what i got that i love

the Frames are on a strict save-only budget.

there hasn't been much room for new, but of course birthdays are the exception.

my family and friends, on top of very thoughtful lovely gifts,

have all made special time for me for lunches, dinners, game nights and sweet treats.

it may appear that i am trying to drag this out until doomsday, but i swear there's only one more post!

here's a peek at what i got that i love:

1>> a new address stamp! i first got ours in 2008 and used it for everything. before i even had a moment to think about getting one made for our new home, Rashelle (the most thoughtful gift giver) already did!
2>> a pleated maxi from my brother
3>> an Ina cookbook is always thoughtful around here. love her!
4>> a Lark Press birthday calendar so i can be a more thoughtful gift giver.
5>> "Mink Muffs" by Essie, the perfect feminine brown! Silvia never forgets my birthday, anniversary, my boys' birthdays and big life moments. she's the best.
6>> Head and the Heart tee & vinyl set.
7>> Joe's Jeans "The Skinny" to celebrate a post-baby bod that i've been working hard on. if you thought that Rosie was me bless your sweet, sweet heart.
8>> Voluspa's Sake Lemon Flower candle. delicious.
