It was a busy weekend chez femme.
Our next door neighbor had passed away on the 9th, peacefully in her sleep, a few months shy of her 100th birthday. Saturday was her funeral and the huge family gathering that followed at her house. She was a sweet and lovely lady, and we will miss her.
Yesterday was our extended family Chanukah get-together at MIL’s (who makes the best latkes evah!) I know, Friday was the actual last day of the official observance, but this was the only day that we could get the whole clan together.
So for your reading enjoyment, some favorites from the last few days:
A Femme d’un Certain Age has rounded up some Dernier Moments gift suggestions (including some by yours truly) here, here, and here.
LPC at ~Privilege gets the lowdown on cashmere selection and care, in an interview with The Cashmere Queen.
That’s Not My Age chronicles the Return of Posh (hint, it’s not referring to a Spice Girls reunion)
Une femme is now seriously craving a Breton stripe top, and the figure to wear it.
Audi, guest posting at Already Pretty, says “Yes You Can Wear Hats!!!”
And Sal shows us some fabulous Jewelry Makeovers.

You are too wonderful, you really are.
As Sal said, I too am so honored. But the best part for me is I got to drink hot chocolate with you at Angelina’s. We must do that again soon.
I hope you had a peaceful holiday filled with love and joy.
Merci encore & encore,

Psst, Pseu. Breton shirts look good on everyone. And I mean everyone.
Do not for a moment believe that horizontal stripes are a no-no for anyone who isn’t shaped like Jean Seberg. There’s even scientific proof! http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/sep/12/slimming.stripes
(Pardon the ugly link)
Just check out all your liks you posted – I found some new blogs to add to my reading list.
THanks for stopping by and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Pseu, thank you so much. Happy Holidays and Cashmere for all:). LPC.
Woo hoo! A dual shout-out … I’m honored, beautiful.
Merci & thank you Deja Pseu for mentioning me on your blog – I am truly honoured!
Happy Holidays.

You’ll miss your nice neighbour but must admit that dying peacefully in one’s sleep, at home in bed, at almost 100 is not exactly the worst way or time to go. We should all be so lucky!
Glad you had a nice holiday with family. And latkes made well are wonderful.

Where Already Pretty and I live, we have little choice but to wear some kind of hat in the depths of winter! (Her cats and mine are already suited out in head-to-tail fur).
Enjoy the rest of the holiday season – Joyeuses fêtes!
I love the Breton stripe as well. I own a few from LL Bean which I wear in the spring with Khaki slacks.
Thank you do much for your vote of approval! Wishing you an abundance of quality cashmere in 2010!
