Wow, first time to your site, Happy Birthday!
Haven’t seen a Barbie Dream house in awhile! 🙂 Wish I still had mine (so much easier to keep up with than the house I have now!).
I will be back! You have lots of great information and I look forward to reading it!
Happy Birthday! Clever and inspiring post!
Thanks everyone and welcome Melissa!
Merci Melanie! – yes the White House was very French at the time, Jackie (Bouvier) Kennedy raised eyebrows with the Frenchiness of her style – including, I believe, importing a French chef. Quel horreur!
Happy Birthday to a fellow Leo!!
happy happy happiest of birthdays! what a lovely post you created – so much fabulousness in one year!
your blog is rapidly becoming one of my daily must-reads!
Happy birthday, Linda. What a great post. This proves, as in your case, that good design lives forever!
Happy Belated Birthday, Linda! (And way to go Bob and Dot.)
Hope that your b’day was the perfect beginning of the next year in your life.
Happy Birthday to you and what
a blast from the past. The pictures you show are like being in a time capsule. You have captured the flavor of 1962 perfectly.
