beautiful birthday

It was my birthday on the 4th (Friday)… I had a lovely day – went into town, wandered about, had iced chocolate, bought nice stuff….

I decided to photodocument the beautiful things I saw, just as they took my fancy…

Vanilla & Rose

This was the cafe I started at – Coreine very nicely gave me a birthday pomegranate macaron to have with my iced chocolate – yummy! They’d just had air conditioning put in, just before I turned up… this was a nice bit of wall/decor that caught my eye 😀

a pretty signpost…..

My table (at Deanne’s Coffee House), with my chai latte..

the sign says “Everybody should believe in something. I believe I’ll have another coffee.” I could go with that….

Pretty things at Trottie Becke’s

I thought this robot was very cute…. not something I’d buy, though. Also from Trottie Becke’s

Here’s the pretty things I bought..

The mug is prettier than it looks – sort of pearlescent. The block in the front is a herb chopper – there’s a curved rocking blade in the draw underneath.

My angel of happiness…

and lastly – my new unicorn (although it’s actually second hand..) The lady behind the counter didn’t know what to say when I said it was for me… perhaps I should have ridden it out of the shop! 😀

I still haven’t decided on a name…

So – here’s my pictorial birthday – and also my first pictorial post… hope it works! 😀
