Like Christmas in February

The Favorite Things party last night was so so so much fun. I didn't know many of the people there, but found connections with different people quickly based on our favorite things! One of my favorite things is a good pair of socks- no holes in the toes- so I brought that to share along with homemade cards (I can't approach scrapbooking, but card-making seems much more doable). I thought that was fairly original, but someone else had the same idea! Who would have thought that hole-free socks were such a sought-after commodity?

Plus, in addition to sharing my favorite things, I got to take home other people's favorite things, and I scored big! My two favorites were The Sweetest Softest Bath Pillow on Earth from Bath and Body Works

and this super cute multi-purpose tin containter from IKEA

How fun is that? And the best thing about it all was that it was just a party for the sake of having a party. No distant relative's obligatory birthday party, no awkward meet your neighbors BBQ, and nobody selling anything. While those parties can be great fun, too, sometimes you just need to party because you can party. So, in light of the popular recommendations from a few weeks ago, I highly recommend doing something just because you can... it can be the most fun of all!
