ERICA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

Erica's Birthday Party

I was really excited to be invited to Erica‘s birthday party on Saturday, hosted by Anabela & Geoff. Little did I know just how dreamy this party would be. Firstly, their apartment is the cutest thing ever. I hardly knew where to look, there were so many great pieces of art by artists that I love. The place was lit up with twinkle lights and decorated with balloons and peachy, frilly banners. There was a tower of cupcakes and lovely nibbles to eat.

I finally got to meet Nikole in person. Finally. Nikole brought THE cake. I have never seen anything like this spectacular cake. I almost cried when I saw it and it wasn’t even for me. It was a chocolate cake with sour cherries in the middle. It was completely devoured towards the end of the night, but not before it was lit up with over thirty candles which set the tiny little flags on fire.

Did I mention the pink unicorn pinata? or the sparklers, the glitter birthday hats and the exploding streamers? Anabela, you totally set the bar for future birthday parties!

p.s. Celine’s photos from the party are pretty great.

CEDAR BIRDHOUSE

Cedar Birdhouse

I can’t tell you what a nice birthday month I’m having. I’ve had cake everyday for about two weeks and sadly now it’s all gone! What the heck am I going to have for breakfast tomorrow?!

I had to share the handmade gift I received from Andrew with you. A beautiful cedar birdhouse of his own design. Even better, he used all scraps of cedar wood he had lying around the house from past projects. That’s the kind of design I love!

I’ve always wanted a birdhouse and this one is deluxe. I can’t wait for a happy bird or bird family to move in!

INTRODUCING : MAISY

We just got back from Paris and amidst doing tons of laundry and trying to get back on track I wanted to post quickly about my favourite dog in the world. Monday was Maisy’s fourth birthday!

I thought I’d share some puppy photos. The top photo is the first photo I ever saw of her, in the background you can see her brothers and her mother’s tail.

I asked Maisy a few questions and here’s what she had to say…

What’s your background?

Maisy : I was born up near Ottawa in a pound near Almonte. My mom was part Collie and part Walker Hound. I never met my dad, so part of me is a mystery. It’s fun to hear what people think I am though. I was the only girl with about four brothers. I wish I knew where they went. I’d love to see them again.

What are some of your favourite things?

Maisy : I really like sandwiches, resting my head on the front window ledge of the shop, raspberries, all my friends at the workroom, running in the park, stuffed animals (especially my new beaver!), sleeping on the couch, lying in the sun, going to Home Hardware, finding something good to eat in the garbage and having a bone in the backyard.

What don’t you like?

Maisy : I really don’t like dogs that wear clothes, strangers who lurk in the doorway, baths, medicine of any kind and all the cats in our neighborhood.

Do you have any favourite tricks that you do?

Maisy : The usual. I’ll shake a paw (left & right), sit and lie down, especially if there are treats involved. I can also high five you with my nose and I know how to close the door when I come in from the backyard. I’m trying to learn to cut fabric, but it’s not that easy!

Now that you’re four years old, what’s next?

Maisy : Things are pretty great. I work customer service and security full time at the workroom, but I’m hoping to cut back on my hours for the summer and spend more time running around the park.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

October 13 is a special day on the calendar for me. It’s my birthday. It’s also my parent’s anniversary. They got married exactly one year before I was born. I also share my birthday with several dear friends. Happy Birthday Liz, Ashley and Esther! I hope your birthday weekends were as fun as mine.

If that wasn’t enough, October 13 is the workroom’s birthday too! I don’t think I could jam any more wonderful things into one day.

My Tinctory necklace arrived last week and it’s even more precious and delicate in person. I’m so incredibly delighted with subtle colours of the silk and the thread. Thank you, Eva!

p.s. Happy Birthday to Angelune, whose birthday was also this weekend!
