I've almost always enjoyed Valentine's Day (I know, insert groan here, I'm that annoying person who genuinely likes Valentine's Day), but
Galentine's Day is pretty up there for me now, too.
I went to a Galentine's soiree Friday night at my friends' Emmy and Michele's house, and it was a girliness explosion in the best way possible. Otherwise known as right up my alley.
A gift exchange, brunch foods, pink champagne, heart decorations everywhere, and no dudes. Amy Poehler would fully approve.
It was quite difficult to give the gift I had brought to someone else. Mainly because it was a cupcake bath bomb (complete with a tiara on top) and a vintage ceramic unicorn figurine. I chose two of the most obnoxiously feminine gifts I could find, so of course, I wanted them. I picked up both gifts at a local shop called
The Regal Find, a vintage-meets-handmade store that's my new obsession.
But the gift I received was definitely on par - candy, candy, candy, and a large tub of egg-free, edible cookie dough. It's almost gone.
So, here are some photos that represent my Galentine's Day experience. Yay for ladies.

This is a Wisconsin-inspired trivet I made at the party. Of course, Coco had to get in on the action. Maybe I should have just named this blog post, "Two Adorable Pictures of Cats." |
