The spoils of birthday!!

So... I am officially sick, though now medicated so hopefully on the mend. I have an upper respiratory infection and tonsilitis, so I am on  an antibiotic and a nasal spray. I am still planning to do my birthday shopping day with my mom and sister tomorrow. I may still be hacking and coughing, but I will still have fun. I just refuse to give up one of my favorite yearly events just because I'm sick. :)

I wanted to share some of the awesome gifts I received from my friends and family for my birthday.
My friend Janet got me an amazing Kermit the Frog messenger bag. I love it and I'm carrying it everywhere.


Seth got me a personalized Saints jersey (I'm a saints fan), three new Jack of Fables books, an expansion pack for the card game Gloom (which is a great game), and an itunes gift card. 






My mom and sister got me a beautiful pair of silver , aquamarine and diamond earrings, a pair of awesome black feather and rhinestone earrings, a velvet shirt with lace and a black sweater. 



Don't mind the peek of foot there, lol. 

I will have more to post later in the weekend, but I wanted to share all my awesome birthday swag. 

Thanks again for all the birthday wishes.

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
