I'm linking up tonight with a super fun blog party ... a favorite things party! The idea is to host a party, and instead of doing a white elephant gift and being sad your gift wasn't the "hot item" of the party, you bring a reasonably priced favorite thing for everyone at the party! Then you introduce your item as you pass it around explaining why it is your favorite item.
Ummmm, yes! I love this idea! I could invite all my curly haired friends over and we could do a favorite curly hair product...how fun would that be? I would pass around
It's under $5 and is fabulous!!...although I did love it better before the reformulated it...
But, if I was having a normal party, I would have to pass around
Gun Metal Hoops made in Ethiopia! This piece is handmade in Ethiopia using recycled nickel, copper, and bronze melted down from previous war weapons. Most of the artisans who created the pieces are HIV positive and receive health care and literacy training in addition to job training. I would love telling these women's story as I passed out these beautiful earrings! It is the total story of taking something that is ugly and destructive (war weapons) and turning it into beautiful and job-creating jewelry!
So, who is up for a "Favorite Things" party??

Oooh, I love this idea! I'd probably host a "favorite kitchen things" party :) I'd probably choose my handy 2 cup pyrex measuring cup or my 8 inch chef's knife. Sounds fun!!
