It’s my DH’s birthday (and it’s one of those “big” ones with a zero as the second digit) and normally I’d bake but I am surprisingly busy today...and we figured supporting our favorite local bakery is a great idea. Excellent choice - the mocha cheesecake is delicious and goes perfect with coffee (and beautiful, but I was so eager for cake and didn’t take a photo...)
I also donated my original budget for DH’s birthday gift (something H obviously) to Feeding America since we can’t go to the store - with his full support of course. In his words - the fact we and our loved ones are all healthy and well is the only gift he wants. Stay well everyone
OMG, that looks delicious
H-Bday to your DH
Inspired by diane278 's jade rice bowl, I decided to eat my quinoa edamame salad from a Japanese bowl, hand made by a dear friend who attended pottery lessons in Tokyo.
Have a restful weekend, tpf.
I'm enjoying the food on this thread as much as the H
After I saw @etoupebirkin pandemic project turn out so amazingly beautiful. I want to give my Herbag a little bit of colors. I plan to send my bag to his studio to get a quote and decided what I like on my bag. But My DH gives me a lot of courage to paint on it myself. (I had worked as an artist while I am in college. But many years have passed and I haven’t painted anything since I got married.)
I don’t want to mess it up since it Hermes but the other me keep bugging me like ...” why not”.
And...
I have found a perfect image that I really like. While I have to wait for the set of brushes + acrylic paint set to come. I would like to share with you a prepared job. During this week I will draw this image over and over many times until I can hold my breath and paint without hesitation on the real bag. Wish me luck please. I don’t want to ruin my first Hermes bag.
I wish you luck but I'm so nervous on you (and it's already such a pretty colour)
Brilliant idea
I recently completed a Roy Lichtenstein style puzzle, I think yours looks even harder to complete though.
Too funny! And how perfect. I still think of Docride showing her barenia Birkin as a “saddlebag”. So you do have a true unicorn, now x 2.
This is my old saddle. I haven’t used it in 20+ years. Nor have I cleaned it or polished the silver (obviously!). I left it at a friends ranch for his granddaughter to use.....but she never did. I think I should go out and clean it up....but thinking I should and actually doing it, are two very different things!
Still, when the bag arrived, I took it out to the ranch for photos, despite my friend thinking I’d lost my mind. The bag, the saddle & the rider....we’re all happily vintage!

It’s still not done! I’m not sure I’m a “puzzle person”.
Your Lindy is so beautiful. Love those tulips in the background, too. Thanks for sharing
Love it! And the Twilly is my favoriteChannelling Pampelmuse! This mug is a gift from a lovely friend a couple of years ago and has followed me and Kelly ever since!

Yep, burts bees lip balm has been about as much as I've done too in the past 5 weeks. It took me a second to get used to color on my face again. I think I was blinded my by lips for a bit.
I am same boat with you. I am still trying to get used to the bright and bold colors. You Medor is beautiful!!! But I love the Ceramic behind it. Gorgeous piece of art!!!The worst case is hand it over to the real artist hands
wow, they are truly collectible pieces!!!!loveeeeee them!!!This is my old saddle. I haven’t used it in 20 years. Nor have I cleaned it or polished the silver (obviously!).

can your metal-men security team ride them?I just ordered toy horses from Amazon.....I couldn’t stop myself.
Ha! this house arrest is really extending the life expectancy of H’s new lipsticks! altho the lip balm and I are having twice-daily meetings.Getting ready for virtual cocktail hour. I can't even remember the last time I wore lipstick.
Thank you! I love seeing your crafty pieces of art.
I've never been a crafty one myself, but seeing yours may inspire me to give a try one of these days.

That saddle is gorgeous! It goes with your B so well. I will have to show my daughter the picture of your saddle. She's going to love it.
