Last month, one of my besties (that I went to Europe with) had a birthday a few days after we got back from our trip...
one month later, we are finally getting around to celebrating her birthday tonight. I hope it will be worth the wait, we have reservations at one of the hottest restaurants in town...
The birthday girl fell in love with Paris on our trip, so I am trying to put a Parisian twist on our night. After dinner we are stopping by a new french patisserie that just opened, for macaroons and champagne...
And I have a Parisian gift that I have been working on for a month.
First, I dug out all the euros I saved from our trip and took them to a jewelers. They have a special machine to drill a small hole in each coin and then attach a split ring....
I picked out a chain...
and the clasps...
then attached the coins to the chain...
It was really easy and so special that I had to make one for myself in silver...
ha!! I swear when I give gifts to my friends it is always one for them and one for me!!
What a thoughtful and cool gift!! Sounds like the perfect night out!!
