Had a lovely dinner in Mao, in my beloved Dundrum shopping centre, with a very sweet friend, who treated me to said cocktail. Cheers!
I also got me a sweet little elephant keyring to replace an old and symbolic one that I needed to get rid of.
There are very nice bags on sale in Accessorize. Could someone please bring me shopping? Apart from the keyring, I was good today. Wore blinkers passing through all the sales to the left and right of me.
Before Christmas, I meant to blog about the fab and surprisingly cheap cardboard cake-stand I found in Harvey Nichol's - it's all gold and pink and blue frenchy sweet chic mixed patterns, it's SO perfect. I partly didn't due to business, but also the fact that I wanted to demand it for Christmas, and I felt that I should really have grown a bit beyond it. Even though it would have been the perfect present for C to buy me. So I bought myself one, and asked Axel to give it to me for Christmas. He ignored it, but I've used it once already - and tonight, C gave it to me, too :) because she is sweet and kind and aware that I no longer have a generous mother who loves to buy me nice things.
So thank you again, C, for being so caring of me and knowing what's just right. That is the best gift of all.
On the other side of it, one of the most frustrating things for me is seeing perfect things for people and not being able to buy them for all my friends. Oh for independent wealth/eccentric millionairism. You'd all be indundated with perfect things, yes indeed. Crates of condensed milk to bathe in, Danielle, and cupcakes couriered by private eco-jet (my boffins would have invented that) for you all.

ps: will there be another hapless new year's eve post tomorrow night? Who knows... a song maybe... we'll see...

Hah - that cocktail picture is FORBIDDEN for me to look at, it says!
Me too! I'll have to go get a less verboten one.
It's because it's so tasty it will make you want to drink it endlessly, and instead of water...
Okay. Recipe please. No verboten here.
ah the joy of my cosmos...yum yum...i wish i could have some with you...one or two..or 25...:-)
use contreau instead of triple sec!
I changed the picture, Mary!
I would say just google the recipe measurements - it's vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice and ... Cointreau... :) something tells me Danielle doesn't measure.
Danielle, quick, send Cointreau in a taxi, please :)
I have to confess I feel like seven kinds of supercrap this morning, though...
oh i measure..with my eye..:-) to make it supergood always take a bit more wodka then they say, a bit less contreau and a bit more cranberry juice.....very very nice..:-)
i would be interested in one of those cupcake deliveries, just parachute it off the plane, i'm sure your boffins will invent steerable parachutes so that my crate of cakes lands right on my garden table?
Oh, I positively salivated in Accessorize the other day. We have a new one over here in my shopping centre. The first one I've ever seen in Belgium. I loved loved loved their stuff. I also had to ignore it all. I moaned about it to Babes. I love that you liked the same stuff as me.
