One of our family quotes was started by my sister, 37 years ago:
"It's mine birfday! Happy birfday to me!"
We're celebrating quietly, as Son 1 has his own birthday and, more significantly, his Brevet exams, coming up next week. There will be a birthday tea and presents at the end of a working day... and part of my present is already here - I shall tell you about that later!
I leave you with a photo of the vintage ticking I picked up the other day, having an (unsuccessful) try-out on our sofa (looked good but scrumpled up too quickly).
I also leave you with two lovely blogs featured in my favourite magazines this month:
Emma from Silverpebble who's been a blogging friend for years now - how lovely to see her and my little silver bird pendant (or one like it) in Country Living this month!
Jenny from The Custards - how can I have missed her blog up until now? Fortunately, Homes and Antiques rectified this terrible situation...
So, two presents for you, but:
"It's MINE birfday!
Happy birfday to me!"

Wishing you a very happy Birfday, dear Floss.
Floss - I've just seen the news. I hope you and your family are OK. Toulouse seems to be having more than it's fair share of excitement! And, apart from that, I hope you have a lovely birthday.
Happy Birthday! Have a great day! I am off to make some blueberry and vanilla muffins!! Cx
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Arggh, I should have remembered the date, I still have to smile and chuckle when I occasionally remember the birthday parties so many of us prepared for you in 2009. That was such a hoot. Have a wonderful day, and celebrate in style ( even if Kajagoogoo and Take That can't make it to your place this year ). xx
Forgot to say, I love the ticking you picked up, shame it doesn't work on your sofa. I know you don't have your shop any longer but if you want to sell it.......... x
Happy Birfday!

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday...coincidentally, it's also my brother's birthday!
I confess I have bought the blueberries, but did not get to preheat that oven for muffin baking before the hot weather hit. So...it's blueberries and cream for now.

Hello, happy birthday, lovely to meet you and thank you for dropping by all in one go!! I am envious of your French way of life - I am imagining brocante around each and every corner! Thank you for your kind words and I will keep in touch
Best wishes
Jenny
