Thank you, everyone!

Thank you to everyone for your fine birthday wishes! I am enjoying my final slice of lemon and raspberry birthday cake as I type, and it is delicious.

1. motetus drew me the most beautiful cross-dressing Lucrezia everty-ever, OMG, it is so beautiful, all of you who have not seen it yet should go over to her post here to gape in amazement at Lucrezia and her amazing stubborn face and her beautiful cape and her sword (and the hilt of the sword!) and EVERYTHING, OMG.

Um, so clearly I need to get on that story about Lucrezia cross-dressing to saving Cesare from his vampire lover. It must be worthy of this glorious piece of art!



2. The Starbucks where I went to get my free birthday drink could not process cards this morning! Oh no! But the manager gave me a free drink anyway, hooray hooray!

3. I had a tea party! When we went to the farmer's market this weekend, my mother got me the most beautiful bouquet with white snapdragons and a pink lily, and it seemed a shame not to have at least one tea party under its aegis, so I threw myself and my books a tiny tea party with baked brie and fruit.







4. I had a splendid if tiny birthday party with Caitlin H. and Rick. Caitlin supplied the aforementioned lemon-raspberry cake, while Rick supplied the...factoids about serial killers?

We were watching the pilot of Twin Peaks, so the serial killer comments were actually perfectly on topic. It is a very nineties show - it is so very nineties it might actually be eighties - but very effective! We have agreed to make Twin Peaks night a thing. We shall see! Presumably I will get all the characters sorted out eventually...

*cheers for cross-dressing Lucrezia and the vampires*

That looks like a thoroughly civilised tea.

[osprey-archer.livejournal.com]

It was indeed. Nothing says civilized quite like brie.

Sounds like an excellent birthday! :)

Ohhhhh, I saw that Lucrezia art come across my dash on Tumblr!

[osprey-archer.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm glad the picture is making the rounds!

I saw motetus's Lucrezia Borgia on Tumblr--gorgeous!

Did you know if you get a job interview at Starbucks, they give you a free coffee? Cool, huh!

[osprey-archer.livejournal.com]

I did not know that Starbucks interviewees got coffee! I suppose it puts interviewees at ease, so they get to know them better.

Happy birthday! The tea looks lovely.

My housemate is a huge fan of Twin Peaks, but it seems to often have her running out of the living room to bang on my door and gibber til the scary bits are over? For what that's worth.

[osprey-archer.livejournal.com]

This is why we are watching it all together! So we will be able to wibble about the scary bits together.

What a beautiful tea! <3 My mouth is watering at the raspberries in the picture...and at the mention of lemon-raspberry cake (which I've never had but am dying to try now!)! Yumm! :D I'm always so thrilled to see you making good use of the teapot I sent -- yay! *cheers*

So glad you enjoyed your birthday! You have a wonderful group of friends. :)

The teapot has been splendid! A tea party is so much more a tea party with a teapot instead of just individual mugs.

[poeticknowledge.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! :) And agreed! Beautiful teapots really do make a tea party feel more official and complete! <3 I always love going to Tea at the Gallery and being surrounded by so many lovely paintings and admiring all of the beautiful teapots on our table and in their store -- SO GORGEOUS! :D *in heaven*

Ooh, what a delicious-looking tea party! I love your pretty teacup and saucer - it reminds me I should post a photo of my new Polish tea set.

[osprey-archer.livejournal.com]

You should, you should! Tea set pictures are always gorgeous.

Lovely, lovely flowers! I'm glad you had a faboo birthday, sweetness.
