This year we opted out on a gift exchange with one of our besties, M. We are all broke and decided to have a nice dinner together rather than buy presents. So we had a lovely dinner party at our place. C made her most amazing batch of baked ziti with homemade marinara, crusty garlic bread and a great salad. Yum! M brought over homemade sangria and blueberry cobbler. She is from Alabama and knows how to make killer cobbler.
I didn’t get too many pictures because we were having such a nice time that I forgot. Here are a few.
The Hello Kitty tree is coming down asap!
the feast
Not sure if this vase was my Nana’s or Great Grandma’s (it is hand painted and reads ‘San Diego 1949’)
Saying our farewell’s
I wore a sage colored skirt from Anthropologie, a royal blue t-shirt, my brown t-strap heels by Contessa, beige over-the-knee socks and a vintage baby blue cashmere sweater with bead and crystal detailing. C wore here black and white gingham button down and jeans.
Hope the new year is treating you all well thus far.
Ciao Torrebelle
