Happy Birthday, CeeKay!!

Today is CeeKay's birthday! Most of you already know and love C, but if you haven't been to visit her blog, Thinkin' of Home, you simply must! It's filled with decorating ideas, antiques, collectibles, and beautifully imaginative tablescapes. In fact, I'd say my friend is the Queen of Tablescapes! CeeKay and I have been friends for almost 30 years. We've been through both sad and wonderful together - the glue that makes friendship last a lifetime.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY FRIEND!

May this year be filled with adventure, love, and laughter.

You've received your real birthday gift in the mail by now, but here's another little gift - Mimi's Friendship Award and a happy birthday graphic to wear on your sidebar!

Vintage Jewelry For Show & Tell

I thought I would show you some of my vintage jewelry collection today for Show & Tell. Some of it was my mothers, some of it was my mother-in-law's, and some I collected over the years from antique shops and flea markets. I have quite a bit more that I'll get out and show over the coming months.

To find links to more Show & Tell posts visit Kelly, There Is No Place Like Home.

Charlotte, Robins Nest, has honored my blog with the Proximadade Award, which translated from Portuguese means:

"This blog contributes to and supports or believes in close friendships.

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

I simply can't choose between the many wonderful women I have developed friendship with through blogging. If you are a visitor and/or follower of Mimi's Garden I hope you will allow me to pass this award along to you. Please accept it with my gratitude for your friendship.
