The season of Valentine's is not just for celebrating romantic relationships, but friendships as well. Every year the ladies in my life throw a Galentine's Day party for each other, & it is becoming my favorite part of the holiday season as a whole. This year, I had the honor of hosting, & it was a blast! Everyone brought a box of their favorite tea & we had a "tea exchange," like a cookie exchange at Christmas time, but with tea bags. I themed the decor mostly around what I had: books (of course) & a set of family china I inherited as a wedding gift. I did buy flowers, which are expensive this time of year, but it was worth it. Oh, I also bought a white plastic table clothe for a few bucks. Anyway, it all came together in a lovely way, & most importantly, we all had a great time. I went a little crazy with the photography (in the best way), so I'll share more.

Happy Valentine's week! I hope you enjoy celebrating all the relationships in your life.
