Doling Out the Presents

Because I lack anything noteworthy to say, I'll show you some of my birthday presents. Lucky you! I don't have pictures of all of them yet, so we'll do this a few at a time. A map of Savannah, suitable for framing (which will eventually happen) from Turn of the Century seller on etsy. I saw this same print at my niece's place (in Savannah, of course) and I had to have one. Luckily someone was paying attention.
This next item is a Mason Bee House. Kinda like a condo for bees. The Mason bees take up residence in the condo and pollinate the hell out of your garden. Unless it's a vacation condo, then I'm in trouble. I can't remember where my sister bought it, but if she reads this, maybe she'll enlighten us.Next we have a gorgeous blue (purple?) hydrangea from my in-laws. They had it delivered to my office at work. It's so cool to get flowers at work. This bad boy will eventually make it outside to become a permanent resident of the yard, where everyone will be able to enjoy it.
I also got this: which has already been returned. Apparently I'm a bike snob. One ride and two collapsed lungs later, I decided I was far better suited to this: Unfortunately there's a little problem with the $350 difference. Like I don't have it. That's a problem.
More presents to show off soon. I am so loved. sigh.

The be house was also from Etsy. Oh, and you'll be getting a package in the mail today or tomorrow. Not a birthday gift, but who dopesn't like surprizes?

First things first - you might have noticed I've changed the name of the blog. Knitting NonPareil was appropriate at one time, but I don...
