Fairysteps and 37


This beautiful bag arrived in the mail a week or so ago. It came all the way from England from a talented lady who has an online shop called Fairysteps. She makes exquisite one off bags and shoes. I'm not a handbag type of girl - I've been using a little backpack or shoulder hippy-type bags that I've been finding in opp shops for years. Then I discovered Fairysteps...... and I was in love. This is my 3rd handbag. I have a mustard yellow bag and a brown bag that I use for everyday. I have picked out a bag each year for my birthday for the last 3 years now.

I don't know what I'm going to do next year (LOL). It's not that I need a lot of hand bags (unless Ren makes a cherry red bag - hint, hint..;) ) but I know these will last a life time. They are built to last.


 Ninja Cat Marty had to pop in for a photo. I love the pink and purple - these are my favourite colours.


The scarf that I'm wearing is a Noro scarf that I knitted years ago - my first time knitting with Noro.




I was 37 on Sunday. I had a great day. In the morning I went to the growers market to get some goodies. When I got back home, Katie and Lou had made me lunch and had a hand picked bunch of flowers for me. My other son was at a sleep over at a friends place but I got lots of birthday cuddles from him when he came home. 



My birthday lunch.


Beautiful fresh flowers from the garden...:)

What beautiful photos of the gorgeous birthday girl.......I know what will you do with all those handbags, some serious accessorising for you......I am glad you had a great day on your birthday, you deserve it......Maybe some shoes or a wallet, but the cherry red handbag sounds pretty good as well......
