Such a lovely day! ;-)

Welcome to my flower shop...Sally Flower!



Today is my birthday and phew, what a lovely day I'm having!

We'll forget the age... as my motto is, 'Act your shoe size!!' ;-)

Eight of us went out for a fab lunch at The Hare and Hounds, Kingskerswell.




My b/day actually began yesterday, when these lovely flowers arrived... from the lovely Michele (of Cowboys and Custard fame!)



Followed up today with Roses, from dear Mr S!




These from my sis...

And Carnations (top pic) from my lovely daughter, along with this delightful book ...and
she had also baked cakes...which tasted delicious..and have now almost all gone.


Nich gave me these silicone cake cases .

My mum and dad filled up a basket...
And gave me some dosh to spend...way hay! More about that in a mo...;-)

I bet you are thinking..'No CK this year,Sal? '...not the case!
My sis came up trumps with these large CK zipped bags..I am in desperate need for storage for my jumpers etc so ..ideal!

Plus this lovely napkin holder (not from CK)


I received some lovely cards but this one took me back to the days when I sat on the butter cross in a fave city of mine.

I recognised it instantly and some of you will too!
Mr S gave me this gorgeous Cashmere cardy from Orvis in Exeter, along with the raspberry scraf from, Moko in Gandy Street
.
And also..
these...!
Boots look so much nicer surrounded with flowers, don't you think?
Having searched for a while for some very comfy boots, I ended up with some DMs!!
I'm glad I did as these are so comfortable.
They are not the clumpiest DMs but slightly more dainty, if ever there could be such a thing!
LOL!
They are Dr Martens 'Paloma' boots.
We tramp around a lot on Saturdays and these will be well used...starting off with tomorrow..!

I know exactly where we are going ! ;-)

Thank you to all of my lovely family for making today so fab!

Finally...the winner of my last giveaway is...

Sarah of 'Iandcuckoo'

Well done! ;-)

Have a great weekend everyone!

  6. What a lovely day you have had, a gathering of all the family for a celebratory meal, flowers, presents, cards ... what could be nicer? Love the boots ... those boots certainly were made for walking! And what a lovely selection of goodies your Mum and Dad put together for you! It's not over until midnight, so have a good birthday evening!

  16. Happy Birthday Sal - the fifth of February is a good day, my youngest is 24 today too! You had some really lovely gifts. Have a really good day out tomorrow. May I give to a tip - take all the leaves off the roses strip them bare leaving only the rose on the top and they will last much longer!

  28. Happy Birthday Sal. Enjoy your day out if you can manage to find the door through all those flowers!
    How lucky to live near to an Orvis - I buy all my clothes there but it has to be by mail order.
    What lovely goodies you had - and what a loving family. Have a nice weekend.
