Cheering up after a dull birthday.
This won't be of any interest to most of you I guess, but I know a few of my close friends read my blog to keep track of what's going on with me and the family. My post here about my quiet birthday was pretty dismal, so I decided to post some photos of my birthday gifts to make up for it.
This is the Sandwich Maker Ken gave me. I've used it a few times, and today I made French Toast in it - perfect!!!
Some of you know my dear friend LeeAnn, who runs an opshop in country Victoria. She finds the most wonderful things in there, and sometimes I benefit from her generosity. I don't know if these came from there, but I love everything she sent me, as usual! This is an exquisite little box with a peacock on top.
She used this little fabric fish as part of the wrapping - lovely!
My thoughtful friend included this beautifully embroidered half apron as well:
The note pad is from my S.I.L., who also paid a year's membership in a card club for me, as part of her gift. The cake of soap is from my hairdresser L. Such a sweetie!
This charming porcelain shoe is meant to hold rings - see the ridges of sponge inside it? I don't have many rings apart from what I wear every day, so I may not use it for that purpose, but it will certainly be on display where it can be admired - thank you Helen!
Finally, my MIL gave me cash, as did another friend, so I combined them to pay for some new underwear which I desperately needed. And no, I am not putting photos of my new knickers here.
