  1. I seriously love those little purse placecard holders! My daughters would adore them. Love those dishes too. I have some similar that I picked up at an antique store. I need to check and see if it’s the same pattern. LOVE the basket weave.

    And most of all… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 29???

  2. Happy Birthday to YOU!

    Happy Birthday to YOU!

    Happy Birthday, DEAR LINDA,

    Happy Birthda to YOU!

    I hope that you are having a wonderful birthday, and I just love your table! It’s so cute. I have Nantucket Basket, too, and I never, ever tire of it. Loved your pretty table, those cute little place card holders… DARLING… and the pretty flowers and the packages all make it so festive. Love your flatware, too.

    I celebrated my MIL’s birthday on my post today. I posted her party from a year ago, but I am actually late posting for her birthday since Mr. Magpie was sick and recuperating.

    Happy Tablescape Thursday Birthday, Linda!

    XO,

  3. Ooh, this is just lovely. Thank you for the invitation. I gladly accept. Have a very happy birthday tomorrow. Í’ll be celebrating along with you because tomorrow is our son’s 21st. It’s actually his golden birthday (21 on the 21st). ๐Ÿ˜‰ Last week was mine and I wished all October babies a happy one too. Enjoy.

    PS I absolutely love those adorable purses. Much love!

  4. Happy Happy Birthday!!!! Your table is charming and I LOVE the little purse place card holders!

    Enjoy your birthday…EAT CAKE!!

  5. Oh Happy Birthday, my friend!!!!!! And many many more. May God bless you richly this year!
    I honestly felt like you set that table for me and you! It seemed so personal… just waiting for me! I was so drawn in.
    Your Beautiful dishes (oh, I love them…. lust really) are made the center of attention by those great bright blue place mats. Perfect pairing!
    I love the flowers!!!!!!! They will soon be all gone, so it is so nice to see how beautiful yours still look.
    And your gift for me… how kind!
    Ok, wouldn’t it be fun to go shopping together? However, I don’t think those purses could carry enough money! I might want to do some serious fiscal dammage!
    Happy Birthday, Linda!

  6. Happy Birthday, Linda! You have such a wonderful flair–just the right touch! I feel like I’m really celebrating with you! Thank you for sharing, and, by the way, love those adorable purses!

  7. What a lovely birthday table you have set. You are just like the Hobbits who give out gifts on their birthdays. After reading those books we always talk about that and how wonderful it would be to give gifts rather than receive and you certaily did today. I adore the little purses, let’s go shopping. I do think bloggers shopping together would be seriously dangerous, but tons of fun! Have a wonderful birthday tomorrow and celebrate each and every one. I try to just be glad I am here another year and count each birthday a blessing!

I invite you for my pumkin party, will you come?
