Yesterday
was my birthday! No, I am not going to
tell you how old I am. J M was
so kind to take some pictures I could share with you.
Our preparation started on Saturday
when M and I had baked our traditional birthday apple crumble pie
Together my
girls surprised me with a beautiful
Carnation bouquet in a variety of colors. These are my most favorite flowers
Presents!!!!
I am so happy with each and every
one of these gifts:
Of course
there were chocolates mmmm. No celebration can do without them. A Kate Spade clip
for my planner. A book about the social and cultural changes in our country in
the last fifty years which has brought back so many memories. A book about Goddess
Holle and how she has changed from a greatly worshiped Germanic deity in to a fairy tale
figure (Mother Holle). She is a goddess I feel very connected to. And not to
forget two of my most desired decks : the Wild Unknown Tarot By Kim Krans and the Celtic Lenormand by Chloe
McCracken and Will Worthington
Later in the
afternoon my husband came to visit and gifted me some art supplies He loves to paint himself too so last week we
went shopping together in a art supply store.
He bought me a watercolor sketchbook, some water-resistant drawing pens and a tear off palette
to use when I paint with acrylics.
“no gifts
for me?”
Al together it was a perfect day.
Happy, joyous birthday my friend! My, that apple crumble looks yummy... I think I can almost smell the cinnamon. And what lovely presents - all personal picks for what you love to do and learn about. :) Can't wait to hear what you think of the decks and see what you do with those art supplies. Best wishes for good health and lots of fun in the year ahead. (That Joffee is a cutie pie!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for you wishes my dearest friend! We have just enough apple pie left for the three of us tonight :)
DeleteI am totally in love with the decks already and I haven't even read with them but they will pop up in my posts soon enough
Birthday blessings to you, Ellen. What a lovely celebration you've shared with us here, so many elements coming together to honor you, your own unique embodiment in the world. Drink it in. And that epilogue of cuteness in the last pic tells us of his own place in your heart ;)
