Farewell to my Roaring 20’s

We had a Great Gatsby-inspired celebration to say farewell to my “Roaring 20’s” over the weekend.

My friends and family are such great sports when I ask them to dress up and I’m so thankful for having such amazing loved ones.

The french macarons were homemade by my friend Ethel and the oreo cake pops and white cholocate dipped pretzels were homemade by my friend Shell.  I keep telling them, they should open up their own bakery because they were soo good!  The tiramisu cake was purchased at Mary’s Bakery in Fremont.

This picture highlights my awesome Great Gatsby- inspired tiara.  I bought it from a family-owned business online, HV Sterling Co.

In addition to dressing up, we also had a prohibition-themed cocktail bar.

After drinks, we had dinner at SP2, a San Jose restaurant that sources locally (the food was great!).  It was a great spot to book because they were so accommodating to such a large party.

Most of the pictures from the festivities are courtesy of my dear friends Jenn and Jeremy (check out their blog: BellyBound) and you can tell which ones were taken with my phone LOL!

 

I had an amazing time at my party.  If you have any questions about the decorations, desserts and/or libations, let me know!  I couldn’t have pulled this together without the help of my friends and of course, the best boyfriend and my favorite Shift Local activist, Marc 🙂
