The day itself was a quiet one. Despite starting the day feeling old and under-achieving (terrible thoughts, I can't help it), there were pressies and treats - and a very awesome surprise at the end - that lifted my spirits. Not to mention, the lovely lovely lovely birthday wishes from family and friends... including every single comment in my last post.
Gifts and treats...
Lula!!!!!
Lenka
Vintage white cardi
Beautiful vintage buttons, which I got the day before at Camberwell Market. I bought faaaaar more than this - I may have gone overboard, but I LOVE them!
I made a large cocktail ring with one of them, amongst other rings too. I find the crafting process very wonderfully pleasant and soothing.You must think I'm a weird button freak by now.
best part of the day: when I found out that I WON this gorgeous vintage camera from our.city.lights.!! I must have birthday luck! I cannot wait to get it. Thank you Diana!!
My brother bought me a cake today. Sure, my birthday was yesterday, but who cares? Someone told me that I should have a birthday week... and I think I will! So I'm extending the birthday sale on my Etsy shop till the end of this week. Just mention "Birthday Love" during checkout, and you've got yourself 25% off. Not bad, right?xo

My mother is a button freak you will find tin cans, mason jars, shoe box all over filled with buttons. It's always fun going through them. Tough to figure out which one to use in a project!
