Juju!

Almost forgot to show you what I received from Timothy O for my birthday!

A Juju Hat.

These spectacular headdresses are traditionally worn by the village chief in the Cameroon region of Africa for special tribal festivities. Rooster feathers are gathered and woven onto a raffia fibre base to display a beautiful oversized circle, which can also be folded up for easy transport - not that mine is going anywhere; I think it looks right at home in the living room!

I absolutely love it!

Thank you Louise at Table Tonic!.... and ofcourse Timothy O.

The birthday festivities just keep rolling on here! We are off to Bonnie Doon* (as my friend Sally affectionately calls it) for a few days of fresh beach air and a good dose of sunshine.

A big thank you to all of our lovely friends and customers who braved that crazy wild wind and came by on Saturday to wish me a happy birthday - I felt very special... and a little wind chaffed too. Thank you Noemi for the gorgeous cake!

Happy Birthday Timothy O

Ta Dah........ Happy Birthday Timothy O!!! Even at 30 years of age you are still getting bikes for your birthday... well, not any sort of bike.... a Tokyo Bike!

As you can see I have taken a couple of sneaky shots of the ***new bike***, which I cleverly hid in Frankie - Timothy O never would of thought to look in there!

Tokyo Bike are an independent bicycle company in Sydney. In their words here is a bit about them.....

"The inspiration and ethos for Tokyo Bike begun with the name, Tokyo Bike. In the same way that a mountain bike is suitable for riding across mountains, Tokyo Bike was conceived of as the perfect way to ride around Tokyo.We imagined people enjoying themselves, navigating the city on their bikes. We focussed on comfort above speed, and lightness when pedalling to allow riders to forget that they are riding and simply enjoy the city air."

They even have a short film - they are just too cool!

So, there you have it, Happy Birthday Timothy O, hope you enjoy the wind blowing through your hair on your bicycle today...... and sorry I was a bit cranky last night, keeping secrets is stressful!
