Happy birthday, sweetheart!
? Day 218 of Vintage 365 ?
As with all days of the year, today has played host to a great many people's birthdays over the centuries. From famed British poet Tennyson (b. 1809) to pop culture artist Andy Warhol (b. 1928), Noble laureate Sir Alexander Fleming (b. 1881) to beloved actress Lucile Ball (b. 1911), quite a few well-known folks have made their debut into life on August 6th.
While I certainly love Lucy, enjoy Andy's vibrant art, lap up Tennyson's words, and am very thankful for the work Fleming contributed to the world of science and medicine, the person whose birthday falls today that matters most to me is that of my beloved husband, Tony.
As he turns a spritely 31 this sizzling hot August morn, today will be the seventh of his birthday I've gotten to celebrate with him, and I could not be more elated about that fact.
Tony and I are both "summer babies" (with my birthday falling in July), and we love the fact that there's less than a month separating our special days. The time between the two seems to hold a special sort of excitement and anticipation, fuelled on my birthday first and the lead up to his today.
There's a cake to be baked, meals to prep, gifts lay out, and myriad other birthday details to tend to, so today's post won't be a giant one.
Instead, as the searing golden sun cuts a path across the sleepy horizon, I'll cheerfully send all those - who like me - are fans not only of your loved ones' birthdays, but b-days in general, to cheek out not one, not two, but three different delightful Flickr groups devoted solely to vintage birthdays!
-Happy Vintage Birthday to You
{This sweet little dark eyed tot from the 1940s, whom I discovered in the Happy Vintage Birthday to You Flickr group, reminds me in many ways of my husband in his baby pictures from the same age. Both were so cute and eager to dig into their birthday treats! Image via Zellaby on Flickr.}
I feel honoured and blessed to share in this special day with Tony. He's an wonderful, intelligent, caring, sweet, funny, loving man and I am truly grateful that I can to spend my life with him - and celebrate his today! (Wearing my very favourite vintage party dress, natch!)
Happiest birthday, my darling, here's to countless more August sixths together!

Kak� Heading To London?
The Daily Star is reporting that North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are in a race to secure Brazilian ace Kak� on a year-long loan deal.
Arsenal have already had an initial bid turned down by Kak�s club Real Madrid -- who are reluctant to loan the player to a side also competing in the UEFA Champions League -- but are eager to try one more time.
The tabloid, however, reports that Spurs are in the best position to land the player as their chairman, Daniel Levy, has a good relationship with Madrid�s board and is already in the midst of bringing Kak�s Madrid teammate Lassana Diarra to White Hart Lane.
Both Arsenal and Spurs have till midnight on Wednesday 31 August (when the transfer window closes) to finalise purchase and/or loan deals.
Kak�, 29, won the FIFA World Player of the Year accolade in 2007 but has, since his move to Real Madrid in 2009, suffered a general loss of form and a slew of career-threatening injuries. There�s no doubt, however, about the player�s class. In fact, a move to London could be just what the man needs.

Quite possibly the cutest miniature dressmakers form ever!
? Day 226 of Vintage 365 ?
There's an unspoken rule that if something is cute in its regular size, it stands to be utterly adorable if you shrink it down. From teacup pigs to miniature ponies, the animal kingdom is teaming with examples of this rule, but everyday life has plenty of cases, too - just think of doll houses, bite sized cupcakes, and baby clothes to name but three.
I think that dressmakers forms (aka busts or dummies) are amongst the most beautiful items one can have in their home. Whether used for their original purpose as a tailoring aid, put to use for storing and displaying items, or merely as a decorative element, there's something about there endearing blend of functionality and feminine beauty housed in dress forms that makes me swoon right, left and centre over them.
Usually, however, while strikingly attractive, "cute" isn't the first adjective that comes to mind when describing these classic sewing room inhabitants. Not at least, that it is, until some clever soul started making miniature forms of them. These pint sized version are nearly always just for organizational or decorative purposes, being to small to aid in the tailoring of just about anything but doll clothes.
I've seen numerous examples of miniature dressmaker's busts over the years, in all manner of materials (from metal to plastic), yet few have come close to being as wonderfully cute as the very, very lifelike version I spied this week on Pottery Barn's website.
There is such a marvelous authenticity to this smaller sized, vintage inspired sewing bust. From the wooden spindle leg to the cotton canvas body, I'm flat-out smitten with it. I could see this in so many spots around the house, from a dresser to a vanity, home office desk to a bookshelf. Really, for something this deeply sweet, there's scarcely a spot that wouldn't help its adorableness shine.
If, like me, you've fallen head-over-heels for this 26.5 inch tall miniature dress form, you can pick up one (or ten, you know, whatever works ) online from Pottery Barn, where they're available for $63.63 Cnd (apologizes to my US readers, the website is automatically showing me the price in Canadian dollars).
Then prepare to sit back and watch with a smile (and keen sense of what's coming) as everyone who walks into you house and sees this incredibly darling vintage style mini dressmaker's dummy squeals with delight and implores you to know where you got it from.

