Just whose birthday was it?!

As I said in an earlier post, last weekend was Mr SE's birthday but I also was given gifts from him. Very lucky.
If you remember Mr SE came to England briefly with me (via Paris for meetings) but then went off back to Australia by way of Singapore and the Grand Prix. Not only did he bring me back a beautiful pair of dark grey pearl earrings but also this lovely orange iconic carrier bag above....
which contained this beautiful be-ribboned box....


And inside the box a cotton carrier with a little drawstring top.


And - Ta-Dah......!! A bottle of beautiful Rose Ikebana Hermessence fragrance. It is so beautiful - described as :
"A contrast of rose petal and crisp rhubarb. Airy, delicate, sparkling" ... quite unusual with the rhubarb notes but I really love it. It's green and uplifting - just the kind of fragrance that appeals to me.



Look how lovely the bottle is too with the leather top. Just gorgeous. I had only had a very small bottle before and finished it quite quickly I loved it so much. Am very happy and yup, I know....
Spoilt!

  14. Hello all and thanks for the very sweet comments as ever...You are all so kind. Orange boxed gifts are so lovely!! And I think the main question was - what did I get Mr SE.? To be honest, very boring gifts but he wanted them !! Gadgetty things for his Apple MacBook including a "magic mouse" - I would HATE to be a boy and get gadgets but that is what he loves. I also bought him some clothes too (because that is what I love!) - some trousers - slate grey brushed cotton - casual - he looks v. nice in them and liked them too. Lily Riani thanks for becoming the latest follower and pleased you like the blog. You are number 87 - will I make 100 by Christmas I ask myself??!! X
