Sam can never wait too long to give me a gift once he buys it. So when he went to get my Christmas present yesterday as soon as he got home he insisted I open it. How could I refuse?
And oh how I squealed when I opened the box and found a red bakelite sparrow from the 1940s. The man knows how to shop for a lady.
I named her Betty, she just looks like a Betty, and today I wore her on my white cashmere sweater. She was quite happy.

Best. Skirt. Ever. I've been looking for one like this, but have settled on buying a pattern so I can make millions of my own. (evil laugh...)
Ahhh, your hat and skirt!!! You look gorgeous!
great outfit!
betty is really pretty, you're lucky to have a husband with such good taste
Aw!! Betty is lovely! I love your hat as well :-)
Super cute outfit
A man that will buy you bakelite is a keeper!
I agree with art deco dame! That is a very cute pin!

Such a cute bird pin. He did a great job. My husband is the same. He can never even wrap a present for me because he gets too excited and gives it to me right away :)
dont think my husband can spell bakelite, let alone find it and buy it ;) lucky dog you.
Also are we on for monday??
Sam's great at choosing presents!
I love that skirt, too!
I love the ensemble. The skirt is amazing. You look great. And congrats on the fine man who knows what makes you squeal.
Aww how sweet! I really like your hat too! Maybe that means your husband will have to get you another Christmas present!
I am in love with this ENTIRE outfit -- bird and hat most of all!
Lucky you, you'll have something lovely to wear all of the way until Christmas. Love the way that skirt flatters your waist.

I love Betty, she is adorable! My man is a meanie and won't let me have my pressies until xmas, harumph!
I thought my fiance and I were the only ones who couldn't wait until Christmas to give each other gifts. :D
I'm very glad to see we aren't the only ones!
I love the whole thing! The sweater, the pin, the skirt, the pictures...it's all perfect!
I'm also very lucky to have husband that loves to bring me vintage jewelry, clothing, purses etc.

I had to giggle about Sam not being able to wait to give you gifts; my husband does the same thing. ;)
