I so love vintage birthday cards. Especially those that were intended for children.
These came with pin back buttons that you wore on your birthday.
I love that some proudly declared the age of the birthday child.
How could you not love a card that had a birthday message that included a smiling elephant with an ice cream cone?
A swinging birthday cake of cuteness.
A flowery dog with birthday wishes.
Why the reason for sharing these darling cards? It is my birthday! Happy Birthday to me!
Past birthday posts are here, here, here, here, here, here and here...I have been celebrating with my blogland friends for awhile now!
Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday! :)

Happy Birthday Laurie!
Nothing like thinking your birthday is tomorrow and feeling like a complete idiot to look on here and realize that it's today! Guess I transferred it from last year's calendar and I wrote down the 6th instead of today! Glad I didn't miss the day though :-)The funny thing is reading your blog just now and thinking why you were posting this a day early Ha ha ha ha ha!
Happy Day!

Hope you had an awesome day! I need to try and celebrate my birthday with a little more enthusiasm but since both of my kids also have June birthdays, I tend to overlook mine :-)
