Birthday Bobbies

I turned one year older this week, and this is one of the sweet little gifts I received from a friend.

At first I thought of babushkas, just because of the image on the card, and the striped patterns on the pins. But then I realised, of course, they were little flapper girls, with bobs! Bobs on bobby pins. Too bad I don’t actually have a bob, although I’ve worn several incarnations over the years.

My friend Rapunzel found these Monique Germon pins at a very cute boutique called i dream a highway, an evocative name if ever I heard one. She says she could easily stock her entire wardrobe from there, and after browsing through their gallery, I quite agree. Fortunately for my purse it’s quite a long way to go for me. I might just have to wait until next year.
