Happy Birthday Goose!

Lisa, Fauna, Araina and Harvey the hedgehog wish Goose (Fairy Magic) a Happy 9th Birthday!

Here's a wish for happiness

and many dreams come true!

Not only on your special day,

but always - all life through!

Now Sassy and 6!

Happy Birthday to my sassy little 6 year old! Here's to the first day of being 6!

Having to pose for the camera with Hoot the owl (made by mommy).



Eating a lot of homemade smoothy pops.


Getting into the pool without help.

Making wishes and blowing out the candles of the lavender chocolate cake (will share recipe tomorrow).

Eating the cake. Yum!

Making silly 6 year old faces!

Opening gifts from beautiful blogger friends. Thank you Goose from Fairy Magic.

Special lollies from Spain. Thank you Jane from Spain Daily.

Playing in the pool with new little friends from Mimi.

Finding new growth of the plant variety.

And discovering a molting green lacewing, which is a beneficial insect to the garden, YEA!

What a beautiful day!

***Blogger friends, sorry I haven't commented for the past few days; life has been crazy for me for the past few days (will spare you the details). Friends that visit my blog, if you are still having problems reaching my blog, type in http://5orangepotatoes.com/. That should get you there without poblems; the blogspot address is supposed to be fixed soon. I still don't know why the blogrolls and dashboards are updating on some but not others. Sorry for the inconvenience; hopefully Blogger will have it fixed soon.

Friends with Shops 1

I thought I would share our wishlist of items from some blogger friends of mine. I have quite a few blogger friends with amazing shops full of goodies; these are the places I plan to do my holiday shopping this year. This is just the beginning of my wishlist.....more to come from other great shops!

*I catch my girls on Magic Onions' blog and Etsy shop all the time. They have many items from her shop on their wishlist! I have shared her Mother Earth with you all before. We love her mushroom house where the little gnome lives!

From the incredible felt artist Magic Onions at her Fairyfolk Etsy Shop

*I love snails! Especially ones that are of the best quality and non-toxic! Syrendell has all sorts of lovely non-toxic toys for you and the kids!

From the talented family of the Syrendell Etsy Shop

*Our beautiful Sophie dog would be proud wearing this collar and leash!! I am a daisy lover so this one is on my wishlist!

From the lovely Jane of coco & dean

Jane also is from the blog Spain Daily, that hosts the cornerview every Wednesday.

****Hint Hint to my family......these are great places to shop for gifts for the birthdays and holidays which are right around the corner. Use the Paypal option, you don't need an account, credit card will do. Let's support these small business owners!

Interview Me??

The very talented and creative felt artist D, The Magic Onions, asked to interview yours truly. I am so honored and touched that she took the time to dedicate a post about me. I have been following her since my first week blogging and have been addicted to her posts ever since. Hop over to The Magic Onions to see the beautiful felt work she does and how she brings magic into her little ones' lives daily (and read my interview here, she asked me some fun questions).

She also has an Etsy shop where she sells her gorgeous creations.

By the way, she is having her first giveaway. She is giving away one of her beautiful fairy godmothers. So be sure to leave a comment on her giveaway post.

Thank you D!
