Then on Sunday it was my birthday! My cousin Bill dropped in for a surprise visit! How great to see him after a long time. Bill leads a very exciting life (sounds like Humphrey Bear..) & has not long returned from sailing around the world. Gee it was nice to see him. The kids were super excited & gave me sweet presents of soap & bath salts and the best thing...a fabulous dance concert.
I had two birthday wishes that came true. The first was a trip to the Sunday Market with Charlotte for a bit of treasure hunting. I loved this box of clocks...wouldn't they look great all lined up on a shelf?
Then I found a gorgeous blue woollen scarf from Tibet, a fantastic Nanna trolley for $5! & this amazing canister below. What will I put in it? I was thinking it would make a great bread bin, what do you think?
My other wish was to have scones for afternoon tea. We managed to have a quick & delicious tea party before heading down to Ballan to drop Charlotte off at the station. Can you see the pretty new cup & saucer Charlotte gave me?
All in all it was a great weekend. After ANOTHER rodent incident on Thursday night it was just what I needed. For Tania's sake I won't go into detail about the alleged incident but here are some key words.
Huge
Giant
Rat
Nightie Drawer
Trauma
Two nights at a motel
Exterminator booked.
Hope you had a fabulous, rodent free weekend! x
ps. Here are some little hair clips I have been working on.

Such a lovely post, until the end! You poor, traumatised woman! However, I will try to dwell on the positive and wish you a belated happy birthday - what a great weekend you had (and you clearly deserved it)!
Happy Birthday for yesterday! It sounds like you had a wonderful weekend... apart from that pesky little rodent!
STOP THE RODENT THING IMMEDIATELY OR I'LL DE-FOLLOW YOUR BLOG OR SOMETHING.
AND THAT WAS WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, (picking up on the hyperventilating over here?), WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION.
IF YOU GIVE THE EXTERMINATOR A CUP OF TEA YOU DO KNOW YOU"LL HAVE TO THROW THE CUP AWAY?
Sounds like just the very best sort of birthday. Happy wishes to you! x
