Inspired By...

I've had the most miserable day today and am in dire need of a little cheering up. And since none of my best friends can join me for a night of spritz-drinking, Mamma Mia-watching, and pity-partying, I gathered this batch of happy, sparkly goodies together instead. It's no substitute for girlfriends, but sparkles have a way of always making me smile.

...festive notecards that could liven up any care package.

Available at Jess LC

...old-fashioned champagne glasses with proper party pizzazz.
