This is a scene from the best kind of girls night.

Cookie making abandoned, uncorked bottles of wine, appetizers devoured.

The intent was to make a “holiday craft”, bake cookies, and bring together different groups of our host’s friends. The result? We did actually make ornaments but why bake when you can gossip about Twilight, in-laws, holiday plans, where to find the perfect sequin dress and eat cookie dough from a bucket?!? It was such a wonderful evening and it confirms that my friend’s impeccable taste in home design and style extends to friends- I met really, really great girls last might.

Oh and that holiday craft? It totally happened, in the form of a glitter pinecone ornament. A nice a addition to our tree, if I do say so myself!
