Happy Birthday Lynn!

Someone oh so special out there in blogland is celebrating her birthday today. Hmmmm...could it be LYNN???!!! Yep. Definitely is! Do stop by her blog, give her a big e-hug, and wish her a happy, happy birthday. Lynn is such a sweetheart. She's kind and caring, shares her family with us all - and what an amazing and handsome group of young men she's a mom to..., she's always encouraging, she's a fun and gentle soul, and her smile lights the world, doesn't it just??!! I'm very blessed to call her friend. It seemed right to celebrate and since it wouldn't be a birthday without a party let's get to it!

A little wine to start off...

No ice bucket? No problem.

Some pretty and casually elegant party decorations

Gorgeous wedding lights for a rustic reception vibe

A few flowers

She sure does light up a room and I am blessed to have her as my dear cousin and I know for sure she would wear that bracelet, adore the perfume bottle however those shoes.....I forgive her for wanting them, she knows we are all about heels!!!

Bev, had to come by and tell Sandie not to worry as shoe shopping is on the docket with my mum today. I had to also tell you that I have a perfume bottle collection and have been a long time collector of heart charms, etc. so you really did out due yourself. xoxo
