Early Birthday Presents

I must have been a good girl in the past year, I got some really nice birthday presents (it is my 29th birthday by the way, in about 5 years I will turn 39 and then just stay there, I think ;) ).
My friend Sabine in Germany sent me two books from my amazon wish-list:

Our friends Gerhard and Regine in Vienna showed quite a lot of trust in the postal systems on both sides of the big pond by sending me this (ain't it cute?):


Even Miss Kitty likes it. :)
