Lovely Birthday Gifts!


Happy Monday, everyone! Finally - the birthday celebrations are over! My "official" 40th party was Saturday night. Photos to come later, above is my real birthday cake. The photo isn't that great, but at least you can see it!

Today I wanted to show you some of the lovely and generous gifts birthday gifts I received. First let me say I am blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. I KNOW I am a very lucky girl!

From my friend over at Caroline Grace Jewelry...a cuff bracelet in gold leather with an embellished seahorse. This cuff is stunning in person - I've worn it several times already. The gold goes with everything and is a perfect late summer wardrobe addition. You can view on CGJ's Etsy site HERE. Thank you, Caroline Grace!


From my lovely friend Heather, a silver seashell platter. I was so surprised when I received Heather's gift, what a sweet friend she is! We used it at my birthday party to display the pink and green M and M's and it was perfect. Thanks so much, Heather!


My friend Kim from My Life Through Pink (Green and Blue, too) Colored Glasses sent a lovely gift basket from Bath & Body Works. Believe me, after all this celebrating, I can certainly use it. I'm in desperate need of some pampering! Thank you Kim, what a thoughtful and unexpected gift. BTW, if you're not following Kim's blog, please go and check it out. She's the sweetest!




I have more photos and gifts to share, and will be doing so occasionally over the next week. Thanks to Caroline Grace, Heather and Kim for my gifts. You gals are all so sweet and thoughtful! ♥ you!

In unrelated news, we have a winner in the Lifeguard Press giveaway. Congratulations to "Sally" - you will receive the Lilly agenda in your choice of print. Please contact me (lori.driver@hotmail.com) with your selection and shipping address.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday and a great week!
