For once, I am not running away for my birthday. There is no woodsy escape near the foggy beach for me. It's a place I love and will visit again soon...but not today. Today, I decided to be brave and throw myself a cocktail party. To see what impressions I've made over the last two or three years and who shows up. Something I have not done since I was a child and well, back then, my mom threw me parties that I was too shy to enjoy. I'm excited to have my little gathering of 20 close friends and acquaintances at a fun little bar in the city to celebrate being a year wiser over yummy cocktails! Oh my, but there's so much to do! Hair to flat iron, makeup to put on, false eyelashes to have fun with, fun outfit to pick out, delicious St. Honore Cake to collect and devour...with friends, of course. Thank you for stopping by my little space in blogland to celebrate with me. I'll share how it all went when I can! Love and hugs...

Happy Birthday Valerie, sounds like a really sophisticated birthday. I had planned to do something similar this year, too (I am 55 on the 11th Oct) but now with my Mum being so ill I am giving up on my birthday altogether!
I hope that it all went well but I must ask one thing. What is a St Honore cake?
Happy Birthday!! I hope your birthday was a smashing success.
oops, sorry I'm late but hope that you had a wonderful birthday and a great time with your friends!
Happy Belated Birthday Valerie!
