third birthday beret
The super of our building, Semmy, has two gorgeous children and the eldest, Selma, turns three years old today. She loves nothing better than standing outside the building with her daddy and greeting everyone as they come in and out. Miss Personality Plus. No one can ignore her and it doesn’t hurt that she has a smile that lights up the entire neighborhood, and long dark curly hair. Beautiful! Bruce is completely in love with her, so in our home, she’s known as his girlfriend. When she stands outside at around the same time everyday, she will frequently call up to our window for him to poke his head out and say hello to her. So sweet. I thought she should have a special present from her boyfriend for her birthday, and she loves pink (what three-year-old doesn’t??), so this morning I whipped up a mini-version of the Ballon, in a very soft bright pink wool boucle, with a pale pink silk lining. Her boyfriend is now busy making a special card for her. Update: we caught her just before her nap, but I think she likes it!
happy birthday girl

Ah! How wonderful to see a photo of our favorite super’s adorable daughter here… and how sweet of you to make such a cute hat for her. She’s lucky to have a boyfriend with such a nice partner.
