It's my Birthday... again.





Judging by the 2 candles on the cake, I'd say this was my second birthday, 1978


Today is my 36th birthday. Which means, I am now closer to 40 than I am to 30, and nowhere near 2 - - and that is a bit surreal. I often hear people say I don't feel {insert age here} and I can't honestly say I do either... but mostly because, I have no idea exactly how being {insert age here} feels. I suppose I will tell you next year. My 30's have been pretty spectacular in general though... my favorite decade yet. I can say that since I was a child, I have always looked forward to being an adult. In fact, I couldn't wait for the life I'm living now. And while it does look a little differently than I thought it would without children of my own running around, it's pretty darn fantastic and I wouldn't change a single thing.

My mom saved a few "choice" outfits from my childhood and returned them to me when she handed down the antique cedar chest that resides in our master bedroom at the moment, still full of my childhood outfits... this is one of them. I'm guessing she saved it because it was from Saks... or maybe just because she liked it. I was a bit shocked that the elastic is still fully intact in both the skirt and the top. Now that's quality ;)




So of course, LeRoy was a doll and modeled it for me...




Happy Friday Lovecats!


...and happy June as well.

I am a total sucker for dogs in clothes. Also, how very sweet of your mom to save some of your childhood clothes for you, I love digging through old stuff my mom has saved over the years, it brings back so many memories.

Happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday!
I know! I so agree with you!
Birthday days have never been a very happy days for me partialy because as you say I never exactly know how to feel and partially because that day is for us, girls totally ruined by the beauty industry. I now understand that age is only a number that don't represent us at all and we shouldn't be trapped into it. It's just a way to count time and nothing else, we have to try to live life as we want it to be and not how we should be at a certain age. Labels are always less than what we are! So happy birthday,you are fabulous!

Holly said...
