Birthday Gifts (Part One)...
Hey Everyone...
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and your week has been good so far! As promised I wanted to blog about my weekend! It was full of early birthday celebrations and I had such a lovely time.
On Saturday I saw an old school friend. We went out for a lovely dinner and a few drinks. It was great to catch up and she was very naughty and spoilt me rotten! She bought me the most beautiful mug known to man...
A personalised Emma Bridgewater Starry Skies Mug!
Can you believe it?
It is my first ever piece of Emma Bridgewater china - I have been lusting after her beautiful collections for years, and now I have my very own personalised piece! Thank you Marian! You don't understand how unbelieveably happy this beauty makes me!
She also bought me this beautiful double oven glove - very Cath Kidston! And these beautful cupcakes wrappers! Both of which are perfect for all my baking!
Then on Sunday I headed over to my parent's house for the day! We also went out for a lovely meal with my sister and her family. After lunch I was treated to some fantastic presents...
The perfect way to exercise!
Time for a Harry Potter marathon - just need 19 hours straight!
A beautiful book, full of lovely projects from my brother! Can't wait to get started!
A belated Christmas present from my sister - I'm writing in all our definates as a momento book!
Glittery silver ink for my card making!
A gorgeous thick snuggly chunky knit throw! I love curling up in this!
A stunning wire cotton reel rack from my sister! Full of cotton reels now and waiting to go up on the wall somewhere!!!
See I told you I was spoilt! I was even treated to lunch, and then a yummy chocolate birthday cake afterwards with a big '6' sparkler on top! Yes you heard right! I am 6 tomorrow! Yay!
Then when I got home after an eventful weekend, the fiance had brought me back some little treats from his weekend away...
Chocolate from Chatsworth - which I MUST visit! And an original Bakewell Tart from Bakewell!
Isn't he sweet!?
As the name suggests this is just part one of my birthday treats as it isn't even my birthday yet! Tomorrow is my ACTUAL birthday! I'm sure you're wondering why I say 'actual' but usually I don't have a birthday!
Every year I have to celebrate on the 28th - feeling like a bit of a fraud! This year I actually get a 29th and as it only comes every 4 years I like to make a big deal of it!
Tomorrow I have the most amazing present from the fiance! I managed to give the game away cos I'm silly so I already know about it - but I will leave you all in suspense!
Love Jewel xXx
Oooh such gorgeous gifts :) Happy Birthday for tomorrow...how exciting!

Heehee Julie - you are now on the rocky road of collecting EB pottery. Gorgeous mug pickle xx
ReplyDeleteWow you have been spoilt, what fab presents. I love, love, love the cotton reel holder, how cute is that. I also have that Vintage craft book, James bought it for me for Christmas last year, I have made a couple of things from it but would love to make many more :) x x x x

Happy Birthday, TOMORROW, Jewel! My son's birthday is today. He was a month early and we thought he was going to wait until the 29th (for it was Leap Year that year), but he couldn't wait any longer. His brother was really disappointed because he wanted to tease him about his birthday. LOL!! I guess maybe you get teased sometimes, too, but looks like you are taking it in good strides. Your gifts are amazing and it just shows how much you are loved and appreciated. I hope this day is GREAT and your birthday AWESOME! Live it up girl, for you are a big 6!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

You are lucky! Emma Bridgewater has meant a lot to our area and seeing Made in Stoke-on-Trent, well thats how it should be, not made in China.

ReplyDeleteHappy 6th Birthday Juli! Hope you have a lovely day and the fiance spoils you rotten!
ReplyDeleteI've just managed to catch up on your last 4 blog entries - they pop into my work email but I've been so busy lately I've not had the chance :(
Your wee aprons looked great - brought life back to previously unloved tablecloths!
My mum tought me to cross stitch when I was a child, and if I had the time I'd still be doing it - did you see the picture my sister made of our dog? (It's posted on facebook!) It can be so relaxing, but be prepared to be frustrated wuntil you get the hang of it... and make sure your stitches all go in the same direction! Enjoy lovely lady xxx
Happy Birthday!! :) What a lovely selection of Birthday pressies. I love your new personalised mug..perfect for those cups of tea. I like the chunky knit throw as well..that looks super cosy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day today :)
