A Message to a Birthday Man

'

Happy birthday dear darling Alexander.  You are the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas,  the sundae's sprinkles, the hammer's nail... you get it, you're the best (and not just because it's your Birthday, but because you're the best.).  Here you are above in a suit (not to be confused with a birthday suit, but a birthday suit because of the day it falls on) looking as dashing as ever (more dashing than the spice from the 1990's...Mrs. Dash).  I thought the song above by Ike and Tina Turner and the Kings of Rhythm would be a nice way to ring in the commencing of age (you'll hear the Birthday song more then once today, and I figured why not switch it up ya know?). Since Francis doesn't blog (yet), the message above was all his paws could type. I love you to the Birthday Moon...and back. 

St Patrick's Day the Doily Way

See us above in our green clothes today. See  (your future) Delicate Doilies green and gold clothes from the shop below.

 In honor of St. Patrick's Day we have written a Delicate Doilies Patty themed limerick. Ahem...

There once was a vintage shop

with oodles of goodies over the top.

'Twas on st Patrick's day many dollars came the doily way,

 and the good people shopped till they dropped! 

Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters...For your Listening Pleasure

This never gets old...ever! This certainly makes me want to get a ukelele (not to mention a sailor hat). 

Spring Fever

Bada bing bada boom bada bang, it's March yet again (and yet again I find myself saying "where has all the time gone?"). Say it with me know "where has all the time gone?" March (already) is booked to the  brim with work, and some rather exciting things... including but not limited to: Alex's upcoming birthday (I'm a sucker for celebrating birthdays), and my brother and co are moving to Oregon from Alaska ("and co" represents his lovely wife and darling daughter...see adorable child above). In other news, I just got back from a quick jaunt to Seattle, train in, training, train out shazam (yeah "shazam," like something Shaq would say right before he popped out of a jeanie bottle in a bad straight to video... video). See above for other March things (Cat Paint,  sleeping cat drawings, sleeping darlings, new house plants, new bright shoes,  rooms with views, Portland Timbers, and our backyard bench... which I can't wait to read on when it gets warmer). What's new with you?
