After we had eaten ourselves to a standstill, we brought down the Christmas decorations and proceeded to transform the big book case into Christmas Central.
All the old ornaments, from the needle pointed ones handsome partner loved, made by a workmate, to gifts from friends, including the Snow Leopard stars, souvenirs of handsome son's childhood, three creches, all the dolls, from Dollivers to button dolls to tiny porcelain ladies. And the Dolliver Kennels turned out in style. Teddy bears. Along with cats and mice.
Handsome Son set up a can light and we're set.
After that came a delivery of flowers, perfect timing. Thank you, dogonart, sister Irene.
Lovely day, just eating sponge candy, drinking tea and loafing now.
This has been a grand opening day for my new decade. Wheeeee!
Sounds like a very perfect Birth Day celebration!
ReplyDeleteYes. One of the best I can remember. Thanks for your part in it!
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns of the day, Liz! I'm sorry I'm a day late, but I was a day late for my own celebration as well ;) Here's to the next year of creative endeavor and enjoyment!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Timing isn't of the essence, since I'm celebrating daily till mid March, typed mud there, well, that's true too, on the basis of one day per year of age! Sags rule, as you know, being one. Hippo Birdies to you too, and good luck in your new minibiz.
