Lá breithe sona dom...

I have always loved birthdays...what's not to love...it's the one day in the year that is officially yours (and your parents), you generally get pressies and people are nice to you...and it gives you an excuse to gather your friends and party!
I got lots of lovely gifts and lots of cáca milis (cake) this year...lucky girl...

Foodie Friday

Today's post is all about the sweet side of life. I don't know if I will have enough time here in New York to taste all the goodies they have on offer, but I sure will try my best!

I especially enjoyed having German Chocolate Cake for dinner the other night at Amy's Breads on Bleeker Street(other locations in Hell's Kitchen and Chelsea).

Dylan's Candy Bar on Third Avenue is out of this world and a must for anyone with a sweet tooth or a hankering for some old-time goodies, they've got it all! And the smell is just pure sugar when you walk in...

This shelf is just taunting me, and setting me up for a challenge I hope I won't fail :)

No SATC fanatic/sweet tooth lady's trip to Manhattan would be complete without a visit to the delicious Magnolia Bakery. The morning we got there we were lucky, there were no queues and we doubled up on our order...yum, yum, it's gotta be done! (Credit to Dee for the second shot, thanks!) I finally got to try red velvet cupcakes and boy, they are sweet!

The M&M shop on Times Square is a mecca for all M&M fans (and we certainly had one of those in our group!!!)

This one is for all my peeps, love it!

Tasti-d-lite, fat free frozen goodness (except for the reese's pieces toppings!), 'nuff said!

So, I'll leave you with this thought for the day...

Christening argyle slipover

Less than a week to go until my beautiful nephew, and soon-to-be godson, gets christened and I am only at the start of the second side of his cream and baby blue christening slipover! Panic begins to set in when I realise I am back to work tomorrow with lots of visiting and tea parties to fit in during the next few days, add to that the baking of cupcakes for the after party and I realise I should have been knitting away months ago! :)
Will post photos of the slipover once it's finished.
