September is Birthday Season!

Hello + Hello!

Here it is...

SEPTEMBER!

Did you know that September is always Birthday Month to me?

I have two sisters...yep...two, and only two.

The three of us have always giggled at the fact that we are all born in

September!

(We are thinking that mom and dad REALLY  liked New Year's Eve!)

Anyway...

because we all have our birthdays in the month of September,

I always seem to reckon this month to a

Birthday Month.

In honor of this, I've created some new

Birthday Cards with photos I've taken in the past.

I just wanted to share one of my favorites with you today:

"Doily Delish"

makes me happy for all sorts of reasons.

I collect colorful doilies when I'm out thrifting.

The work that has gone into them is incredibly amazing don't you think?

( I collect white/cream ones too...but they just don't have the

"colorful" personality that colored ones do.)

I also love this print because my doily cake was a totally original idea.

Yep,

my hairbrained mind came up with the thought of doilies being stacked on top of one another

as layers of cake frosting... all by it's lovely self!

(Sometimes I worry about my brain...all that fluffy stuff in there can't be good for me!)

Also loveable in the photo,

are the dishes.

I collect them as my mother grew up with them.

Apparently, my grandmother had them.

They came in boxes of detergent at the grocery store!

 I've gone about my way collecting them as I find them in thrifty places.

So,

you see...

...I truly love this print.

I figured it would be perfectly lovely as a birthday card too!

 

And THAT'S why

 I've spent the last few days printing off and making cards for my shop

Grandiflora

Each card is hand glittered and placed in a cellophane bag for safe keeping

I hope that someone will see the

wit and humor in my

"Doily Delish"

cards.

apple sauces & desserts.
