stella & dot party and one final plea...

Last night I hosted a Stella & Dot party.  Lots of my favourite people came and the treats were delish.  Those two things alone make for a great night as far as I am concerned but then you add the gorgeous jewellery to the equation and oh my!

Look at this stuff!  It is so beautiful, so classy and really timeless.  I pretty much want everything but I am a realistic kind of girl so I just set my sights on a goal for some "free stuff" and did my best to invite everyone I knew.

Alas, I did not reach the goal.  Here comes the shameless plea...

Can you help?
Do you need some new bling
Do you WANT some new bling??
I have until tomorrow (Thursday) to get another $190 in sales in order to earn my goal and make all my dreams come true! {well at least satisfy my latest obsession anyways..}

If you want to shop, it's really easy.  Just go to the site HERE...follow the instructions from there and it should be easy peasy.  If it is not, call me, I can walk you through it.  250-864-4194.  Thanks so much friends!

Okay, back to the party...

I was super excited to have the last minute idea to put caprese salad in cupcake papers.  I love garden fresh heirloom tomatoes, basil, bocconcini cheese drizzled with olive oil and vinegar.  My favorite summer time appetizer.  I was going "plate free" for this party so the cupcake papers worked perfectly!

Bakerella inspired these treats.  I wasn't sure  if they would taste as good as she made them look {once you see the ingredients you will understand why} but they were a huge hit.  So delicious and I will be making them again very soon!

Speaking of Bakerella, this is my go-to adaptation on her amazing cake balls.  Aren't they cute?  They look like little bon bons!
