TGIF, 3/2/12 Edition

Before we officially end my birthday week...yes, I do mean 'week'...I thought I'd share a few photos of it.

On Tuesday (my actual birthday), Adam brought me to Kanella, a restaurant just a short walk from our apartment that specializes in Cypriot food--pretty cool, right? Kanella's chef, Konstantinos Pitsillides, was recently named a 2012 semifinalist for the "Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic" award from The James Beard Foundation. 

What a great birthday dinner it was!

 Adam and I devoured the saganaki, sheftali, lamb chops, and pumpkin-stuffed 'winter ravioli' (which I just had to take a picture of, below):

 And, really, no birthday is complete without a few gifts, am I right?

Family and friends were so kind with their cards and presents...I feel so lucky.

One particular gift, a set of vintage silhouette scenes from my aunt, sparked a project..

Be on the look out for that next week!

I hope you all enjoy a lovely first weekend of March.

Come back next week, when I'll be sharing several projects I've been cooking up around here.
