I hatched out!!Yep, Farm Chick Paula is one year older today- it will take a pretty big cake to hold all those candles! (Did someone say...cake?!) *sigh*.... Many more candles than the 2 in this picture...
I've had a terrific birthday.... I even treated myself to a couple of little treasures-My dear friend Debra at Sparrowgrass had this little pinkeep in her ETSY shop and I just couldn't resist it..
The little pinkeep pillow comes off, and inside the coffee can is a little secret compartment for all my little small sewing items!! (*squeal*)
(By the way, Debra- thanks for my birthday post- you are such a sweetheart!)
I also stocked up my sewing box with some beautiful colors of Gütermann thread-
Hubby REALLY surprised me with something I had been wanting for a long time... Corinthian Bell wind chimes!! If you've never heard of these, they sound alot like church bells and they have the most beautiful tone. Click on this to hear them-
But the very best part- Hubby took the day off and we went for a drive to the Smoky mountains... and the leaves are almost in full color!
Thanks for the wonderful road trip, sweetie!!
What a lovely birthday you've had. How sweet that you enjoy all your birthday treasures. The drive through the mountains sounds heavenly! Happy Birthday Paul! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!!! what wonderful treasures you've gotten for your b'day and yes - I'd agree that DH taking a day off and just going for a drive together WOULD be the best present.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!! You're twins with my husband!! (Well, give or take a couple of years.)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've had a wonderful day. I love those windchimes ~ from what I can tell, I've got exactly the same one.
Happy Birthday Paula! You and I are the same age. And I'm squealing right along with you on how adorable that little pinkeep is!
ReplyDeleteHappy happy happy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you the very best.
HAPPY,HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

Happy Birthday! I couldn't think of as better way to spend a birthday than a trip to the Smokies. Glad you had a great day and I love the sound of those chimes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Paula! You and my sister share the same date. You are now marked in my calendar of birthday remembrances.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a lovely birthday!
Your still just a chick, Paula, LOL! I've got 10 years on you! Happy Late Birthday!! Sounds like you had a wonderful, perfect day!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, darlin'! Love those wind chimes...hubby did good! They sound lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Paula! Are you going to be one of those women who remains forever 39? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe bells are awesome. What a wonderful gift! :-)
Just another thing we have in common--wind chimes. I am passionate about them... I love your pin kkep. The nostagic coffee can is a 'keeper'. Where do you get the thread like that and is it cheaper than say---WalMart? Are you going to be sewing alot? I am almost done with this cross-stitched crib quilt. I will be backing, trimming and tying it...Time to get onto Christmas stuff. Do you do red ware or whatever they call it when the whole image is embroidered in red? I never have but I see Lea is making a quilt of red embroidered squares. Just curious....
ReplyDeleteI know you had a wonderful birthday. Hope all your tomorrows are as wonderful! :)
Love you, friend---Linda
Wishing you a very happy birthday, Paula! So glad you hatched. Love your choice of gifts. I would have chosen that for myself too.
ReplyDeleteHope the coming year is filled with joy!
Blessings,
Lea

Hi Paula and Happy Birthday to ya.
ReplyDeleteI have those wind chimes also ,but I never knew the name of them. My cousin brought them to me this summer as they werew her mothers and she had no place to keepo them. I wasn't sure if I woukld liuke them or not because I'm not typicallky a wind chime person. The little clangey rattelt ones make me want to scream they get on my nerves so bad. I took them on a trial basis and oh my godness, the first time we heard them we actually shut the tv down so we could hear them better. It takes a pretty good puff of wind to even get themn to move and describing them as most like church bells is excately right. You can see a picture of mine hanging on the front [porch on my blog header. I love them and I'm so happy you have them too. Yur hubby is a sweetie.
Shanda
happy belated birthday sweetness! i hope all your dreams come true!!
ReplyDeleteOh! Miss Paula!
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy Birthday!
It looks as though you had a wonderful day -- what a sweet husband to take you on a drive (I just love rides in the country!) And those windchimes......
I'm not even going to listen. Church bells are one of the most lovely sounds, ever, and if your chimes sound like them -- then I'm going to want them....
Many Blessings,
Julie
P.S. You were a beautiful baby!
Happy Birthday, Paula! Love the wind chimes! Sure hope you get to feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteMarie
Happy Birthday a little late and sloww here!! I love your post on this day!! You don't have near enough candles...you have so many more to add!! A drive through the country is the best gift!!
ReplyDeleteDo keep celebrating for a couple of weeks..at least! :))
Oooh so sorry I missed this post :0( Happy Belated Birthday Paula, What a sweet picture of you when you were a little girl. Hope you had a wonderful day! I've got one coming so another year older for me soon...lol
