Congratulations to Jackson Goetze!

We are proud to announce that Jackson is officially a Black Belt First Degree.

  As working mothers we still have jobs outside of our P.O.S.H. lives that extend to our families and children. 

Jack has worked hard with the support of family and grandparents for almost three years to achieve this goal.  It has taken approximately 39,720 hours of practice, 17 belt tests, hundreds of broken boards, one broken nose, 5 regional tournaments, 4 national tournaments and 13,240 miles on the family car.  Jack has met all requirements to become an instructor and will be testing for that soon. 

Congratulations from your POSH Family!!!

In true P.O.S.H. fashion we decided to throw a little party to celebrate. And the way Jack wanted to mark this special day was with sushi...so sushi we did!  

It seemed only fitting that we would use our P.O.S.H. China collections and our perfectly portioned Asian Influence China to do so.  We combined the aspect of sushi with the idea of earning the black belt and came up with a black belt themed sushi party incorporating pieces from classic china to black and red dishes to Asian inspired china pieces.  The outcome was just what you would imagine any party with this theme to be and was the perfect way to celebrate such a great accomplishment.

For our table design, we used the white Asian influence china with a black charger to symbolize the black belt, and added a red dish to tie in the dragon themed linens which pulled the entire look together.  In the end, it was a fun way to combine all aspects of the theme and made for an even better celebratory dinner for Jack!

Weekend Checklist: December To-Do's

1. What's a holiday dinner without pecan pie? As soon as we tasted this Drunken Nut from Bishop Art's Emporium Pies, there was no competition. Free of syrup and made with Texas pecans and shortbread crust - need we say more? Order it at Emporium Pies.
2. Rosenthal and Versace provide a holiday china collector's plate annually. It's a priceless addition to your personal collection. Read more here. 
3. The weather outside (in Texas at least) has finally turned cold. Our fingers are crossed that it stays chilly through through the holidays, but what we really wish for is a white Christmas. Images via Pinterest. 
4. Vogue: The Editor's Eye is already on our coffee table. (You can pick one up at Forty Five Ten.) However, it's the documentary by the same name on HBO that has our DVR working overtime. We can't get enough of Polly, Grace, and the rest of inimitable fashion editors that have made Vogue more than just a fashion magazine. Learn more here. 
5. The window displays at Neiman Marcus are have the fun of shopping, especially during Christmas hours when Santa shows up. 
6. We love the Dallas Theater Center, and who can pass up the Charles Dickens classic? 
7. The Trains at NorthPark exhibition is a whimsical, educational, and traditional part of Dallas' holiday celebrations. Presented by the Bank of Texas and benefiting Ronald McDonald House of Dallas, this is the perfect family excursion while shopping 'til you drop at NorthPark. More info here.
