A Birthday in Blogland
When we translate blogland into real life, good things happen.
It was talented Constance's birthday - she of the enchanting blog Rochambeau.
And, lo and behold, in this topsy turvy world, I got presents too. Here a beautiful little purse marked "Memories" to keep very precious things.
I think bloggers like to make records of things.
And a medallion with bees - bees are very industrious. I wish I was. This will inspire me.
And here is the birthday girl enthroned with her birthday hat on. She is holding a very exotic plant called a heliotrope Karen and the others bought in the flower district. Constance looks very queenly.
And since it is Constance's birthday, Susanna, Karen and Isabel record the event from one side and me from the other.
Bloggers must bore everyone with their incessant shutterbugging. But we do love it so.
Because it was a birthday we had to eat and drink........a lot.
Mimosas.........salad ( haha we are trying to be virtuous) and then...........
Desserts and lots of them. Isabel's mother in law made a Portuguese almond tart. Celeste brought a chocolate cake.
There were berries from Union Square green market.
A very happy day in blogland.
Wish you could have joined us!

ReplyDeleteWhat a grand time we had yesterday, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for organizing Constance's birthday party and for inviting me.
I'll keep this day close to my heart-delicious food, great conversation, the warmth of the friendship present at your lovely house,and vibrant women full of passion and heart...a true blessing!
That all sounds so lovely and looks so good. How great to have bloggy friends in the real world!
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like you had a lovely time! And you're right, bloggers do like to make records of things, I believe that's the reason we blog. :)
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely picture of your party and of your tempting food -- i'll have to go dig my own raspberries out of my fridge now !
ReplyDeleteWow! The very best dessert plate I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful party. You were in my thoughts all day.
Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. But where were all the sweets when I was there? And, what did my brother do while all this was going on? I suppose he was tucked away in his corner trying to get some work done.

ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely birthday spread! :-) About shutterbugging, it can't be helped. I try to resist this whole "take a picture or it didn't happen" mentality, but we are indeed record-keepers!
