive), and the guests are responsible for their own costumes. How much trouble could that be?An Aesthete's Lamenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620941811191294750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-13642567669024597302009-03-15T12:33:00.000-04:002009-03-15T12:33:00.000-04:00How fun!

We attended a Northwest Children's Theatre production of Arabian Nights a few years ago and bought the CD. It was original music, composed and recorded on traditional Persian instruments by Iranian master musicians Hossein and Bobek Salehi. It's neat to play it when we have a special meal at home with chicken and cous Fantastic Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044290192610027408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-82365819303745528812009-03-11T10:35:00.000-04:002009-03-11T10:35:00.000-04:00Thanks, LL...

We do need to spend if we can. We do need to stimulate the economy and we need to be generous to those who need our support in this difficult time. We also need laughter, good friends and a few moments to be transported to a more joyful place.

By having this party, he was also employing a catering company, buying bolts of fabric to decorate, and myriad other small things. Each of his guests bought costumes that they might not have otherwise. It wasn't hugely gaudy or fancy and it had been planned for a long time. It was his economic stimulus.Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-79563766648063459232009-03-10T09:13:00.000-04:002009-03-10T09:13:00.000-04:00Do you people know there is a recession?
