It’s that time again….time for another birthday. They sure roll around fast these days. Today is MY big day and I’m planning to go on a little Christmas tour of homes with a couple of friends, so that will be just the most perfect way to spend my birthday that I can think of. And my hubby has some sort of surprise for me tonight. I think he’s taking me somewhere. I’ll let you know when I find out what it is! In the meantime….he sent me these beautiful roses….two dozen. 
And this…let’s just get this little bit out of the way in case anyone missed the news. My Auburn readers, you’ll just have to indulge me, after all it’s been 6 long years since we could claim this one. Look out Florida Gators, we’re coming for you today! ROLL TIDE!
*******************************
Now for the topic of the day. Pottery Barn, $329 
Restoration Hardware, $670 (of course this one is big).
My $5 version from the Lovelady Thriftstore. I love the thing!
Who knows how old this thing is, but I love the lines of it. Everything old is new again. It’s got a tarnished brass patina, but I’ll bronze it up really nice (I love the color of those pointy things) and hang it in the beachy guestroom. Let’s hope it really works.
Another project for after the Holidays. Of course, you’ll be the first to see it. Speaking of the beachy guestroom, my contact friend at the Birmingham News emailed me about featuring my beachy guestroom in the Spaces section, so of course I said YES! They came out last Thursday to take pics and do the story and hopefully it will make the paper in the next couple of weeks. I’ll let you Birmingham girls know when I find out for sure.
Great post girl…You did real well on the chandy…Happy Birthday to you..Hope you have a wonderful one..beautiful rose..hugs and smiles Gloria

Hope your birthday is very, very special, but I also hope the Gators swim right on top of the Tide! LOL! Have to pull for my nemesis on this one since the Tigers were mauled. 😉

ps I so agree with you… Birthdays come too quickly, you just get used to one number and then wham another !
Happy Birthday!!! Roll Tide Roll! Looks like I will get to watch the game. I had 2 parades to shoot and a family. But I am home with strep instead… DH is shooting the parades for me. I should have given him my MP3 player so he could listen to the game, but… he might not be able to work and listen to the game like I can. LOL!
Have fun touring homes. Sounds like fun. As I feel like it, I am going to clean and lysol, clean and lysol and do a little decorating and lysol, and hopfully get my family (to shoot) rescheduled for tomorrow. I am sure they do not want there 4 kids exposed to strep. LOL!
Thanks for the HD info, I have registered, commented and blogged.
Happy birthday, Rhoda –
I hope you have a great day today and a wonderful year ahead. Can’t wait to hear what your hubby has planned for you.

Let’s plan a christmas lunch soon with the Birmingham Bloggers. I’ll send an email.
Happy, happy birthday girlfriend! Love the chandy, of course!! Ohhh, I wish I was there for the tour of homes with ya’ll, but I’m still rockin’ this cold. Thanks to a z-pack and other Rx, I’m feeling much better and hopefully will get more done with the Christmas decorating while we watch Fla/Ala game today.
I want/need to get to B’ham soon to see son and family and YOU!
