giftlings galore
for this courage to take flight, i am deeply indebted.
1. Bday Dress found at the BCBG outlet store - and I just adore how I makes me swagger and saunter in the most smart way.

do pardon the picture, it's HARD to photograph jewelery well. and this was with my camera phone!
this is what it looks like close up, but umber decided on a citrine for me instead of the cabochon
very apropos, don't you think?
do you know what it's like to WEAR such art?
it means so much to me - thanks my umberdovely for the soulful gift, knowing how i pined for it
thank you my plume, for making such things to adorn to the beauty of women -
and no doubt, for the well-wishes sent my way while crafting this jem of all jems
It reminds me of my roots in the desert of CA
somewhere where the joshua trees hoard all the water...
but where i was still determined to
dig deeply for roots
alive indeed with the most haunting, raucous,
hot hot wind
and one lost little family
finding sustenance where there was no
sustenance to be found.
and as i gaze on it, i remember that i am no longer
in that barren place - but am in the
forest of my life
new growth, loves. new growth surrounds.
and the eternal reminder that for everything i was not given
i was blessed ten-fold by something else.
4. Text messages, voicemails, emails, comments on the blog and facebook, and ecards all over from family and friends alike - and happy to hear from my dearest two sisters, Teresa and Monica, good to hear leif's voice, courtney's voice, karen and steve's voice, jackie's voice, brian and jen's voice...just feeling very happy.
6. Also in the mail was a lovely HAT from my dear sister! It's just damn fabulous. She is giving me two other things - and the mail is just taking it's damn sweet time! boo.

10. For one of my presents, Joel is agreeing to take a dance lesson!!! OH, what bliss is mine?! He has more presents coming for me, and I will certainly keep you posted on this.
11. A happy card and the promise of a tatoo together from my jackie.
At the end of the day, I felt especially loved (and especially full of indian food)...from everyone who took the time to remember that they cared for me.
and this is all I could ask for.

I am so glad that your birthday unfolded so full of love, well wishes and gifts. And I love that I was able to take part in so much of it (and oh lord, I am already craving those caramel-dark-chocolate-sea-salt things!).
smoochies to you!
What a great birthday. Looks like you are quite the spoiled girl, I'm not surprised honestly.
Thanks for taking time out for just a quick dance video. ;)
i'm all about the birthweek celebration. who knows what marvelous packages and suprises await you around every corner of this, the first week of your third decade.
Hehe... I did I DID see the hat! I noticed a beautiful, sylphlike (new word, YAY) woman in the bottom left hand corner of the video (this is before even reading this post!). I actually yelled out to John, "It's CANDACE!!!".
I was quite excited.
1. Those shoes.
2. That hat!
3. That fabulous dress...
Why aren't you sitting here right now in that outfit drinking your second G&T with me??? Why oh why?
Happy Birthday Boxing Day you spoiled little bird.
XO
I'm so sorry I'm late on this! I'm so glad you had a wonderful birthday! That dress, ring and hat are GORGEOUS!
I am happy your birthday was so. I am sorry you have to wait so long for my participation in showing you how loved you are...but I hope it's worth the wait!
devon - you are sweet - and i am happy to be seeing you this fine evening.
i love fun drinks at posh bars on my hill - even more when there is a hint of a little gifty! :)
