41 Candles - What a Week Part 3
Sunday, June 1st was my birthday. Turning 40 was not a big deal, turning 41 has me on the downhill side now and it feels weird. I have an overwhelming urge to act my age and start wearing bathing suits with the little skirts on them. As I had spent the previous weekend living it up in Seattle my birthday was low key. Spent the first half of the day at the Portland Gift Show spending my money on all sorts of beautiful jewelry, most for photo shoots, not all. Highlights included a serpent head beaded wrap bracelet and this amazing Victorian magnifying glass pendant set in sterling silver that is to die for. Unfortunately my mother drove off with everything in her car so I will have to collect them later this week.

The second half of the day was spent at the studio shooting with a tried and true model. I did learn that late afternoon light is not so bright and morning is better but still the shots promise to be lovely.

The evening was spent bossing my husband around as he played the role of man slave and indulged my whims. That was delicious fun and fully deserved now that I am a woman of a certain age and entitled to such things.

Are my wrinkles starting to show?
