Eye Candy Friday

September 22, 2017 By Carole

Thank you SO much for all of the comments yesterday wishing me a Happy Birthday. You all came through in a big big way and it was a fabulous day! Really, everything was perfect, from working to a pizza party (to talk about health care options but still, free pizza), to a contract meeting with my boss, to interviewing for a library opening, to a brewery full of music and friends and great food to . . . well . . . everything. It was just wonderful.

And, speaking of wonderful, check out this Moses Basket, which is currently hanging out in our den. It’s draped with the baby blanket I knit and it’s just waiting for . . . the baby. 12 days and counting now!

Have a great weekend, friends! Enjoy every moment as if it’s your birthday!

    I’m so glad you had a good birthday. I wanted to send you birthday wishes yesterday but my crazy computer frequently refuses to show me comment sections when there’s a link-up involved on a blog post. So…. Happy belated birthday! Your Moses blanket is beautiful!

    Just think, this child can look back and see pictures of his first digs and be quite impressed. This looks like something from Architectural Digest, Carole! What a lovely tribute to a baby already loved. I hope you have a fabulous weekend, full of baby knits, cocktails, and love.

I read 7 books and had, well, more cocktails than that. 🤣 We’re having our usual snacks on the deck, that sterling silver canoe that I bought in Camden, ME is the star of the tray. Okay, maybe the cheese from @thelostkitchen, too, because it’s perfectly stinky and utterly delicious. Cheers to a vacation well spent! #vacationisover #cocktailhourathome #martinitime #cheeseandcrackers #silvercanoe #cheesetray
