Mine was top-ten, great in every way. Nothing beats spending time with family and friends. Mine were extra giving this year...I was fortunate enough to receive a turquoise flannel shirt, turquoise Converse sneakers, several beautiful pieces of turquoise jewelry, a cool turquoise clutch, a super cozy turquoise scarf, turquoise cookware and utensils...and this fab Marimekko Lehtimaja shower curtain I've been lusting over forever! I live in an apartment, so a cute shower curtain makes all the difference in my tiny generic bathroom! (Not that I'm complaining about that aqua blue tile!)
