It's my birthday and I can cry if I want to!

Yes it is indeed it is my birthday *cough*...er....my "21st" and yes I have indeed been extremely spoilt! I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who sent me such lovely birthday wishes... feel very loved. 

I just wanted to share with you a few special gifts I received from work and my good friend Kate yesterday! She is an ever so talented little lady and handmade both of my gifts (below) which personally I think shows so much thought, consideration and effort, they are items to be cherished (well minus the sweets... which will not last long!)

So from the What Katie Did team was a beautifully decorated jar full of sugary favourites, with a Alice in Wonderland twist and a wooden vintage brooch on top... it is a little bit to good to eat I think.

You all know me so well...

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! did you have a good one? I was very lucky girl (some may say spoilt) Santa brought me some beautiful things.

What was quite amusing was that I received two gifts both books that I already have... my family and friends truly know me so well.  So I now have a lovely set of the Goddess Guide and Goddess Experience books. However my cousin buying me 'Style Me Vintage' did make me chuckle, 'I must be doing something right' being part of the team that helped promote it at The Painted Lady, my cousin was oblivious that I had even had any involvement with it... just thought I would like it, and how right she was.

So my beautiful vintage cup and saucer I received as a "Secret Santa" gift from work, and look how beautifully wrapped it was, even if that did give it away abit.

Festive wishes to you all xx
