May 25th ~ Let's Celebrate!

Today is my Birthday! 

Yippee, Hooray, May 25th, my most favorite time of the year besides my families birthday's of course.

As I get older (hopefully wiser in some aspects of my life),
 I am grateful to celebrate this day!
So, I was thinking, what can I do for you,
how can I in a small way say thanks
for the sweet words you leave me so often,
 for the kind emails you send me that seems to always lift my spirits and make my day
 and while you may never leave me a comment, you let me know you are reading what I am passionate about. 

So, today I wake up a year older
 (it's just a number, right, and you are only as old as you feel),
a glorious day for sure!

  I want to give you a gift to say thanks for making my life richer, fuller, and just because....it's my birthday and I want to do this!

So, you tell me. What would you like? 
A year subscription to a favorite magazine, there are still some great ones out there, or
Every month would you like to enjoy your favorite coffee at your favorite coffee house and just enjoy it all to yourself, or
would you like a spa day, a day just to relax and enjoy yourself, or
Would you like a gift certificate and you can shop for yourself?

Here's what you need to do:
Tell me what you would like (yes, you have to leave me a comment)
Or, if you don't have a blog, send me an email and I'll post it here, my email is garden_antqs@yahoo.com
That's it!

I'll select one person on June 1st (another great Birthday celebration will be done on this day)!
This is one of my favorite cakes, for the recipe click here.

  3. Just want to wish you a Happy Birthday, sweet friend.

    I don't need one thing. I'm truly blessed to have more than I need and my wants are small, truly. Just want you to have a delicious day with that handsome hubby of yours and the boys. I'm sure they'll treat you as the royal queen that you are! Happy birthday!!!!!

    xoxo,
    Connie

  5. I'm one of those that rarely leaves a comment but reads your blog faithfully! You know what I would really like? To go junking with you! But since that isn't possible, I'd like to have something that you love, something that would remind me of you! Or a mag subscription - I'm down to just Country Living and I need a magazine fix!

    Happy birthday, my dear, happy birthday to you!

  6. I just stopped by to wish you a glorious birthday...and here you are offering your gift to another...how gracious is that? That gesture speaks volumes about your character. I do pray that your day is wonderful and filled to the brim with all that brings you joy....as for what I would like...if you insist(smile) a magazine subscription would be wonderful....I do find it very hard being on the receiving end though but,if you insist and that is your wish.
    Blessings to you again and a wonderful,wonderful B-D......

  7. Happy Birthday! The mile high coconut cake is one of my all time favorites. There was a restaurant in NYC that used to serve this in a lemon version. Perfection!
    Sweet idea to gift someone else on YOUR day. A cup of Starbucks is always a favorite here! :-)

  11. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! You are choosing the winner on my Birthday! June 1. You & I are indeed getting not older but, better. I would only go back to being young IF I could take the knowledge with me. How about you? What would I like????? A years subscription to one of the Somerset Magazines. In fact... I intend to treat myself to at least 2 this year on my BDay. After all who buys better presents for us than us? HAVE A GREAT Birthday & CELEBRATE ALL WEEK! Hugs! Charlene

  16. See this is exactly what I mean... just read all these sweet comments and you make my heart full! My hubby's birthday is on June 1st and when he asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I looked at him and said so what do you want for your birthday. He said the same thing as you, to go shopping in Canton. So, that will be our gifts to each other! Can't wait for next week to hit the junkin road. Thanks to all of you for such wonderful Birthday wishes!

  22. I don't need one single thing, except I want YOU to enjoy YOUR day! When you really think about what we "need" in life, it isn't about things at all. But the people we know and love is all need to get by in this life. Have a wonderful birthday my friend.

    Take care, Sue

  26. Happy Birthday, my sweet, wonderful, beautiful, talented friend!

    And since you DID ask, if I could have anything, it would be the chance to learn the art of display from YOU! Your vignettes are the best and most creative out there! I've studied your photos until I'm cross-eyed. :-)

    Have a wonderful day!
    Love ya!

  31. Happy Birthday!! You are such a giving person all year long...it figures that you would want to give a gift on your B-day. I'd like to meet you the next time you're up in Quinlan or somewhere around here.
    Since you and your husband's birthdays are only a few days apart, you should just celebrate all week!!

  41. Happy birthday! Are you making the pictured cake for your birthday?

    I was thinking, out of all the choices, that I would rather have the recipe for the cake in the pictures and ... there it was!

    I love magazines and books! I used to bypass the coffee shop until I tried an iced, flavored coffee and now I'm hooked. But boy, those things cost as much as a magazine and I'd like to have one more than once a month.

    Spas are nice--but I think I'm turning into my mom. I can't imagine spending that much time, at one place, doing nothing!

    So I'm happy with the recipe! Thanks for the link!

  42. All I can say is Wow, that is some cake. It's beautiful. I hope you're enjoying your special day. I'm sure your family is pampering you and showing you some love, since that's what you do for us bloggers everyday. As for a special something, a gift certificate to spend in with those fabulous Zapp Ladies would be great.

    Smiles,

  46. It's a great day for a birthday!!! Happy, happy birthday Theresa!! You were so kind, commenting on my blog a few times when I needed some Texas insight. I greatly appreciate it and have visited you often. The happiest of birthdays to you (and ohhh, that cake! I'm coming over and bringing my fork!!!).

    I think it would be such fun to junk with you. But if I can't do that, any fun find that you come upon would be such a sweet treat! My bday is in June~ and let me tell ya~ I celebrate ALL month (my husband says it's my own version of black history month). Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!

  56. Ever since I discovered your wonderful blog I've meant to make a comment, so now is the perfect time! I don't have a blog of my own, but I'm a dealer at Antiques in Old Town-Lilburn, Ga. and our owner, Rowann, has one. I visit your blog 3 or 4 times a week, and feel I know you! By everyone's comments you sound like a very unselfish, sweet person.

    Two things we have in common--I love the white and creme palatte you use and have similar all over my shop and home and my birthday is in May (21st)!

    Thanks again for creating such a wonderful blog-you inspire me. As for the giveaway-I don't get to shop as much as I use to, so shopping would be fun.....

  57. Happy Happy Birthday Theresa! The trip shopping with your hubby sounds like the best present ever! Mine really does not like antiquing or junk shopping at all, actually goes out of his way to avoid a garage sale. :( Oh well, I don't hunt or fish so I guess were even! I hope your day was wonderful, I always look forward to your visits and love stopping in here to see your amazing posts and talent in action. Theresa
