Tiny Birthday Cake ~

Our little granddaughter Annika turned 2 years old this past Sunday so we are celebrating with her tonight... I made this little cake for her...it is so tiny and cute! It is only 5 inches in diameter. I will put two pink candles on it when it is time... Looked for the perfect card...you know how some cards are $3 and $4 each...well I love this one and it was only 88 cents *AND* it has sparkles too...Yes I know she isn't going to care about the card, but had to get one for her keepsakes ~
Simple birthday greeting inside that says it all...
Take time to enjoy the special moments in your life and stop and smell the roses.
Blessings ~

Happy Birthday To You ~

Happy Birthday to everyone out there in blog land who is celebrating a birthday today! I just had to share this adorable vintage birthday card from my stash. As I have stated before I just love vintage greeting cards, postcards and any other pretty vintage paper items and this one is just too cute! It is so adorable with it's little chubby birds sitting on a music note.

Initially I scanned this card so I could share it with you and the foil music note turned out real dark, so I opted to go this route. (If anyone out there wants me to post it scanned so you can copy it please let me know)

If you can imagine this card was included in a HUGE box (and I mean huge) of hundreds of vintage greeting cards that I purchased at an antique mall a few years ago for $12.00. I am thinking there were 300-500 cards in that box if not more. I was like a kid in a candy store as I took out each beautiful card and my head was filled with thoughts of who sent it, what were they like etc... I think that was a once in a lifetime find. I since have sold a lot of them on ebay , but I kept my favorite ones and this one is at the top of my list. Have a beautiful day! Blessings! Sandi
