happy egg hunt day! xo lucky penny

happy valentine’s day! xoxo lucky penny

lucky penny is out of breath… this year has been a whirlwind!

year end reflections always remind her of how lucky (excuse the pun) she is… surrounded by precious lovelies (boy bestie included) and an adoring family.

fabulous 2010 milestones that stick out in her mind… a redesigned website for her first blog birthday, 2,250 twitter followers, 1,161 facebook likes, wedding planning for a *newly* engaged lovely, her adorable little niece, pennies in yul and yvr, greener penny, and the wonderful jessica jensen naming her coin purse after our girl! *blush*

fingers crossed that cute boyfriend won’t be *too* jealous as she anticipates lacing fingers with a glass of veuve all night… and maybe a jägerbomb or two?! she promises to make it up with a new year’s kiss at the end of the countdown… 10… 9… 8…

happy last day of 2010… wishing everyone a safe night, and all the best in 2011! xo

…when all through the house

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

the stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

in hopes that st. penny claus soon would be there;

the children were nestled all snug in their beds,

while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads…

merry christmas, darlings! xo

lucky penny hit snooze for the third time. she is completely cocooned under the covers.

cooper is snoring softly next to her. cute boyfriend is brewing a fresh pot of coffee, and making his girl breakfast in bed… just like every single morning.

but today is different… it is her birthday!!!

*exactly* one year ago, two lovelies (whose fifteen year friendship started back in awkward grade seven) had an idea to pen a blog… about everything (and anything) they adore.

lucky penny loves to shop all things gorge, indulge her culinary palate, and explore the city (toronto, montreal and vancouver). these golden nuggets must only be shared amongst her nearest and dearest.

lucky penny can’t keep a secret. can you?

***psst… bandages off, lovelies… do you like the *new* face-lift? happy one-year anniversary! xo
