Birthdaypalooza
It's my birthday today. I still feel like I'm 25, except I'm quite sure that I'm most definitely not 25.
Here's an old photo I found from my 5th Birthday.... (I know that because I counted the candles)
.... and here's the exact same tablecloth on my dining table 33 years later (I'm sure you can do the math)!
It has quite a few holes (hence the strategically placed centrepiece).
I can't believe my mum held onto it for so long. She gave it to me as it was holey and she thought I might like to cut it up for crafting. But I think I might just keep it for birthdays instead.
So far, birthdaypalooza has consisted of clothes shopping, op shopping, coffee drinking and lots and lots of talking and eating.
I'm only half way through my plans.... still lots more fun to go!

Well happy, happy birthday Missus Pops!
Have a happy birthday - hope you end up dancing on top of the tablecloth :)
Happy Birthday Cam!
I like that you are using that table cloth for birthday specials.
Since birthdays come around once a year and the actual day passes by far too quickly, I am a believer in week long birthday celebrations.
By the way, that chocolate explosion cake looks awesome.
Happy Birthday Curlypops! Look at the gorgeous 5 year old you looking so proud! I love that you still have the tablecloth!!! Have an awesome day xx
Look at that cheeky grin!

Happy birthday Cam! Sounds like you've been having a good time indeed. I hope there is cake too!
My Mum hung on to a lot of her favourite things like this too and I am sure I will be just the same. I always loved poking around in her linen closet and seeing what treasure was folded up in there. :)
Happy birthday Cam - I love the idea of a long birthdaypalooza! Have a lovely time, and it's great to see that tablecloth being used again.
Happy Birthday. I love the tablecloth!!!! Something special about them... the ones that the family used.
