Happy birthday Diana, hope your day is wonderful.

Happy birthday, Diana! Enjoy your special day.

Happy Birthday, Diana! Hope you have a great day.

Happy Birthday, I hope it's a lovely day.

Happy Birthday Diana! Your Arty Edgy style is such an inspiration! I love seeing your WIWs. I hope your day is really special!

Happy Birthday Diana! I greatly enjoy your eclectic style. Wishing you a fab year ahead.

Aww, YLF is the BEST!!!!! =) Thanks for all the birthday wishes, Angie and everyone!

As I posted yesterday, we celebrated a day early by going out for high tea, which was very lovely. Today is a work day so we are not doing anything big, although we will have birthday noodle soup (a weird tradition in my family) and cake tonight. Depending on how busy I am today at lab, I may nip out early and take myself shopping. I want to treat myself to new loungewear (not too exciting, but cozy).

Oh, and fashion-wise, I ordered myself a new handbag but it has not arrived yet. It's a replacement for the Le Pliage I lost in Athens. I got the Planetes this time (all black).

That sounds brilliant, Diana. I'm off to look at your High Tea Outfit. Happy birthday special lady. xo

Hoping you have a wonderful birthday Diana! It's always so nice seeing your posts and your wonderful handmade items too. Birthday noodle soup sounds like a fun tradition!

Happy Birthday! I loved your pics of high tea; what a way to celebrate your birthday! Hope you have a really fabulous day, and all your experiments work!

Happy birthday, Diana! Sorry to be late here. Everything Angie said is spot-on... Having met you in person, I can attest to how warm and kind you are in addition to being a style icon and whip-smart. Xoxo - hope to meet up again soon!

Happy Birthday lovely Diana! You add so much to this community. I love your style, your smile, and the way you always give honest feedback.

Diana, happy birthday! I've been fortunate to meet you for real a few times and I always appreciate your humor, kindness and intelligence, not to mention your ability to prioritize (leaving work to hang out with us when Una came to town, for example). Your style is awesome, and your knitting skills make me want to weep. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Birthday noodle soup and cake for dessert sound brilliant, Diana. Happy, happy birthday, beautiful lady!! I just commented on your other two threads, and seeing those two fab outfits confirmed once again that you are so completely in touch with your highly individual and absolutely fantastic style, Diana. I love how each and every outfit has something a little unexpected (the asymmetric drape of a top, a gorgeous pattern in a sweater, beautiful layering, fantastic skirts). You really always find unique pieces that are 100% you. And I am in eternal awe of your knitting skills, I could hardly believe that you made the gorgeous sweater you were wearing to tea yesterday yourself. How do you do it!!

Your warm smile, positive let's-do-it attitude, generous and honest nature, spontaneous and heartfelt feedback and support all make you the very special lady that you are!

Wishing you a magical day and a year filled with everything you dream of.

Happy birthday! Sounds like a fun day planned.

Happy Birthday! I love seeing your hand knit pieces and your WIW are always inspirational.

Happy Birthday Diana! Your edgy artistic style is a great source of inspiration. I am so impressed you knit such amazing pieces as well. Hope you enjoyed your high tea and birthday soup

Happy Happy day and all year to you Diana!

I loved reading all about your wedding prep, you are a radiant and joyful bride!

Happy birthday Diana! Hope you have a fab and fun day!

Happy birthday! I love your smile.

Happy Birthday, Diana! You blew me away with your recent post featuring your hand knit sweater! You seem like an amazingly talented, kind person with a wonderful sense of your own style and valuable feedback for other YLFers.

Also, as a relative YLF newbie, I just found out by reading this thread that you are recently married. What an exciting year for you!

Happy birthday! I continue to be amazed by your special and unique style and awed by your knitting prowess.

Happy happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Diana! You are so much fun and I love all of your hand knitted sweaters and items. Keep on knitting (bonus: it keeps you warm, right?).
