I’ll be 55 tomorrow.
My first presents came courtesy of a lovely friend ❤
A hedgehog!
(It says it’s a raccoon, but I see a hedgehog 🙂 )
It came wrapped in a scarf. It’s been a bit hot to wear scarves, so I’ve draped it over my chair so I can just look at it…
Then my Mum gave me some things (and books…)
A bracelet (I got the necklace today).
Two wooden vases (silky oak and camphor wood), with feathers to display in them.
In other years I’ve spent my birthday combing through the charity shops for shiny, sparkly, colourful things. And books, of course. I like to go further afield, which has often meant closer to Brisbane.
This year I haven’t felt up to much in the way of travel, but I still wanted to go somewhere different.
So – off we went this morning to Rosewood, where I had a good look around.
I found books, and some clothing. And some pretty things.
Behold – the sparkles! 🙂
A shiny heart!
Just a reminder…
A couple of pots, and a word for the year.
A mug to take if I travel to Hobbiton.
Some more “indoor flowers”, and a use for the lustre pot in the earlier photo (I already had the incense sticks).
Shiny!
I don’t suppose I’ll feel much different tomorrow morning.
But I know there’s always room for sparkles!
