December 6th

Oh, what a busy morning we have had! We went down to Riverland Festivity-house, which we had booked for Anabel's birthday, before 6 o'clock. There were me, Bernard, Barney the cat from Barney's Bakery, Adele and Brita. Barney delivered the most wonderful cake...


... candy canes and some beautifully glazes apples, all Anabel's favorites.


Me and Bernard were in charge of decoration...


... And Brita and Adele took care of all flower arrangements. Anabel loves nature, walking on the woods and picking berries and mushrooms so the decoration was built around that theme. Here in Riverland we are lucky to have non-poison toadstools so they can be used on decoration (and eaten afterwards!) too. Brita had also made a beautiful berry crown for Anabel, she'll love it!


But now I must run, there are still so many things to do! Bernard got Anabel's camera from repairs, and also bought her a lot of film for it, so I am sure we will see many pictures later! Happy December 6th, everyone!

Six hours later! We are having the best party ever, and I just wished to share this one picture of the birthday-girl today, Adele took it, and the rest we'll see tomorrow! Happy Birthday, Anabel!

P.S. Greetings from Mia too saying that it is not only Anabel's birthday but also Finland's! Happy Independence Day, Finland, and happy second Advent everyone!

Happy birthday to Anabel and Happy Independance day! What a fabulous cake and those decorations turned out brilliantly, well done! Have a very happy Sunday and perhaps it's time to put your little paws up for a rest...you have been rushed off your feet these past few days. Billy sends a purr too xx

Happy birthday to Anabel, it looks like she's having a wonderful party, all organised by her fantastic friends.
Barney seems a clever little chap, that is one amazing cake.
I'm looking forward to more photos of the party (so glad Bernard got the camera sorted)!!
Please wish Mia a happy 2nd Sunday in Advent and to all in Finland, Happy Independence Day!!

Hei ja Hyvää syntymäpäivää Anabel! Ja paljon, paljon vuosia lisää! Synttärikekkerit olivat varmaan ihanat, jos olisi pitänyt päättää mennäkö Linnan juhliin vai Riverlandiin, olisimme varmaankin tulleet Riverlandiin kutsuille :) Ihanaa illanjatkoa teille kaikille! x Anneli

Hei Anneli!

Meillä oli ihan mahtavat juhlat, ja nyt kyllä vähän väsyttää :) kaiken viikonlopun touhuamisen jälkeen! Tänään siis otetaan rennosti, ja joulutohinat jatkuvat huomenissa. Ihanaa viikkoa teille sinne, nähdään taas pian!

Hei Marle!

Oli ihan mahtavat juhlat, ja kaikki viihtyivät pitkään, kakku syötiin kokonaan, ja lopuksi tanssittiin! Nyt takaisin jouluvalmisteluiden pariin, mukavaa tiistaita sinulle!

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
