May 1st was my birthday which was no secret to anyone familiar with the Prettie Girls - thanks for all the love girlies!! This is a long one but since its my birthday I figured - meh, its my blog right?
A while ago I was out shopping with a friend of mine and ran across an item that was most unusual. I looked at it and the girly girl in me immediately jumped up and down screaming "I have to have it, I have to have it". Of course, the more conservative mother and wife, common sence Christie circumvented the yearnings of that little girly girl and explained very logically that, "while the item was very unusual and very pretty, it was VERY impractical - just think - where would you put such a thing?" So, I walked away not buying it thinking that it was probably wise to listen to my more mature self.
After I left the store, I considered the item again, and tried to answer all of those logical questions like WHERE would I put it - certainly not in my bedroom and since I have all boys, their rooms were definitely out of the question. I wasn't appropriate for a more "public" part of the house but then it dawned on me - I have ordered some vinyl lettering for my new stamp room (should that day ever come - hmph) that reads "She left a little bit of beauty every where she went". Suddenly there where sparkling lights and fireworks as I justified to myself that the beautiful item could go in my new stamp room.
SO, back to the store I went but alas, they were sold out. My friend, (the one I mentioned above) is from another large city near by and offered to check the store there to see if they might have one. I eagerly accepted her offer, but again - no luck - until TODAY!
At about 10am on my birthday (that is when I am writing this) the door bell rang. I opened the door to see my sweet friend standing there with THIS:
Okay, now do you see why that girly girl wanted that "item" so badly? This is this amazing bust of a pink velvet dress with white maribou accents. Tied to the one strap is a bouquet of pink and white balloons. I promise I'll take a pic with the wrapping off of it but I didn't want to unwrap it to be touched by little dirty fingers until it is in my new stamping room.
That stinker found the dress at the store but told me she hadn't. What a great birthday treat! Thanks so much Melissa for making my day!
