Party's over?

I'm a very lucky girl. The last birthday celebration was today at my Grandmother's house. She had the table decked with her best china and we used my great grandmother's flatware. The dearest of stitching friends were there; a beautiful, oh-so-good brunch was prepared and my Mom made her fantastic chocolate cake. When I was leaving the house to go to the party, my husband reminded me that January was coming to a close very soon -- I guess no more birthday parties for me until next year!! Sure has been a memory-making time of it. I love my birthday - no matter the number. Yep, sure do. I do think I've had enough cake though - today's was divine.


Nancy gave me a beautiful, cosy Vera Bradley cover for my Kindle and you have to see this precious vintage kitty tape measure from Betty! To add to my Jane Austen shelf, Liz gave me a book that I'm eager to read soon.

Miss Maddy feels any day is a day for celebrating life so I'm with her. Have a good one.

Happy Birthday (again?Still?)! I guess this is the last time I can
wish it for you until next year.
Beautiful cake, I love the way the
frosting is swirled.
Hugs,
