Best Friends Day


Best Friend necklaces caused a lot of problems for me in middle school. Lauren Pallotta had one with Katie Cuff and I was so jealous, I could barely see straight. Katie and I got a "Friends Forever" necklace but it wasn't the same. I went in search for Best Friend necklaces, wondering if they were still wreaking havoc on middle schools and causing girl drama around the nation. Tiffany & Co. should add some sterling silver ones to their collection, the $11.99 pewter one I just ordered as a gift for Ashley's second annual thirtieth birthday will likely turn green and this idea has a lot of potential to come back into style.


June 8th was Best Friends Day (some made up holiday that I am happy to blog about). I'm so sorry I missed it. Our designer Jeanne Streiff created three unique gifts to celebrate this superfluous yet fabulous holiday. She created a treat bag by stamping with PSA Rosettas and Smirk Caffeine Confidents.


























She also created colorful gift wrap. She stamped from PSA Rosettas in different color inks! What a pretty package.





















She created a candle, fun to give as a gift. She's also used Smirk Caffeine Confidents and PSA Rosettas. I love the layering here!

  3. Totally forgot about BFF necklaces! It was also a struggle to choose who got to wear "Best" and who got to wear "Friends". Such a dilemma.

    I could go for a little hershey kisses package right about now - mid-morning snack!

  4. I would have to say my husband is my best friend. He is always there for me. He is always up for hanging out with me even if it is something he has no interest in. For example, a few months back there was a scrapbooking show that I really wanted to go to. It was down town Portland and I will not drive down there by myself. He went with me so I could go and we spent about 4 hours there without a complaint. Lord knows, he would have liked to be anywhere but there.
