Our daughter is celebrating her 18th birthday today.
Wow...18. I still think of her as my little girl, and I guess I always will.
She still refers to me as "Mommy," and although that will soon change,I'm enjoying it for now.
I surprised her with this vintage Bauman salesman sample dress form that came to me with an amazing story. A friend of mine inherited 3 of these from her Aunt just recently. Her aunt was a dressmaker during the 1940's in New York, and she met her future husband on a train ride to New York. He happened to be a traveling dress form salesman!
My daughter has been sewing since she was 12, and I could not think if a more fitting gift than this dress form! As a favor to my friend, I will be selling one of these dress forms for my friend on my web site in the
near future!

Happy Birthday to your beautiful "little" girl! =)
Nancy! Had to jump on here this morning and tell you how much I LOVE the clock! It was intended as a birthday gift for my art-deco-possessed SIL (their bedroom is black and gold, to boot), but I am having a HARD time over the thought of parting with it! =)
Wow - what a beauty she is! I can't believe she is 18 already Nanc! :)
The dress form is to die for...love the size of it...
Happy Birthday! 18! I can almost remember what it felt like... So exciting and heady, but rather fearful in small part. My baby is only 9. I can't imagine what the next 9 years will bring... Love your PERFECT birthday gift.
Happy birthday to your dear daughter! You must have been a VERY young mum. :-)))
Awesome dress form -- lucky girl!
Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter! My son, who just turned 16, had his birthday on the 10th. It is amazing how fast they grow up! I still feel so young, how could my baby be 16? It must be so great to have a daughter, I can't wait to get daughters in law! My eldest is getting married in Sept. to a wonderful girl, YEA!
Thanks for having a great blog to visit!
Bless you, Donna Lynn
