birthday prelude & lovely little things




visions of sugarplums,

pink peonies,
This pink beret
 reminds me of a previous birthday gift and memories of  La Bohème.

Cupcakes and champagne, are always nice, as well as breakfast at Julienne's.



Today is my Birthday, but I feel like I already celebrated my Birthday with all of the lovely events from yesterday, beginning with breakfast with my mother at Julienne's. This has long been a family favorite for years since I use to work next door to the french inspired breakfast bistro. The scones sprinkled with rosemary and currant are like no other and my mother adores the oatmeal with baked apples. Our next stop to see the new Pedro Almodóvar movie  as seen here. The end of the day brought a surprise visit from a favorite little nephew and dancing to Michael Jackson as we listened to Thriller. Did you ever see 13 Going on 30? Remember the scene where she starts  dancing to Thriller? Memorable Moments in life that leave you breathless with laughter.
