Do thou snatch treasures from my lips, and I'll take kingdoms from thine.




 Birthday presents have an interesting connotation, because they reflect the way in which we are perveived by our loved ones. Additionally they symbolize all the affection, respect and consideration about the honoree. And of course gifts always will have that kind of magic aura capable of transporting us back to childhood and transforming a reasonable grown-up in a laughing toddler.
















































This year (because I am always such a good girl) I have received lots of stunning treasures, those includying a luxury beauty treatment that I could probably not afford myself at the moment (thankie mum), a sparkling tiara, earrings, broochs and bracelet (yes, I am as a magpie fascinated by shinning stuff) , and a dinky customized ex-libris showing my name and a bunch of Art Noveau flowers ( I need to sign all my beloved books with a decorative sign).
Everything is so lovely!





























































































The Gentle One gave me a long-term wanted set of straightener and curling irons. So yes, as you guessed lots of funny (and disastrous, I am sure) hair experiments are coming.
I also was gifted with an exquisite Elisabethan corset, a dainty lace top and a gorgeous silk scarf but I thought those would be better portrayed in many future outfit posts. 
This way all fun is not wasted, is it?

    1. It was a big surprise when the ex-libris was given to me. One of my friends visited a shop with me many months ago and when we saw the stamps in the shop window I said that I absolutely would adore having one for myself. And she remembered about that!

  3. Great stamp! I love it a lot! I have an exlibris stamp back at my mother's but it isn't nearly as pretty as yours.

    1. Thank you, but the merit has to go to my friend, as long as she chose the design for me :)
