Today, I am old. I am as old as mom. Well, not how old my mom is today, but how old my mom was when I thought she was an old lady. She wasn’t an old lady though, but just a young mother, and I am not old, but I used to think that the age I am today was so ancient and so far away that I would never be that old. Well, I was wrong…today is my birthday and I am that old.
I’m not going to say that ‘O’ word anymore, but instead I’m just going to share a bit of wisdom I’ve learned over the years….which is that time flies whether you are having fun or not. You better make the most of things and have some fun goddammit, so you don’t wake up one day, when you are actually old (like 84), and wonder what the hell happened. That’s enough preaching for today, on to funner things.
In Indie Fixx tradition, it may be my birthday, but today I am giving away the presents! I have TEN PRIZES to give away to TEN WINNERS! You can see the prizes below as well as visit the shops who donated them.
How to win?
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post wishing me some birthday cheer! Also, make sure to share your top 3 shops from all the prize choices below and tell me what you would put your gift certificate (or winner’s choice) towards for each of your top three shops.
I will choose 10 random commenters to win and hopefully it will work out that each winner will be able to win one of their top three prize choices.
This giveaway will end Monday, June 22nd at 11:59 am EST. Good luck to all of you and Happy Birthday to me! I hope I get some birthday loot that’s as wonderful as all these prizes!
- Win a $25 gift certificate from Hilary Caroline Jewelry. I would put it towards this necklace, but you can choose whatever you like!
- Win a $25 gift certificate from Able Mabel. I think this Stash N Go Pouch is quite nice, don’t you?
- Win a winner’s choice pair of stud earrings from Penelope Rakov (spoton). I just lurve all of her work!
- Win a $25 gift certificate from lillyella. That’s just enough to get this necklace.
- Win a $30 gift certificate from maizie. I would get the Solstice necklace!
- Win a winner’s choice (8×10 or smaller) photo from Hilary Hitchcock. You are gonna have trouble choosing just one…
- Win a $25 gift certificate from Berd & Bee. I fell in love with their candles, but these embroidery mugs are pretty freakin’ cool too.
- Win a $30 gift certificate from Panopoly. Wee ceramic wonder indeed!
- Win a $25 gift certificate from Brooklyn Soul. Earrings or a necklace…I’d go with some earrings!
- Win a $25 gift certificate from Up Up Creative. Hmm, paper. It does a person good. I like this ‘I’m sorry your _______ sucks so much’ card!

Happy Happy not-old Birthday to you! I just had one of those this year, too! (The not-old kind. Obviously I had a birthday…everyone does. Anyway…moving on….)
I am in love with AbleMable and would have to get the adorable blue half apron from that shop! I also really like Maizie’s shop and I think I would get the frolic necklace! For the third shop I would choose Berd and Bee for the fabulous typewriter mug! I love the tree plate, too!
Happy birthday!!!! Have some cake for me too:-) It’s only a number and I forget my number all the time. Still get carded even though I’m 13 past age. Here’s to living every day like you’re undestructable!
I love all the above shops but would love the BERD & BEE tree print serving plate, ABLE MABLE’s Cow Chips and Hot Days or the solstice necklace from MAIZIE. Too many choices, so many great items oh my!

A room full of friends, a mouth full of cake,
Every present is for you, and it feels pretty great”
My delightful choices:
1. Lilyella Starling Plume bracelet
2. Berd and Bee typewriter monogram mug
3. Brooklyn Soul leaflets earrings
Happy Birthday!!! Just remember, you are only as old as you feel you are! (Some days that makes me reallllllly old- ha ha!)
Happy happy birthday! What a great way to celebrate your day. I too am at the age where I’m as old as my mom was when I thought she was OLD.
If I were to win, I’d pick one of the following, but it was very hard to choose! Everything is so lovely!

Happy Birthday! I recently turned “that old” too. Major milestone birthdays never seem to bother me, but then I set up random milestone years that tear me up! But, here I am on the other side of the big number and you know what? The view is pretty much the same as it was on the other side!
O.k., lessee…
I loved:
1. Able Mabel — the light switch covers. I especially loved the Little Red Hen. It was my favorite story as a kid.
2. Brooklyn Soul — Beautiful Oak Leaf Bangle!
3. Up Up Creative — it was all so wonderful it was hard to choose! But I liked the personalized stationary and the Crazy Love Card III.
Again, have a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday Jen! I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Happy, Happy Birthday! As you are being so kind hearted and generous, my gift to you is a wish of good karma for the rest of the year and life! I hear you about wondering where the years have gone to. I looked in the mirror to comb my hair this morning and wondered how in the world my mother got into my mirror! But then I figured that as long as I have good eyesight to be able to see, then maybe there’s still a lot of life to go! Happy Birthday!!!
Hilary Caroline Shop-Sweet Mums Bobby Pin-Reminds me of the age of Flowers in your hair
Maizie Designs-I love the twinkle necklace!
Berd and Bee- I love those candles! I would choose the Pinecone candle as I love pinecones and here in the South the only ones we have are the frosted ones at Christmas in stores.
Happy Birthday again and enjoy the day by celebrating the fact that you share it with the Beatle who I have had a crush on for about 100 years!
These are such great shops! How exciting!
I have a dress that would be perfect with this necklace from Hilary Caroline:

I hope you had a great birthday! I didn’t feel old until I found my first gray hair last week. Is it normal to start getting gray hairs at 34? Maybe it is. Maybe it isn’t. Pretty soon my grandmother and I are going to look like twinsies. Happy Birthday!!

