A Quiet Birthday

 

Happy Friday All!

It has been a fantastic weather week here in Indy. It has been in the low 60’s and ’70s. Dream weather indeed. My birthday was Monday and I just wanted to share some small details from it. I got some flowers even though I get them every week. I just love them. They make me happy! 

My birthday was rather quiet this year. I wanted to go to the Cake Bake Shop but my husband has been soooo busy!! I didn’t know when he would be free because you must have a reservation to get in there. You will wait for about 2 hours if you don’t! So we went to the Cheesecake Factory instead! I love their food as well. 


















I did go and get a manicure and pedicure. I was there for about 2 hours getting those done. It was nice. I have not been to the nail salon since February. It was a treat! 

Most of you have probably already seen these gorgeous earrings on my Instagram account. 



 

These are the Vera clip-on earrings from Loren Hope. I have been “stalking” these earrings for almost a year! I was so happy and surprised when my husband gave them to me!



I have been wearing them all week. The last item that I received was this beautiful “Chanel” inspired brooch that I ordered from a boutique on Instagram!

It was only $27 after shipping! I am considering ordering a second one. I don’t really have much planned for the weekend. I do want to visit a boutique and look at a few things but then again I don’t really need to shop. I need to finish up my Christmas list. I started shopping for Christmas gifts in September. I have been buying my ingredients and baking supplies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have a feeling that items are going to be slim pickings this year. 

I have also been taking Jennifer L. Scott’s Chic Financial Principles for Debt -Free Living course. She has some great ideas and she shares some personal stories about herself and her husband. I have enjoyed it very much. 

I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the weather wherever you are!

    Dear Mrs. Shockley,
    Happy Birthday to you! What a lovely way to spend your birthday, getting a M&P. Your french manicure looks lovely. Those earrings are beautiful, Mr.Shockley was listening! I am starting to stock up on Thanksgiving non-perishables, too. I feel like a hoarder, but you have to buy things when you see them (and sometimes two). Take care of yourself.
    Warmly, Kathleen

      Hello Kathleen!
      Thank you for the birthday wishes! He was listening and I am so glad I do love them. Oh I am glad to hear that I am not the only one buying items now. I just know that if I wait to long I will not be able to get what I need. Thank you for stopping by! You take care as well!
