Rosa and I were cooking for the party on Saturday when the doorbell rang and, to my great surprise and delight, these beautiful flowers arrived from jmb in Canada!
[I am all scruffy in my cooking clothes.]
Here they are again:
On Sunday morning I was cooking when these fabulous tulips arrived from the Italy Magazine gang
along with this one for Simi, who was very waggy indeed:
I'd just started cooking again when these pretty pastel tulips were delivered from my Modican friends Marco, Giovanna, Giancarla and Laura:
By 2pm it was panic stations and I sent an SOS to Linda, who immediately came to help with the preparations, bringing these spring lovelies:
And at 6pm, when the party began, kind Lucia brought these gorgeous yellow roses:
So I now have a very cheerful sitting room and I want to sit in it all the time as it's like being in a profumeria. Thank you to all my thoughtful friends.
I think the florists of Modica had a good day too!

You're having a wonderful birthday week. Enjoy.
What lovely flowers you received. It must smell great in your place.
How lovely to be inundated with flowers and I can imagine how wonderful your room looked and smelled.
It sounds as if you were cooking up a storm and I am sorry I missed out on the taste sensations although I am sure there are photos to come.
How beautiful i so love fresh flowers in the house ..... :-)
What gorgeous flowers and what wonderful friends you have. Spring has arrived at your house first. The party must have been a very happy one.
Oh that's grand isn't it? I think nothing is as cheery as fresh flowers - they just lift the spirits. Happy Days to you.
Looking good there, kid. The flowers too.
Wow! What lovely friends!
I am sure your home will be more like a florist shop - perhaps you will have sixty dozen bouquets, as you so richly deserve, by the time your 61st birthday rolls around!! I hope you had a nice celebration with all your friends.
What a lucky girl you are to have so many wonderful friends :-)
