Yum, yum, yum!
The day before Valentine's Day we had a Cookies and Milk party for some friends and family. As I mentioned before, really it was for no other reason than I love to bake and I love to style parties. So, fun!
Ever since I saw this post, I've been wanting to have one of my own. One of my favorite details was the retro paper straws from Kikkerland. I baked probably more than 700 cookies so there was plenty for everyone to take some home with them.
The kids decorated their own heart sugar cookies.
And I made a matching hostess apron to wear. It was loosely based on the Flirty Skirty pattern.
I cannot tell you how many I ate that day and the week following. But, I could totally eat more. Like a lot more.
The favorite of all the guests was Martha's Carrot Cake Sandwiches from the Cookies book.
But the infamous NY Times Chocolate Chip ones were also very popular (and really a meal in and of themselves).

I am going to request whatever form I need to fill out in order to gain "friend and/or family" status. :-)

As if your not already beyond fabulous, you had to go and out do yourself by making a matching apron. Too cute.

Amazing eye candy. If I didn't worry about my jeans not fitting I'd want to do the same thing!

I'm going to do this as a baby shower for my friend! Where did you find the glass milk jars and the gorgeous glass canisters? Did it cost a fortune?
