Thanks for all your birthday wishes over the weekend! That Amy sure is sneaky. It was a swell birthday and two birthday dinners, two birthday cakes (thanks Katie and Tim!) and a box full of cookies (thanks Amy!) later I’m stuffed and happy. I got some great loot too including these antique mall finds from my in-laws. I picked them out last Fall during their visit and like a good birthday girl, had completely forgotten about them, so I was very happily surprised.
The gal on the left is a napkin holder and the fellow on the right a crayon box.
This weekend I finally found the right fabric to finish up my baby quilt idea and a certain little someone’s preschool starts up again this week so I have high hopes of a finished project soon.
Ahh, happy birthday!
Glad you had a good birthday! Love your loot!
ops, Happy belated birthday, Hillary!
The wooden lady is from Sweden, maybe you already know?

Happy BDay, Hillary! Not sure if this is the most appropriate way – but I’d like to direct you to my blog. I had a bit of crafty craziness this holiday season & made loads of your kitty/bear/bunny goodness.

I LOVE your pattern & have thoroughly enjoyed playing with it and making it my own. More to come…..
The birthday loot ROCKS! So fun getting a year older isn’t it? HA!
You are a shopper after my own heart! I love all the stuff you have blogged about lately!

A crayon box?? How clever!
Best Wishes Birthday Girl!
There’s a crayon/pencil holder similar to your at my parents’ house. I think it might have been my dad’s when he was little. There’s a bunch of cool old toys of his there. I can only imagine that they’re a small portion of what he actually had. Maybe I’ll take some pictures of what’s there when I’m back at their house in a couple of weeks.