Hi and happy birthday! My favourite ones (although I like all of them) are:
.
-Panopoly: as a knitter myself, I always love beautifull buttons for my handknits. And Panopoly has lots and lots of them!!
-Berd&bee: I like all their mugs… but what really catches me is the vintage metal pear.
-Able Mabel: their stash-n-go purse or any of their minky blankets… and yes, I have a little girl who’s willing to use them
Happy Birthday Jen! I think old ladies are cool, but old to me is like 70. I’m actually in a couples group and we call ourselves the “Pre-Old Couples!”
I love this stash pouch from Able Mabel:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24131639
Berd & Bee’s handpainted monogram mug is a great item:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18093687

I love that solstice necklace so even though everything is beautiful, I’d go with that. Oh my, she’s got some pretty earrings, too. The frozen lemonade ones are fantastic.
Second? How can anything so beautiful be second? So second first: lillyella’s garden branch bracelets and Secret Life of Bees earrings.
Third first: abelmabel’s Sparrow collage. Sweet but more than sweet; simple but complicated. Wonderful.
Why oh why haven’t I been doing more shopping on etsy? Thank you for bringing these artists to my attention — I just needed a little push!
Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Jeeeeennnnn, happy birthday to you!
my choices
1. maiziedesigns, solstice necklace
2. panapoly, a pendant and a wee bowl
3. Berd and Bee, the tree coffee mug and serving plate.
such a hard choice to make!
Happy happy bday-you are still a youngun’! Try being my age {almost 44 shhh}-Celebrate all weekend!
Fav shops & what goodies caught my eyes:
Brooklyn Soul-those romantic Nouveou2 romantic earrings!
Panopoly- a mix of the blue-green star buttons with the desert sand star buttons to use for scrapbooking and altered art
and lastly BerdandBee’s ultra cool Handpainted Tree Coffee Mug-I’d like to have gc towards a pair…very very cool stuff
Happy Birthday. I always thought that June would be a better month to have a birthday..than December. (It sucks).
I really liked the Honey Blossom Bracelets at Lilyella. In fact, a number of her bracelets caught my eye.
I am a scrapbooker and the buttons at panopoly are georgous! Dare I use them on a page instead of a dresss?
And I love serving pieces so the addition of the Handpainted Tree Service plate from Etsy would be nice.
Celebrate out loud, girl!
Happy Happy Birthday! Great website.
My favorites are:
Berd & Bee
Lillyella
Brooklyn Soul
Have a great birthday!
I adore everything you have here! But if I was tortured and forced to pick three
I love the Ivory Floral Stash and Go purse from Able Mable

I love Up Up’s personalized stationery set
Very happy bday Jen! I think you look sprightly and youthful and fabulous.

up up creative
Berd & Bee
able mabel
Odd. I wrote out a huge dealio yesterday but didn’t immediately see it posted to the comments. I guess it didn’t work!!! *sigh*
Happy Birthday yesterday!!! I hope you had a fantabulous day!!!
1) I’m in so much love with lillyella’s shop. I dare say I might drop a bit of $$ on it before I find out if I win this!! I’m in complete and utter love with her Forget Me Knot Bracelet!!! I also love her Waterlilly Landing and Broadleaf Buttercup necklaces!
2) I’m lusting after Hilary Caroline’s Jewelry! I’d buy Posie – Pink Chrysanthemum and Vintage Speckled White Beads on Gunmetal Chain Necklace and the Navy Lady necklace in a heartbeat if my purse would allow it!!!
3) I liked the painted mugs and plates on Berd and Bee but what had me at hello was the Modern Doily Pillow!! I don’t know where I would put it if I bought it but I know I’d have to buy at LEAST 5 more just to keep that one pillow company!!
Again I hope you had a happy birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Jen!
You are NOT old! (I should know – this year is a big birthday for me, with a six and a zero in it – and I’M NOT OLD EITHER!)
I hope you have the most wonderful year of your life.

http://www.brooklynsouljewelry.com/product/verdigris-leaflets
You always show the most wonderful things! I just wish I had more cash in hand these days, but I still try to buy handmade whenever possible!
Honey…old is just a state of mind. From what I see from your work…I’d say you’re 21 years old!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
It was hard to choose, such great collections!! Anyway, here it goes: I would love anything from Berd & Bee (such a lovely shop) especially the tree printed serving plate or the botanical coasters. Two: ABEL MABEL’s stash, especially the yellow circles one and her Birdie magnets. Last: LILLYELLA’s Silver Garden Branch Bracelet.
Thanks Lady!! Party hard…doesn’t matter what others said!!

