Today is my birthday–I turned 23. It seems hard to believe I’m not firming a “twenty-something”; and just a wee bit frightening. lol. Yesterday we celebrated when Mom took my sister and I to our favorite tea room for a full afternoon tea. I had loads of fun, yummy things to eat, and pleasant conversation!
I also finally hemmed this dress I posted a snippet of a couple months ago! I love how bright and feminine it is… Just the late 1930’s silhouette I adore! I feel like Anne Shirley: a dress with puffed sleeves! *swoon* I’ve worn it two days in a row… hehe. (I think that must mean I’m quite smitten!)
I hope you all are having a glorious Sunday–I have some lovely things to share with you tomorrow!
