My birthday came and went this week. Nowadays I really don't get very enthusiastic about birthdays...they tell me the years are passing too quickly.
We had a lovely day, with friends coming in for a simple lunch in the Conservatory. The sun was shining which made it very pleasant.
There were phone calls from Australia (son), a voucher from Canada (daughter), beautiful cards and some thoughtful presents too.
On the same day, I received a surprise gift from Debbie, a charming lady with a very talented daughter, Stephanie. It was so kind of her to send me this delightful set of tea holders and mats, and I think they were from Stephanie's shop.
Surprise gifts are so lovely!

Happy belated birthday! 🎂🎉💕🎈 xxx
Happy birthday - belatedly! I like birthdays. Each extra birthday tells me how lucky I am!
Happy belated birthday!! Love the surprise gifts you received.
So many birthdays, right? I hope you felt very celebrated because you are a precious person. Eat cake all month. Aw, I love Debbie.
Happy Birthday, Barbara. I know exactly how you feel about birthdays coming so quickly now, it seems. When I had my last one, a decade milestone, I said to my brother the day before my birthday that I always knew that I would be 70 someday, I just never thought that it would be tomorrow. And so we do celebrate, thankful to be having one and looking forward to the next one. Even the weeks seem to fly by. And I always appreciate your visits to the dollhouse.
Happy belated birthday! What a lovely gift. I love Stephanie's teaholders! Enjoy your weekend ♡
Happy birthday. Love those cups xx
Happy Birthday to you. A nice surprise in the mail, too. Hope your weekend is going well.
Happy belated Birthday dear Barbara - and every one is definitely a special occasion n matter the numbers! You deserve those thoughtful gifts - very pretty things from your friend - surprise gifts are exciting to receive.
Many happy returns too - hugs, Mary
Wishing you a lovely year ahead, Barbara! What a special surprise in the mail. Maybe at a certain age in life, birthdays are more for our friends and loved ones than for ourselves -- it's the opportunity for them to remember and remind us we are held sweetly in their affections. xox
Aww... You are too sweet, dear Barbara!
What a joy it was when you told me that your parcel arrived on your birthday. Isn't God wonderful! ♡
Birthday Blessings~
Elizabeth, what a delightful surprise! Stephanie is so talented!
A belated happy birthday to you, Elizabeth! I am glad you had such a nice day...and how sweet that Debbie's package came on your birthday! That is the Lord's timing! Doesn't Stephanie do lovely work? She and her mom both are such sweet ladies.
The happiest of days to you dear Barbara! How precious to receive such goodies across the pond :D mari
