Birthday morning a week ago called for bed hair and brekkie in bed.
And awesome green earrings from The Stylist embellished with five-cent coins "just in case you run out of change".
Then the wee hen decorated the kitchen with my Black Milk collection, decorating one's house with clothing is ingenious!
It was so awesome to see Number One son and Danni-Long-Legs up from Melbourne.
I think The Stylist actually had the day in the palm of her hand ... she spent the day doing insane things with my hair and she and DLL turned into completely insane lunatics, while the lads spent the day flying a remote control helicopter around the house.
Hooray for burp-days!
Black bracelet - Number Three Son
Blue beads - Danni-Long-Legs
Number One Son found one of my favourite CDs from the early 90s while taking a walk down memory lane, digging around in his storage boxes.
Robot dancing in Cardboard City.
Dress ups are essential birthday activities.
Then scouring local restaurants until we found the noisiest one around - mmmm ... Italiano!
So lovely to see Number One Son and DLL for the weekend:)).
Can you tell we're a wee bit chilly?
Number Three Son bought me this awesome black metal bracelet - I'm so happy he and The Stylist bit the bullet and thrifted all my presents!
So he gets to wolf down a yummy fresh pizza.
A few days later surprise birfday loot arrived from the goddess Vix!
A 1970s lurex top and AWESOME GREEN jumpsuit, cocktail rings, 1960s evening purse, Barry M nail paint in the very colour I've been looking for ... squeeeeeeeeee!
The card ... act natural - well yeah, that's just me right there innit?
The Stylist and I can smell a tug-o-love happening over this leather gorgeous-people-dancing wallet.
It's been bucketing down for a couple of weeks now, so the jumpsuit has been perfect in the cooler weather.
The Stylist caught me having a stretch.
Dodging the raindrops and racing out for some happy snaps on Saturday.
Wearing the nail polish and ring from Vix with a 1960s frock I bought from a market recently.
My latest headband creation, worn with a sweet little necklace also from Vix and kimono from Erica Louise in the christmas swap.
Look what turned up today!!
A pressie from the darling goddess Helga!
A gorgeous wee cape with silver lurex flowers and the most awesome brooches including one of my idol Frida!
I think I pee'd myself a little bit.
A compliment for you ... thank you so much for your gorgeously sweet birthday wishes ...
I recommend this as THE best way to get a jump start on your week:)).
You are so welcome!
Love,
Desiree xo

ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a rather marvelous and fun day.
The stylist is rather smart giving you some extra change for just in case & I love how she decorated.
I also thought you looked rather fetching in your stretching picture.
*heheh*
Happy Birthday! You did it up in style and I would expect nothing less from your gorgeous self.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday you funky chicken! The stylist is such a little charmer isn't she?! Who wouldn't love to have a little stylist of their very own dressing up houses and buying thrifted birthday presents! So cute!
ReplyDeleteLoads of birthday gifts, how exciting! The cape and the leather purse are yummy!
I'm glad you had a lovely day and a nice meal with all your family - number 3 son's pizza looks good!
I absolutely loved The House of Pain - Jump Around when I was younger! I remember it was on the film Mrs.Doubtfire and I'd jump around to it then! xxx
A very happy belated birthday, and I must say, that is an awesome haul of birthday loot. I would definitely arm wrestle you for the Flamenco dancer wallet! Your daughter is the bees knees at decorating a party room.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday darling! Looks like you all had a great time (& looked pretty damn fab doing it). Lucky you getting all those great birthday parcels!
