Old School Giveaway

So my 31st birthday is next weekend. I am just a tad freaked out. I really never thought that I would be one who was squeamish about my age. I loved turning 30. That is a big birthday and everyone made sure it was a huge affair. I even posted it as my best day of 2007.

But 31 is.....30 something. Like that crappy TV show from the 80's that only old people watched. It is totally boring. Now that I am a mom, do I just take the backseat on this day just for me?

"No way!" says I. I am a supporter of full fledged birthday celebrations at EVERY birthday. Cake, gifts and none of this "oh, I am too old to do the birthday thing". NO. Not me. I work too freaking hard to not have a day when I get to be the center. One day a year. I'm not giving it up.

In honor of my creed, this week's giveaway is an "Old School Giveaway". All fantastic vintage treasures to remind us that just because it is a little old doesn't mean that it isn't awesome. So without further adieu...

************************************************************

I am giving away this sweet "Grandma chic" vintage purse along with some of my Paisley Lane lovelies. I have made the hair clip from a vintage brooch and the vintage earrings were originally clip (as they always are), but I have changed them to pierced. They will come wrapped in the vintage linen that they are laying on in the photo.


And as an added bonus - check out these recipe cards! When I found these (unopened) at an antique show I actually squealed like a little girl. I mean come on, how retro cool? I also will send a pack of vintage plastic recipe savers (the plastic sleeves that protect the cards).
