Apart from Christmas and New Year, I celebrated another birthday smack bang in between the two big days. I had a lovely day and received some beautiful gifts. MONT bought me a book I'd been wanting as well as a tripod for my camera! No more wobbles for this girl, no-sir-ee.....all crystal clear from now on!
My girlfriend "G" gave me a Wedgwood plate, to match the Jasper Conran cup and saucer she gave me last year. It's glorious! ...and my Mum popped in with some beautiful roses.
Me? I shouted myself a new coat for next Winter.
I know it's a funny time to be buying coats when the temperature in Melbourne got to 41 Celsius yesterday, but I found it in our local op-shop and it's absolutely beautiful!
Have a happy and safe weekend

Happy, happy belated birthday Lesley!! It sounds like you have had a HUGE week :D Your plate is gorgeous and I LOVE your 'new' coat!! I am planning on doing the same as you this year, regards to saving money and am going to join the Dottie Angel challenge today! Maybe we can both help keep each other on track :D Happy first day of 2011 ~ Tina xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind wishes Tina, I did have a lovely, if not hectic week...but it's all good. Another birthday means another year with MONT and my critters. PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteI just checked out Tif's blog...how wonderful! What a great challenge...let's do it!
Happy first day to you too!
Happy belated birthday Lesley. I love the plate, it is beautiful. Will you actually use it, or do you plan on displaying it somewhere?
ReplyDeleteThanks April.....no I'll use it. I've used my cup and saucer and plan to use my plate for a lazy Sunday morning breakast.
