birthday planning & gifts

my birthday is this saturday! i don't really have any plans, but i wanted to decorate my house for it. so, i am making a triangle flag banner. i'm kinda excited about it & i'll let you know how it turns out! i also want to make paper chains & string white lights everywhere : )

my cousin wendy just went home today after a short two-day visit. we went thrifting & took polaroid pictures. she gave me an early birthday gift! it is this vintage purse which had all kinds of vintage surprises inside. & she made the card & envelope!

these buttons are my favorite! they are old metal buttons with little scenes. it's kind of hard to see them but i think if you click on the photo it should get big.

since i have a little extra time, i'm going to reply to comments today!

sarah: yes! i didn't even make the connection until another blogger said something similar!

lemon: why thank you! it does sound perfect doesn't it? i'm enjoying every minute.

ben zen: hello! yes you should, the ones i had tasted perfect.

penelope: awe, well i think the puppies are definite winners : )

kait: hehe, he is pretty neat : ). oh i cannot function correctly without my 8 hours!

mae: oh i am so glad you like them! i try to pick my favorites that kind of go with my blog. your comment is so flattering! thanks : )
