Me day

Today is my birthday, so I'll be very quiet and just enjoy the peace. And the cake. Deep reflections about your past and future and your big dreams and hopes for the coming year are always best accompanied by cake.

{cake + celebration candle kid}

This little lady surprised me on top of my coconut cake last year and I can't wait for her to come out again. She's a celebration candle kid from The Small Object. If I had children, they would each have one to bring out on their special day - wouldn't that be a wonderful tradition?

Of course, she lives in my sewing area the rest of the year, because she's too sweet to be hidden away in a drawer.

I'll be back tomorrow!
