\"DorothyI\u2019m picturing a busy morning over at Ace the cat\u2019s, where \u00a0preparations for his Oscar Party are well underway. I see that Steve, Ace\u2019s human, is done posting his Annual Movie Page<\/a>, and is heading out to buy more milk. \u00a0Ace\u2019s other human, Dorothy, is making a few more flower pins<\/a>\u00a0and then will finish tidying up.\u00a0Ace, of course, is hard at work, too: He\u2019s taking a bath.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also picturing Charlotte, as she and Daisy board a plane for San Francisco. (She\u2019s due to head home from Mexico in a few days anyway, and Ace\u2019s party\u2019s on the way. Plus, she\u2019d just hate to miss the fun!)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what else I see…<\/p>\n

When Charlotte and Daisy arrive, Ace answers the door, in his handsome gray tux.<\/p>\n

\"Oscar<\/p>\n

He ushers them both inside, where an impressive buffet awaits.<\/p>\n

\"Oscar<\/p>\n

The Awards go off without a hitch, and Billy Crystal is in great form. Soon the humans toddle off to bed, and things\u00a0really<\/em> start to swing.<\/p>\n

\"Disco<\/p>\n

When the other cats and mice finally leave, Ace shows Charlotte and Daisy to their special guest quarters. Surprise! It’s a soft bed made from Dorothy\u2019s hand-sewn flowers (Charlotte\u2019s favorite).<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

In the morning, Charlotte and Daisy are out the door early, leaving Ace to his job of sorting all that lovely floral inventory. \u2014And also leaving him to wonder: Was it all a dream?<\/p>\n

\"Dorothy<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, I\u2019ve<\/em> been dreaming about Dorothy Designs<\/a>. \u2014Ever since this pretty red rose I ordered from her Etsy shop arrived. Dorothy\u2019s an old and dear friend, and does beautiful work. Do visit her shop sometime…so many pretty things to see!<\/p>\n

\"DorothyHave a fun Oscar Sunday, Everyone\u2014and good luck with your party, Ace! Charlotte and Daisy, we\u2019ll see you both soon…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
