Birthday Goodness

 Beer! (From O'Brien's: Alpine Brewery's Hoppy Birthday on the right)

 Udon! (from Chopstix)

Tiramisu cake! (from Extraordinary Desserts)

Followed by Brahms performed by the rockin' Camera Lucida.

These are a few of my favorite things, with my most favorite guy, on my special 5-0 birthday. Woot!

Thank you for the sweet birthday messages--hugs to all of you out there in the blogosphere. Perhaps we'll meet one day?

Tallulah-Palooza Friday

A Few of My Favorite Things: Exhibit E (also Exhibit xxiii;999,432; Z to the 1 millionth; etc.): Tallulah Mae!

A Few of My Favorite Things: Exhibit D

Bees, of course.
And their cute little bee butts!

A Few of My Favorite Things: Exhibit C

A very special store where you feel as if you've stepped back in time. Vintage fabrics...
...lots of good old-fashioned acrylic yarn...
...and several walls of vintage ribbons and other trims (check out the selection of bobble trim up there!).
And this is their telephone. No, really, it is!

It's my special hidden place...sorry, can't tell you its name on the Interwebs, 'cause then the secret would be out!

A Few of My Favorite Things: Exhibit B

Dahlias!

A Few of My Favorite Things: Exhibit A

Or "B," actually: butterflies!
