A TREE THAT GROWS IN LAUREL CANYON

I'm a very lucky girl to be friends with Annie over at Apres Fete. She throws incredibly beautiful parties in her incredibly beautiful home. 

Her culinary skills are equally as incredible. I wouldn't dare bring anything edible as a hostess gift. I mean, what if I showed
up with Sprinkles and she had slaved over a three tiered Dacquoise? 
The horror! 

I started showing up with something Stila, something sparkly, something soapy. Something for Annie. 

This Sunday I showed up with a lime tree for the backyard!

I thought this hostess gift might be seasonally premature but I want the tree to be fruitful by summertime BBQ's, so I went with it.


PS. Showing up to a President's Day Dinner Party with a tree garners a LOT of attention. 

A BOOZY KIND OF LOVE.

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday.

Tequila on the rocks with a lime is my cocktail of choice. Always.

Last year's Valentines... a vellum envelope full of my favorite candy sealed with a sticker that read: 

There are plenty of fish in the sea, right?

RIGHT?

I love Swedish Fish. It used to be a problem. Apparently Swedish Fish is not a suitable entree for my pescetarianism! 

BABY SIS HEARTS HER BIRTHDAY

Birthday gift for Baby Sis looked festive and fun on the table at the restaurant.

 

I really love wrapping gifts.
