Birthday Shopping

Every year my mom and I spend the day together for my birthday. She takes me out to lunch, gives me birthday money and takes me shopping to spend it. Today was our day to shop and we had so much fun! I got this cute retro metal breadbox. I think the red goes perfectly with the red teakettle and red coffeemaker I already have.




I also got a really cute pair of earrings (maybe I'll get a picture of them later), a Yankee candle that smells SO good and a black dress and leggings similar to the ones in the picture below. My dress is solid black with an empire waist and has a v-neck instead of a scoop neck. I was a little worried that it might look too young for me, but my mom thought it looked cute. Hope Mike likes it. :)

Hey! The handle on the breadbox looks like the handles on my kitchen cabinets! I didn't know it would be *that cute when you told me about it. I'm pouting now. I want one, too! LOL

Happy Birthday! I had to laugh at first because I thought the first picture was of a tool box and I thought, "What a woman!" LOL!!!

Sounds like you had a lovely day! Happy belated birthday!! I'd love to wear an outfit like that, it looks SO comfy, but I have tree-trunks for legs, so not a good look! LOL! Love your red kitchen things!

Love, Tina :)

Terri, now every time I look at my bread box I think about you and call it my "toolbox". :)

Miss Paula, thank you!

Amy, I ordered the teakettle years ago on clearance (of course) from Plow and Hearth. I just love looking at it every day.

Thank you Tina! Your "tree-trunks for legs" comment made me laugh out loud! You are so funny!
