My "Birthday" Outing with Sharon March 2011

My sweet, crazy friend Sharon decided since she always forgets my birthday that she would get an early start this year and celebrate in March! She "kidnapped" me for the day and we went to Birmingham, shopped in Homewood, ate at a yummy cafe, toured the Botanical Gardens and had dinner at Whole Foods. :) Perfect day.

Found the funnest store in Homewood. We stayed for about 2 hours looking, dreaming, buying a little and laughing for about 20 min. at a rack of cards so that the tears were coming.

For Poppy. :)

Loved these. Went back and bought them later for our new computer desk. I'm sitting on one right now.

Loved these. Didn't buy them.

Loved these. Didn't buy them either.

Found this at an Antique mall. Didn't get it then but I went back with my (real) birthday money and got it.

Loved this.

This inspired me to decorate my mantle with churches for Easter.

The Botanical Gardens were gorgeous.

Cute little mini-garden-house in the gift shop.

What a sweet day! Thank you, thank you, dear friend Sharon!
