Loving My Golden Birthday Month

Sweetie-pie wonderfully struck again with another golden birthday surprise... a vintage gold purse sold by one of my favorite flickr/etsy photographer/bloggers, Elle Moss. She sells some of her used props on Etsy and not only is the purse what the French call, Super Cool (imagine the accent s'il vous plait), BUT she included one of her beautiful pictures and wrapped the whole package in the prettiest paper!!! And her prices are beyond reasonable, so please check her out.

June is almost over and I have one more birthday gift to share with you, but I'm awaiting its arrival... I bought it for myself with $ my grandma sends me every year for my birthday (I'm her only/the only grandchild). Stay tuned.

Until next time... Miss Absinthe

My First Ever Diana F+ Pic!

Birthday lunch at Breadbar (addicted, oui!) and the manager was so sweet and created an incredible mini-dessert sampler (chocolate souffle, creme brulee and bread pudding) for me to share.

As you can see, I had difficulty advancing the frame and a double exposure occurred. That's what I love about this camera, a marriage of creativity and chaos.

I just finished shooting the second roll today, mainly in my neighborhood alleyways and keeping fingers crossed, will have something groovy to post next week!

Until next time... Miss Absinthe

A Jar-ring Birthday Experience

Sweetie-pie took me to Jar for the first time for my birthday (6/3) and a lovely time was had by all... Divine Kobe steak (my first), mashed potatoes and sauteed pea tendrils (both shared) and then... oh yes... butterscotch pudding with salted caramel sauce that we shared and couldn't finish, despite really wanting too.

Until next time... Miss Absinthe

Birthday Haul - Gemini's Rule!

Diana F+ Nightcap plastic camera from husband for the artist side and a 1930's French hand-beaded evening bag from my dearest darling friends & neighbors (Camille and Lisa!) for the vintage girly girl side! The butterfly was part of the wrapping and is now part of my bedroom decor. Everything accented with gold... ah yes, I love my birthday!

Until next time... Miss Absinthe

ps. Is it wrong to brag that I share my birthday with Josephine Baker and Tony Curtis? I aspire to their cool...
