:: Weekend notes ::

We celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday at lunch on Saturday and then drove straight back up to LA to attend a birthday party for one of D's clients (which was catered by Son of a Gun - so good).

With a double booked party day on Saturday I treated myself to an early morning manicure and a blow out. So worth it. I have yet to learn how to do anything with my hair and it felt good to know it looked good all day. Essie's fifth avenue was the perfect red-orange.

I have a new addition to my cake stand collection - this gorgeous hobnailed, ruffled piece. My mom found it in an antique shop back in January and managed to keep it under wraps til now. 

I spent my actual birthday lying in bed most of the day, which I've decided is the best celebration ever. I've never been very fussy about birthdays and I've gotten less so with every year. I'm not sure if this means I'm getting old or if I've just finally accepted my true nature. Napping + reading for the win.

I did wake up to drink in the late afternoon light and D picked up some dessert from Tavern. Pretty perfect.

We'll start the second round next weekend ...
