Birthday Presents
Tuesday, July 07, 2009
It's been a month since my birthday but here are photos of the birthday goodies I received from my nearest and dearest anyways. Thank you everyone, I love my gifts.
Beautiful birthday lilies from Kristi and her family. Kristi is our neighbour in Beijing and almost on a weekly basis, we'd go shopping, have lunch or just explore Beijing together while the kids were at school.
Swarovski crystal mobile phone charm from Sonny-boy. After much resistance on my part, Hubs replaced my dinosaur Samsung mobile with a brand new LG Cookie. He'd been pressing me to get an iPhone but iDeclined, saying I only needed to call and send the occasional text message and nothing else. I did want a touchscreen phone though and the LG Cookie looked easy enough. So there we go, new mobile. And new bling to go along with it.
And from The Girlfriend, a cross-stitch pattern from Nora Corbett's Pixie Couture Collection, complete with the necessary beads and metallic threads. The Poppy Chart has been on my to-buy list and I guess you can see why. I'm drawn to the seductive red skirt designed to resemble poppy petals.
And because a girl must treat herself well and not wait for anyone else to do so, my little gift to me: a coffee table book from Tiffany which I lugged all the way from Singapore earlier this year and waited till my birthday proper to open. Ironic then it is currently on its way with the rest of our things back to Singapore. This is going to sit nicely with my special edition Ferragamo book on our new coffee table, whatever it may be.
As previously mentioned, I'm in a jewelry phase right now, hence this marcasite and onyx set in sterling silver ensemble from the Hubby. Its geometric Art Deco style certainly brings one back to the era and I feel quite the glamourous flapper wearing it.
So, my birthday presents for this year.
I am loved.
