Permit me some indulgence today as it is my birthday. I wasn't going to post anything about it until I had a look at the incredible haul of stylish gifts I received this morning and I felt that it may be permissable to deviate slightly from my usual posts to show you some of my goodies. I have incredibly generous friends and family and in amongst the brand new washing machine, the pristine white fluffy towels, the wonderful table napkins and the most divine grey scraf, I also received from my clever friend Jane, a bowl from Jesse's collection at the Nest show in Obs, a box from Fritha Langerman's 2002 exhibition, and a collection of other fine and beautiful things. I am a lucky and spoiled girl.
