Valerie's Birthday Party

I have a birthday party to attend tonight for Steven's sister, Valerie.  She is spending a few days in DC before returning to Dallas and today happens to be her birthday.  There is a small gathering planned for this evening at the Dewey Street address.  I picked up a few things for this soiree today during an errand run.

Since we are all so consumed with social media these days, I thought she would get a kick out of this card.

I even personalized it for her.
I picked up a luscious Robiola Bosina Alta Langa.  This is a fresh, soft ripened cheese made with two milks: cow and sheep’s milk. Square shaped, each cheese is individually wrapped, therefore easy to handle. Soft, creamy and lightly fragrant due to the delicate balance of the two milks. It is important to serve at room temperature in order to better savor the fullness of it’s taste. From the Piedmont region.  The English Fig fruit puree will compliment the cheese perfectly.  We will serve this on freshly baked and sliced baguette.

 
Some Tutti Fruity from Lush.  This box contains Miranda Soap (divinely fruity hand and body soap, with fresh, organic kiwi fruit and reviving bergamot and myrrh essential oils), and a Happy Hippy Shower Gel (mellow-yellow hair and body gel with freshly squeezed grapefruits.)  The Cheesecake Caramels from Dean & Deluca are self-explanatory -- AND delicious.

I put this cute sticker on a little pink giftbag I got from CVS to present her gifts.


I also picked up some watermelon sald and tomatoes and mozzarella salad from the deli at Dean & Deluca.  Should be a fun time for all!
