It all started a few years ago when two of our group of eight ladies turned 60 and I was given the task of finding a small gift from the group. I happened upon the Birthday Girl figures and the search was over. It is now the custom that as each of us turns 60 we will get a Birthday Girl. There are now four of us who have turned 60, and another one next week. Guess what she's getting.
I was given Birthday Girl for my birthday in February 2011, by a close girlfriend who knows how much i love willow tree ornaments.
The first willow tree was given to me as a thank you gift for delivering a litter of pups for a neighber. I just love the little angel/the puppy in arms. It is so special. I hope to start a collection of these.
I just recieved a new one, Birthday Girl, to celebrate my 55th birthday. I just love that too. They make me smile so much.
