If she said not to bring anything, and she's a good friend, then don't.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bringing a bottle of wine would be a nice gesture.
Though not really necessary for a good friend.

The status is NOT quo.
I agree with ita, vw. I understand how you feel, but you're really fine.
BTW, I just caught up and saw that you'd been having a really difficult couple of days. I'm so sorry I haven't been around to help you.

Thanks. It's totally cool. You've had your share of rough days yourself!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It would vary on how good a friend. I might bring a wee bouquet of flowers or a bottle of wine or some other tiny hostess gift for a good but not superclose friend. For a really good friend who said no worries, just bring you.
If she said bring nothing, then you are totally within etiquette just showing up. And when I say bring nothing, I mean it.
My default is a bottle of Processo or something sparkly with a pretty ribbon - it's usually just something nice for them to have later, not for dinner itself. Well, it's my default when I remember to have one about. And when I have ribbon.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Spending as much $$ on an outfit for a doll as I balk at spending on Em is MAD, correct?
American Girl doll?

Compassionately intolerant
The office I'm organizing keeps getting catalogues for this company, which creeps me all the way out with their 'most like me' dolls. You can custom order a copy of your kid...and then dress them alike.
I'm not sure why, but that just seems all manner of weird.

See, that shit makes me think of VC Andrew's Heaven Series. Ick.
