It was beastly cold yesterday. In the afternoon we took a walk through Chelsea.
A. bought a hat on 9th Avenue --like the one on the left. Now he looks as if he is in the film Fargo. At least his head is warm.
This retro taxi was waiting for someone on 22nd Street.
Quite soon it will be my birthday, then R.'s, so we were taken out for dinner to a very lovely place where this cool dessert above arrived. Yum!
We had all eaten so much, we decided to walk home up 9th Avenue. A good opportunity to play with the new camera.
I love the yellow hat. I'm told I have a hat face and do in fact have quite a collection but I've not got a yellow one.
ReplyDeleteLovely Elizabeth cake.
Happy New Year to you and A
Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!!!!! Hugs. Love the last picture, seems to capture the moment the weather the time.....
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, and early birthday wishes, too!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to enjoy seeing that new camera clicked into action. How could you bear to take gloves off in that weather to take the outdoor photos? Anything for art!

ReplyDeleteBetter Fargo than cold! We traipsed around a cold, damp Oxford today, and my husband wore a black cap that managed to be somehow menacing and goofy at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYour birthday dessert was gorgeous! (When is your B'day? Mine is the 11th. I'm not surprised you are a Capricorn as I am always drawn to them.)
Happy New Year and such. xx, Bee
I would have chosen the Fargo hat--cannot stand to be cold! Fashion goes out the window when the wind blows!
ReplyDeleteI was just over visiting your House in Marrakesh blog and catching up on the enchanting pictures and noticed your book! Congratulations, Elizabeth! It looks delightful. A copy will most likely show up soon for our enjoyment.
What an interesting decoration on top of the cake. It looks most unusual.We're into Sun Hats here!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Elizabeth! Wishing you a very happy year! :o) Your cake is so tasty. Love all the hats! Happy weekend, my friend ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteSuch very kind comments. I'm fortunate to have so many lovely blog chums -as well as ones in the real world.
ReplyDeleteActual b'day is Jan 4th.
will not reveal horrible antiquity of this blogger....
Wishing you all good things in 2009 -
French Fancy: Hats are bliss but am not convinced that yellow is the most flattering color near the face?
ReplyDeleteMuse:I will warn Adam about the woodchipper!
Linda Sue:I'm sorry your b'day gets lost in the shuffle.
Yes, not good planning to get born this time of year.
They all think:
Well, I got her a present already..........
Happy early birthday! What a dessert!
ReplyDeleteI can actually understand the attraction to those Fargo/Elmer Fudd type hats....
Love the hats....Fargo indeed! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat dessert is just the perfect size for after a good meal...looks delicious too.
Happy Birthday to both of you...my DH is also a winter birthday person. I'm summer myself.
HAppy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely rich and colourful post! Happy brithday and happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, the pictures are at real treat!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday!! Mine is Friday, the 9th.
My 26 year old son got a "Fargo" hat a month ago. Mind you, we live in central Alabama...70 degrees some days in winter! But he loves hats and wore the thing INSIDE for two weeks solid!!
Happy Birthday and Happy New Year! Wishing you much happiness and peace :-)
