#Birthday Delight #Handmade #Folksy.

Happy Birthday to me today!!! I am looking forward to an enjoyable day that will end with a lovely meal out with my younger daughter and her fiance.
Because it is my birthday and I am feeling generous, I am going to have a one day sale of 25% off everything, refunded via paypal. That`s to save me changing all the prices, mainly because I would also then have to change them back again. That would be a lot of work for a one day sale.
Today I am going to have a wander and add random things that I really like the look of to this blog. Whatever I choose, don`t forget that each shop has a wide variety of items on offer for your delectation. So do take a little time for a browse and support the handmade community by buying unique gifts from us. Or treats for yourself of course. You could be like me and buy something as a gift and then not be able to part with it and then have to buy something else as a gift. Not to mention that I face temptation daily as I find all these wonderful items to put on here to tempt you with.
As per usual, to see a larger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.

I`m having a birthday today
`How Old?` did I hear you say?
I`m 55 and very proud to be
this age and so very happy.
Is that sappy? Probably, who cares!
I can be eccentric and ignore the stares.
Age has lots of bonuses I`ve found
you can sing and not care how you sound.
Wear whatever you like in colour and style,
then change it all after a little while.
I really like colour it makes me feel good
so I wear how I feel, just as I should.
I am very happy, but also a bit sad,
it`s nearly a year since I lost my Dad.
I miss that special card he always chose for me
always a beautiful verse and wonderful to see.
There will be other cards I`ll love as much
with wonderful sentiments that will touch
my heart in so many ways
on this very special of days.
Opening presents by ripping off the paper
and all the cards, what a wonderful caper.
Bithdays spent with those you love are fun
with memories to savour when the day is done.
A hug and a kiss is more precious than gold
A cuddle with a grandchild a treasure untold.
Such memories are stored every day,
not just once a year on a birthday!

  13. Happy birthday Linda. Your verse certainly struck a cord as I reached 54 years last month. My daughters were as pleased as I that you included one of my quilts on your blog. I hope you had a wonderful day and thanks again for your support. Lynn
