My wonderful roommates and myself have been working hard to keep in the Christmas spirit despite the fact that financially we feel desperate, and we are all working extra hard and long hours to keep afloat here in NYC. We figured we should spread the love and cheer cultivated here in Apt. 2L with our lovely friends who we don't get to see often enough. The party we hosted was a much bigger success than we could have imagined. I provided a few goodies, as well as our friend Tyler who baked some yummy goody bars and supplied the warmth in our hot toddies (not the boiled water!). We have the greatest friends here in NY; Lucas served as our toddy maker, while the wonderful Ginny provided her hostesses with the most magical of Christmas crowns with real greenery and real holly berries- (pictured above on Savannah's and my head). Ginny also provided the entertainment of the night- good old fashioned mistletoe!! It became a game- my roommate Blake and our friend Peter had a kiss-off. Pete champed Blake racking up 17 kisses vs. Blake's 5. Our friend John brought music later in the evening and of course our friends brought the dancing! I love sharing my home and my cooking with friends, I think I have inherited this from my mother, the hostess with the mostess!! I can't wait for our next get- together.xoxo
Ginny B. Stelling is also responsible for this beautiful photography. She truly captured the warmth in our apartment that night.
