There’s a big story here. It’s about this swell lady, Elizabeth, pictured above. She makes gorgeous necklaces. Also pictured above. And those necklaces need a little lookbook. So Elizabeth threw a party. And this is it.

So, a few bloggers got together to set the scene for a festive afternoon. And what’s a party without a hashtag? It was decided that it’d be #ECSHoliday. And the party was on.

There were lots of photos.

Lots of flowers.

And lots of fabulous necklaces. Which we all grabbed to get the party going.

And then we each grabbed a drink. The Blogger Bellini. Perfectly poured by Kate.

And we drank them under the prettiest garland. Expertly strung by Janee.

Elizabeth makes these great bangles too. I was half tempted to run away with this lettered one. But Fenway, the belle of the ball, probably could have caught up with me.

The necklaces were the stars of the party, but the food came in a close second.

Alaina made a delicious rosemary, bacon and white bean dip. I brought a tasty spinach and artichoke dip.

Kate share these super brie and jam pinwheel bites.

Ana brought a delightful Brazilian dish, brigadeiro. Tasting is believing.

I’ll be sharing my recipe, as seen here, next week.

Amanda brought her amazing sense of humor and this beautiful caprese salad.

And Alex whipped up these tasty peppermint whoopie pies. (As tasty as they are cute.)

The baubles were the stars though. So, don’t forget to check them out.

(Special thanks to our hosts Elizabeth & Fenway! It was wonderful sipping and socializing in your lovely home!)
