April Showers Bring May Flowers
celebrations, Dorkies (Yorkshire Terrriers), Etsy Goodies, give away, jewelry Thanks so much for all your birthday well wishes!! I even got cards in the mail from blog readers and friends, how sweet is that???
My pal, Jen, baked this carrot cake and brought it over as a surprise. And by the way, it is even tastier than it looks.
She has a way with baked goods that is not quite human, we think she has some sort of magical powers with butter and sugar. Whenever there is an event of any kind, everyone begs for a "Jen Cake".
The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful for my 50th birthday, and I got to spend the day doing things I love best, working in the garden and flower beds, taking a relaxing nap, playing with Sugarwings, then having a special family dinner topped off by Jen Cake.
Sugarwing’s Daddy slow smoked a prime rib roast all day with cherry and persimmon woods and we had a pot of roasted veggies (including fresh asparagus from my garden) along with it. Luckily I started the first day of my next 50 years by going to the gym in the morning!
My special day was just that, extra special. And the celebration goes on, I have a coffee with friends this week, and a party on Sat. night. Also, my buddy, Beth, is letting me paint her antique mall booth for her (how kind of her).
Actually, we’ll have a fun day hanging out and playing decorator with all of her junk, then meeting up with Amy Barickman of Vintage Workshop about some design ideas.
In the meantime, here are a few necklaces for the winner of my Birthday Giveaway to chose from.
Oops, you want to know who won, don’t you?
(Nancy, if you don’t care for a necklace, I can send you a bracelet or earrings instead.)
Thanks to all of you who entered by leaving a comment. All the comments count toward the May Giveaway prize too.
I will be adding to the goodies that go out in May, already there is a white leather Brighton coin purse and a gold band from the flea market in the prize pack. Maybe some millinery flowers?? And more! May is my favorite month of the year and I just have to share my happiness with everyone!! Leave a comment, any post all month to enter.
As soon as I list a couple pieces of jewelry on Etsy, Sugarwings, Twinkle and I are going to go and plant a few more flowers. I have to get outside and enjoy that gorgeous May weather.
