Happy White Day!

In certain parts of Asia, March 14th every year is celebrated by men giving sweets to their girls since Valentine’s Day on February 14th is marked by women giving gifts to their guys.  What happens in gay and lesbian relationships I wonder?  Lots of celebrating on either or both days hopefully.  Anyone with any insight please leave a comment.  For those of you without a partner, April 14th is Black Day, when you can get together with your single friends to feast on Jajangmyeon, noodles with black bean sauce, yum…

I’ve added a calendar to the sidebar to keep track of holidays, the familiar and the little known, because I like to find a way to celebrate every day, simple or grand.

What are you celebrating today and what special days in the year do you hold dear?

This is the first year I’m participating in the {lovely} PACKAGE EXCHANGE graciously hosted by Danni from oh, hello friend.

Nearly 200 lovely bloggers signed up to exchange pretty presents by mail and I was matched with Carrie Koehmstedt from Carrie Loves and Sweet Faerie Designs. And oh happy day, her thoughtful gift was one of my favorites from Etsy: a Gourmet Sea Salt Kit from Cook Outside the Box.

My offering was a bracelet from Wish by Felicity and little Moleskine notebook set since Carrie’s favorite colors are turquoise and pink and she put the most adorable photo up on her blog:

Thanks, Carrie and Danni for the holiday cheer!
