morning tea, a birthday gift, clyde, & saint-paul-de-vence

my morning "pre-breakfast:" a gluten free brownie and belloq tea (l'etoile de l'inde) . .

yesterday, chanda and i worked on our travel plans before she hurried off to a duncan class downtown, and then her ballet/forsythe workshop. korrina joined me in the afternoon for a knitting date before she went to her friend's birthday party. she had a beautiful gift and card for me in celebration of my birthday: two exquisite linen dishcloths handsewn by a woman from yemen and sold through a collaboration with M spring studio. i think she found them at the seventh heaven street fair in park slope. they're really lovely and the green looks pretty in the kitchen.

our good friend clyde is back in town, and he helped me map out our travel plans while greg troubleshooted a network emergency and chanda danced at her workshop. we'll be passing by his hometown on our way to san francisco, which is a little sad because all of us have always wanted to have a california visit together, but we'll see him again in august in nyc before he goes back. i guess we'll have to do another cali trip sometime when he's there . .
