Apologies for not writing sooner! A combination of an enthusiastic reading schedule & a need for recovery meant that I haven’t really had time to write. Until now that is! I’m back baby! & things are going to be brighter & better than ever! I thought I would share some photos from my 21st birthday party.

The theme was “Casino Royal” which meant I could enjoy two of my favourite things; cocktails & card games! I managed to hire some professional croupiers & card tables from Love2Party, acquire a substantial amount of liqueurs & whip up some delicious vegetarian finger food. The scene was set & all that was needed now were the guests! Revelry ensued! Here are my favourite photos form the evening;

The two winners of the evening; together they won forty-seven thousand dollars! In play money of course….

Well dressed party goers!

My aunts & two of my cousins

Bow ties ahoy!

“wardrobe catastrophe” indeed!

At the poker table

& the roulette table

& the blackjack table!

Handing out cash….as you do!

Fun with chips

In lieu of a birthday cake I had cupcakes & a tea light - awesome!

My Mum & my Dad

Everybody pout!

& the evening ends!

When I was a kid I never bothered with birthday wish lists, or Christmas wish lists either for that matter. I was, it seemed one of the most content children around. Now however, things are a little different & that’s not to say for the worst. I think its fun to dream up extravagant lists & imagine the fantastic. It just so happens to be my birthday soon, so I thought I would whip up a wish list - it can’t hurt to ask right? Of course not - so here it is!

A night of bubbly drinks and thrilling card games, a Sony Vaio laptop (TZ series in case you were wondering!), a comfy cashmere cardigan, dainty crochet gloves, a talored blazer, knee high argyle socks, more teacups & saucers! A phone of my own (my last was mercilessly destroyed when I splashed water on it), a ticket outta here (oh yes!), Christian Louboutin patent pumps, vintage cameos, a potted orchid - my favourite flower, magazine subscriptions, decaffinated earl grey tea (find some for me & I will love you forever!), Alexander McQueen Skull Clutch, potted herbs & a big stack of books!
