For those of you just tuning in, you gotta scroll down and read the post below to get the drift of what's going on here! ;)
Soooo what did you really think I sent her? I'll give you one more chance to guess...

I made her a necklace with all the 'gypsy' colors that I can only imagine Sandi loves...(and all the deep vintage colors that I love too) ... black, ruby red, emerald green and gold and brown...

To top it off, I wrapped it ever so precious and continued her Victorian Gypsy theme and logo onto a (used) jewelry box that I re-covered in sheet music (scrapbook paper)...

and added another cabochon with her beautiful logo and tied it all together with a chocolate red seam binding...

Thank you for sharing in my excitement in Sandi's birthday! I just love birthdays...everyone's birthday! I believe a birthday is a special day and it's YOUR day. I love birthdays sooo much that I've made my whole month a birthday month...{well if you follow me...you should know that by now!} If not, you can click on October in my side bar and see that almost every post was a birthday post! No matter how old I get...It's my day! My month!

well, lucky Sandi!!! that is a lovely and thoughtful gift...and your packaging is just as beautiful as the gift itself...i am sure it was a very happy birthday indeed:)
While I was drooling all over this beautiful piece of art, I kept thinking of that one line from an old I Love Lucy episode when they were in Italy..."Todaya, shesa my birthdaya too!" Are you buying any of this? Sandi is one lucky girl to have such a talented and thoughtful friend like you!

Forgot to say...you have to read that line with an Italian accent otherwise it's just bad spelling!

That is absolutely gorgeous!!! No doubt she loves it:). She will look like a queen wearing this necklace!
Blessings,

*gasp* It's breathtaking. I love the colors! Sandi is a lucky lady to have a friend like you! :)
Any gypsy would be in Heaven to wear such a lovely piece. I love 'everything vintage' about it. Now I'm kicking myself that I kept my birthday a secret. Bet you can't even guess what month it's in. Anyway I absolutely love the care you put into the wrapping of it, very special indeed.
Hugs,
June
Jodie,

It was so well thought out from the gift to the packaging!! Lucky Sandi!!!!
Happy Birthday to the July babies :) Your gift to Sandi was lovely!
You came over to my place the other day and read my 101 Things to Do in 1001 Days and left a lovely comment. I was a bit overwhelmed last week - and wasn't able to respond properly. I hope you do write your list. I refer to mine very often and have crossed off so many more than I've blogged about.
Have a fabulous July!