The embroidery mugs are rad, but I also really like the tree candles from Berd and Bee.
The Mum’s The Word ring from Able Mable is quite gorgeous. I would definitely add that to my collection.

I love your choices! My favorites are: Maizie, Lillyella, and Able Mabel. Looks like I need to do some on-line shopping.

I am going to be different.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN; And you are not old. At my age I can say I’m old as dirt!. As my children ask me about coming across the prairie in a ‘covered wagon’. I have to admit the pony express was here befor I arrived. But as I keep this saying hanging by computer I’ll share it with you. You have most likly seen and read this dozens of times already:”Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving saftly in a pretty and well preserved body,but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming ‘WOW, WHAT A RIDE”!! That is my motto in life. (I’m almost 70).
The three things I like best are (although I like them all:
#1 PANOPOLY love the ‘twee bowls and spoons.
#2 BERT AND BEE Embroidery cup. LOVE IT.
#3 BROOKLYNSOUL, the gold rush necklace is lovely.
HAPPY
Although it isn’t close to your 100th, its something to aim for
One Hundredth Birthday -by Kim Bridgford
Your birthdays now are lit with irony,
And years build up like tombstones on the cake.
You use one candle for simplicity.
Anticipation mixes with an ache
That makes you wonder how you got this far,
And when. At thirty, things became a blur,
And then the weary nonsense of the rest.
One hundredth birthday bash! It’s a mistake,
You say, and they count out for you, alike,
With rapid fingers all your days. No test:
You can’t believe you are three numbers strong.
You’ve become a span of time where people go
To reevaluate where man went wrong.
Time’s diplomat, you smile, and then you blow.
I hope you had a happy, fun-filled, decadent, cake-eating day.
My top three shops are:
1. Penelope Rakov (I’d put that certificate toward the small red slice necklace)

My top three picks would be:

berdandbee’s shop tree coffee mug is fresh and pretty!
At Panopoly I’m having a tough time choosing, I like the wagon wheel and clover buttons, but the sky planter is totally cute too.
I love the Solstice necklace by maizie, the buttons by Panopoly, and I totally love the “I’m sorry your—-sucks card by Up Up Creative.
I hope your birthday is great and gives you a year’s worth of happy memories.

I hope that your birthday was wonderful! You are so generous to give away gifts.
My favorite shop is Up Up Creative. I would pick her Feelgood List. That is such a wonderful idea to be able to check off the stuff that makes you happy instead of chores.
Next is Maizie and I’d love to have her Solstice Necklace also. I’m copycatting you, I guess.
Lastly, Able Mable, I am really liking the Poppies Sign. Its so sunny and happy.
thanks for your generosity,
melissa

HEY! Happy Birthday!!!! Hah well at least you didnt have your old age crisis like me when I turned 21! LOL! yes thats right…21. I realized i could never get away with the stuff i used to, and that I was an official adult. I don’t refer to people as being old anymore unless they ARE old..like say…90! You can offend so many people that way! I work with woman in an OR who are majority over 45 so I know when to be careful! LOL!
I purchased jewerly from Lillyella and Hilary Caroline yesterday, so those two shops are a definite fav! I LOVE THEIR stuff!
My third choice would have to be Berd and Bee, cute mugs!!!!
Thanks! and Good Luck to everyone!!!

How could I ever choose just three items?! I love all of them! The necklace featured from Hilary Caroline Jewelry is gorgeous! And I love the purse featured too! Wow, very hard to choose just three …. I could list items all day long …
Of course, who wouldn’t love a personalized mug!!!
Thank you for the giveaway! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! I hope it was wonderful!
So hard to choose just 3 favorites! But I love Maizie Designs, especially the necklace you pictured and the In the Navy lariat. I also love the Oak Leaf bangle bracelet at BrooklynSoul and the Tree Serving Plate at Berd and Bee. Thank you so much for introducing me to such fabulous shops!
Many happy birthday wishes.
#1. Berd and Bee
#2. Up Up Creative
#3. Hilary Caroline Jewelry
I hope you have the happiest of birthdays!
I love Something Blue at Hilary Caroline Jewelry- well, I love a ton of the things at Hilary Caroline Jewelry, but that’s standing out today. I have a similar difficulty deciding from lilyella’s collection; the garden branch bracelet? The Waterlilly Landing necklace?
At panpoly I would absolutely stock up on those gorgeous buttons- I’ve never been able to resist buttons.
And I know it’s only supposed to be three, but my love of labradorite demands I give Mazie’s Searchlight earring a mention. Gorgeous!
Happy Birthday! May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
