Birthday Memories

July 22, 2021 by Kimberly Snyder 18 Comments

Do you ever find an old picture from one of your childhood birthday parties ? I found one from my 6th birthday party!

I wonder what I wished for that year?

The picture was taken at my 6th birthday party!  My Mom is watching to make sure I don’t fall face first into the cake, I think!  She was always a bit over-protective!

The party was held at my grandparents’ restaurant where my Mom worked.  Later in my life, she forbade me to ever open a restaurant…. she said it was the hardest work.  If you read this blog post, Sprout/ Grow/ Bloom ; My Entrepreneurial Journey you can read my response to her!

I still have the little ballerina figurine that decorated the top of the cake!  If you have been following me for long, I know you aren’t surprised to read that!

I celebrated my birthday earlier this week.  I didn’t have cake but I did get the little ballerina out and take some pictures!

A little Shabby Chic nostalgia before I head back A little Shabby Chic nostalgia before I head back to Round Top today.
This fabric sample is from the mid‑2000s — rescued from a tiny shop in Monticello, IL that carried Rachel’s line. The owner was closing, and I scooped up every sample she had. I’ve kept them all these years… soft florals, gentle colors, and that sweet Shabby Chic soul.

Carrying that same spirit with me today: Peace. Love. Joy. Hopefully there will be a few brocante treasures waiting out there with the same kind of history.
