a birthday present, something I really, really like.
This year I found myself something extra special and
it arrived with the post this morning.
It did cost a bit more than I would usually spend on a
pattern ($38 including shipping) but I doubt I would
find this particular pattern again for less.

As you probably know by now I'm crazy about 1940's
and 1950's summer wear.
This one is from the 1940's and I can't wait to try and
make this ensemble for myself.
So, do you do the same and if so, what have you given
yourself on your past birthdays?
