B-day Celebration...

Well, as a lot of my Twitter pals already know, there was no skating to be had for my friends and myself this evening.  When I found out at lunch that every single roller rink in Springfield would be closed (on the same day, mind you), I just wanted to cry.  Buuuut... I have amazing friends, and I had an amazing day despite my intended rigidity toward the plans I'd previously made.

Elsie met me for thrifting with her posse (Jeremy, Emma, and Caleb).  It was great to meet her sweet sister Emma and to just get to hang out for a while.


Pluuuuus... Hope found old roller derby skates that I let her try on (and absolutely couldn't say no to after they hit her feet).  :)

All taken by pretty Elsie.  :)

Then, we met up with a couple more sweetie friends (Rebecca, Rethaniel, and Soren!) for coffee and yummy muffins.  I wish I had taken pictures while we were with them, but you know, I got distracted by thoughtful gifts and hugs. :)

Then, we headed over to see Erin and Will... who really just topped it all off.  They had made dinner and baked me Birthday brownies.  It's so special to have such amazing friends.  Really.  After dinner Erin and I did a shortish product shoot for her Etsy update tomorrow.


It was silly!!!  I will have more photos of birthday shenanigans hopefully tomorrow.  Thank you EVERYONE for the birthday wishes.  You helped make today magical!

I'm off to enjoy the new Black Crowes dvd.  If you like this band at all, you should see this!  Their new album is all live and this is a "making of" that album.  They are SO impressive.  Good night.  xo Katie

  13. What fun! I'm glad you're enjoying your day even though you couldn't go skating. If you came up to North Dakota you could go ice skating. If you dress in 5 layers. You have a wonderful blog here and I can't wait to see what you post next.

  15. Sorry I'm so late--we're justing getting going over here on this side of the world. Happy Birthday TO YOU! Happy Birthday TO YOU! Happy Birthday etc. I miss you so much and am sorry all the rinks were closed. silly. Remember my skating birthday? I suppose that rink is long gone.

    It looks like you still had a beautiful day and that you can make anything look fantastic. I've always been in awe of your beauty--outward and creativitivly (like that word? I made it up for you). Love, AMY
