Happy birthday, Ornella!! It's we who are privileged to have you here, my word! I don't know how you do it all, AND with such grace, patience and quiet strength: moving to a new country, building a new house, creating a new home for you and your family, learning a new language, preparing for a new job and career, tweaking your wardrobe for your new lifestyle (I always enjoy reading about your biking style, e.g.) and all the while looking super stylish and taking the time to chime in on the forum, always willing to help everyone in your kind and very wise way. I love your elegant WIWs just as much as I love your sharing little peeks into your daily life with us. Thanks so much for that!
(I didn't get a chance to comment, but was so touched by your recent back-to-school post. We often went on holiday to Germany when I was a child, and just looking at the big cones made me a little nostalgic. My sis and I LOVED them, and always wished the tradition would catch on in Belgium too:-) It was beautiful to see that your son gets to be part of this now.
I hope your special day is marvelous!! Let's hope a YLF meet-up will take place very soon:-)
P.S. I also still want you to find the perfect length red trench, and am still keeping an eye out for you.
