This week has been such a fun and crazy whirl-wind of activities and prep leading up to our big Pickling event with Anthropologie on Wednesday night. It was such a deliciously fun night and I am eager to share all of the photos and VIDEO with you. If you want a sneak peek head over to Instagram and check out the hashtag #anthroevents. As for today...thank goodness it's Friday! We are heading to a baby birthday party this weekend with lots of friends and a bit of time by the pool. I sure hope you have something fun and relaxing planned! Here is a delicious and beautiful cocktail recipe for a Raspberry Sparkler that might just go perfectly with your weekend. Cheers!
