{weekend notes}

A new baby nephew was by far the sweetest highlight of 2020 // we had an intimate sip + see to celebrate my sister + Cameron

My eyelet top is on sale and under $20 today. I linked a bunch of cute options. Sharing all the details today…..

We kicked off the weekend with one of my all time favorite Christmas Traditions……

Rick’s Desserts + a drive through the Fab 40’s to look at the the Christmas lights + beautiful homes.

I was sad the State Capital tree lights weren’t on? Kinda odd, right? Still so pretty either way.

On Saturday, my mom + Bailey + I threw a small intimate sip + see for my sister and her newest (and final) baby boy, Cameron.

I got so many messages about these ombre bottle brush trees. Sadly, they are Pier 1 last year and sold out. I did find a similar option here: Ombre Bottle Brush Tree

We tried greenery to the balloon strings. Total pain in the ass, but I’m all about the little details. And I LOVE how it turned out. My mom is the succulent QUEEN! Her hens + chicks grow wild so these all came from her yard.

And the snacks, my fave part…..

Bubble bar.

My wine chiller is actually a utensil holder…lol. Add ice and it works GREAT! Champagne glasses were borrowed from my mom’s bestie, but I found some identical ones that I linked below. Then for the juices, I used Pomegranate + Orange + lemonade. The pom was a hit!

SHOP: White Porcelain Utensil Holder | Glass Carafe with Lid | Everyday Champagne Flutes

Sugar cookies are from a local downtown bakery, Stirred, Not Shaken Cookies. And the cute little Christmas cookies came from Target. I found them in a box on an end cap. Again, the little details are my jam.

This was another labor of love. The presentation was 100% worth it. I found these adorable wooden cones on Amazon. Rolled up salami + sliced cheddar + peppered parmesan cheese + dried apricots + roasted nuts (made by my mom). Then used fresh herbs from our herb garden to decorate the patter with.
