If you follow me on instagram, you already know my friends may way too big a deal out of my birthday. The story goes like this…while I love, love, love my job, I really didn’t want to work on my birthday. So, I found a quaint little courtyard at The Hart and The Hunter and asked my super talented friends if they would make it pretty for me, so I could just relax. And they went way, way, way beyond anything I could’ve expected. With “Age of Aquarius” as their inspiration, they took a plain ole courtyard and blue picnic tables into utter magic. Check out the pictures below and I have so many people to thank, so here it goes:
