Happy New Year 2023!

New Year's Eve Sarasota, Florida

Happy New Year everyone. And yes, Sarasota drops a pineapple at midnight. How fun is that? It was a picture perfect night here - warm, clear, and with the skies lit up with fireworks in every direction.

Does anyone do New Year's resolutions? I saw a survey that just came out on New Year's resolutions. Do you know what is number one this year? Therapy. It topped the list in twelve states including here in Florida. The data was compiled by Google Trends. Here they are so you can check your state. Therapy is obviously a serious issue precipitated in part by the pandemic. But a few states made me chuckle - topping the list in South Dakota is Quit Drinking. And number one in New Mexico is Get A Raise. Number one in Arkansas is Read More - meanwhile their education system is the 9th worst state in the nation.

I'm just looking forward to another great year here, and another year of Chinoiserie Chic - I am coming up on 14 years of Chinoiserie Chic this Spring. Thank you all for following and the happiest of New Years.