Brooke Shields And Celebrity Friends To Read Children's Stories At Charity Event
Julianne Moore, Brooke Shields, John C. Reilly and Billy Crudup are just some of the big names lending their voices to a special charity event in October.
The stars will read specially selected children’s books to an adult audience, simulating what volunteers in Bellevue Hospital’s Pediatric Clinic do every day as part of the Reach Out and Read program. The Starry Night Stories event will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the program.
Children of Bellevue’s Reach Out and Read encourages reading aloud as a regular, joyful home activity that can improve language development, parent child interactions and school success.
For the past 15 years, pediatricians, parent educators, and volunteer readers have worked together to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and to give books to children at pediatric checkups from 6 months through 5 years of age, with a special focus on children growing up in poverty.
Children of Bellevue’s Reach Out and Read is part of National Reach Out and Read (ROR), an evidence-based nonprofit organization that promotes early literacy and school readiness in pediatric exam rooms nationwide by giving new books to children and advice to parents about the importance of reading aloud. ROR is offered in all 50 states, Washington DC, and on U.S. Military bases overseas.
The event – which takes place on October 3 at Florence Gould Hall, 55 East 59th Street, New York City – will also include hors d’oeuvres and wine reception.

Rob Lowe Unveils Celebrity Charity Handprint Auction
Rob Lowe has joined Valspar Paint and Habitat for Humanity International in unveiling Valspar Hands for Habitat, an initiative to auction the handprints of celebrities and notable personalities to benefit Habitat for Humanity’s relief efforts in Haiti.
Habitat has set a goal to serve 50,000 families impacted by Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, helping move them toward safe, secure and permanent housing. Those donating to the auction created their handprints using Valspar paint.
Ellen DeGeneres
“I am deeply honored to partner with Valspar Paint and Habitat for Humanity for this important initiative that will help Haitian families rebuild their lives,” said Valspar Hands for Habitat ambassador Rob Lowe. “Having access to adequate shelter is a basic human right that everyone deserves. Valspar and Habitat are bringing low-income families the help they so desperately need.”
Teri Hatcher
In addition to Rob Lowe, other notable personalities donating their handprints to the Valspar Hands for Habitat initiative include Andy Cohen, Angie Harmon, Ashley Greene, Calvin Klein, Cynthia Rowley, Donnie Wahlberg, Ellen DeGeneres, Ethan Hawke, James Earl Jones, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jason Sehorn, Jonathan Adler, Katie Couric, Kid Rock, Lauren Conrad, Naomi Watts, Nate Berkus, Paula Deen, Susan Sarandon, Teri Hatcher, Tori Spelling, Vanessa Williams, Zac Posen, Brittany Snow, Cyndi Lauper and many more.
Susan Sarandon
In a nod to Haiti’s historically colorful homes and Valspar’s belief in the transformative power in color, the handprints were made using a variety of Valspar Paint colors. In addition to proceeds from the auction, Valspar is also donating $1,000 for each set of celebrity handprints donated for auction.
“Valspar is proud to continue our longstanding relationship with Habitat and our commitment to making a positive impact in communities everywhere,” said Howard Heckes, senior vice president, Valspar Global Consumer. “Through the Valspar Hands for Habitat program and our work with Habitat for Humanity, we have a unique opportunity to help transform people’s lives and connect them to the power in color.”
Valspar is encouraging the general public to support this initiative and “lend a hand” by taking a picture of their own hands and posting it to the Valspar Paint Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/ValsparPaint. For every photo received, Valspar will donate $1 to Habitat for Humanity.
The Valspar Hands for Habitat program is part of an ongoing partnership between Valspar and Habitat for Humanity International. Valspar Paint has donated more than $40 million in cash and paint contributions to the organization. Valspar and Habitat recently marked their long-standing partnership by celebrating the 1 millionth gallon of Valspar Paint donated to Habitat.
“Valspar has generously supported Habitat’s work with creative efforts for more than 25 years,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “We are so grateful for their continued commitment to provide secure, decent housing in the United States, and we so appreciate the Valspar Hands for Habitat program, which will enable us to help more families in Haiti rebuild their lives.”
The Valspar Hands for Habitat auction went live on Monday, August 22nd at 8:30 a.m. For additional information and to find out how you too can “lend a hand”, visit www.Facebook.com/ValsparPaint.
