Dear Lynn,
Oh, you're just a bay. I'm SOoooo much older that that !! Who cares though. We can't stop time so we must embrace it.You look wonderful for 50. I bet that you will be something wonderful for your birthday, won't you ? I look forward to hearing all about it.
As I am getting on in years now !! haha... I think that my dream birthday gift is just having all of my family with me. There is nothing materialistic that I yearn for or places to visit. Whatever happens on my birthday, I'm just so pleased to be with the ones that I love....sorry to be so sickly, mushy and sentimental, but it's true !!
Thanks for the most wonderful giveaway. You are a generous soul, Lynn.
I'll put your giveaway on my sidebar. XXXX
Hi Lynn!

Happy Birthday Miss Lynn! You don't look a day over 40 and your interest in new things will keep you younger than most for many years to come! My dream birthday? A gathering with all my friends and family around me -- hits from my youth 70/80's, dancing until very late, sharing memories of the dumb things we survived. Have a great birthday and thanks for sharing the fun!!!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!

My dream gift would be a trip, especially Greece, Morocco or India. I love to travel, and there are so many places am dying to see but I just never have the time...and the few times I have taken a trip something always comes up with my business that makes me anxious to return home.

Ok, so maybe my dream gift would just be the luxury of free time, without needing to check in on my email or voice mail constantly!
Unknown said…
Oh! Thank you for sharing your birthday with us! Hope you'll share pictures of your lovely party too!
My dream birthday gift would be the ability to grant wishes!
Merci!

Happy Birthday Lynn! I think my dream gift would be... plane tix and a fabulous hotel... where? The land of croissants! Paireee!
Cashon&Co said…
Yea, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Can I wish for a combo birthday present? Mine would be: on a serious note, all my health problems to disappear so I can enjoy life more and when that happens THEN I would want a few plane tickets (1st class hopefully) to Paris for shopping (with an enormous budget) with my girlfriends, then have my family meet me and the four of us travel throughout Europe (with an enormous budget) and be like a refined version of the Grizwalds...that's my birthday wish. ☺I hope your birthday wishes come true!♥
happy-happy birthday...have fun!

My favorite birthday gift would be to go back to the day my husband of 38 years and I shared our first kiss. As he said later, "That was hello".
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYNN!! My dream birthday gift would be a home near my oldest daughter in San Fran!
Corine said…

First & foremost - Happy Birthday Lynn. Welcome to the 50's club. It comes so quickly does it not?!

I'm with Jacqueline - I think to have all my children together again for even a few days would be the greatest gift of all. My eldest son turned 26 yesterday. How I would of loved to have celebrated with him. Wishing you the best decade ahead ever.

Oh Lynn! What fun, Happy Birthday to you!!!

Gorgeous giveaway, it's all so beautiful :)

Since we're wishing big here, I have the best memories of my Mother and one of those is sitting on the top of the Eiffel Tower on a trip there with her (our last one together) and sipping coffee and talking for hours. It was cold and breezy, and beautiful. My Birthday wish would be to spend just one more beautiful evening with her. Just sipping coffee and talking.

Happy 50th Lynn!!!!! Much love :)

My dream birthday gift would be to to have the joy of the new love my husband and I once had, and with that, go to Paris.
Happy Birthday & Congratulations!
I too would love a trip abroad... but {just in case my husband is wondering} for this birthday I really want a Diana Mini Camera {because who wouldn't want a camera with their name on it - especially when it can take such nostalgic looking photos}
Thanks for the opportunity to enter this competition. I blogged about it here http://searchingforsporadicsurprises.blogspot.com/2010/02/adelaide-cup-if-fast-approaching-im.html
Cheers - Diana

Stephanie said…
Happy Birthday! My dream birthday would be family, friends, and lots of good food at my beach house. I don't really have a beach house, that is part of the dream. :-)
madwoman-doing-cartwheels said…
Happy Birthday in advance! I also have a February birthday only I turned the big six-OH!

My dream birthday would be to shave 30 years off my actual age for about 30 days and see if i couldn't redo some choices a little differently.

Heather said…
So hard to decide! A remodeled kitchen is one dream, a trip to Paris is another. Probably what I would dream most for is for a trip to Paris with my hubby, just the two of us.
Diana Brito said…
I am turning 50 this year as well.

What I would like as a gift would be a summer in Paris in a wonderful Parisian apartment. You know the kind with the tall windows and the shutters that open outward toward a boulevard of trees and a view of the Eiffel Tower.

Happy Birthday...
Di from San Francisco
Lisa Jones said…
Happy Birthday, what a great thing to be celebrating!! Hope I'm where I want to be at 50 too.

A trip to Italy!
Jeluxury said…
Happy Birthday Lynn!

Would it still be a gift if I am the one giving it on my birthday? I would love to take my loving mother to Dubai for a week, to experience the gorgeous country on a personal level and not on business level. Any day or time with my mom is a gift.

I will also repost this on my blog this Wednesday…it is an honor to write about you Lynn.

XOXO

Happy birthday!!! I am loving your blog.

Happy Birthday dear girl !!

My 16 yr old daughter has been working hard saving money and studying french at school...all in preparation to go to Paris one day. Since our birthdays are one month apart ... what a wonderful gift for both of us ! A little pied a terre for the summer ( or more ) with an unlimited budget and unlimited number of family and friends visiting ... and a 'little' champagne. THAT would be a dream come true !

xoxo

Have a happy and inspiring birthday Lynn!! Although I know the 50th is a bit hard to swallow (mine was last week!) I know you will do it with style and grace. Enjoy!
Stephanie J said…
Happy Birthday!

Dream gift? One of those Jonathan Adler leather hippo ottomans. Or a cute English boy who wears sweaters and scarves...to be my one and only! :)
Tina-Marie said…
Happy, Happy Birthday!
My 50th birthday was last May, and I was dreading it. So, my mom (who turned 70 two weeks before I turned 50)booked a cottage through Mermaid Cottages Vacation Rentals (they are fabulous...check them out on Facebook) on Tybee Island, Georgia. It was a fabulous week exploring the island and Savannah with my mom. So my best gift - the time I spent with her.

That's so lovely! My birthday is coming up in March so now would be a good time to start dreaming up some great wishes. I'm not so big on item gifts, I've always enjoyed my birthday with great family and friends, drinks and food! Since this is a wish, I'd love to have enough to give back and take care of my parents!
Janet said…
Happy birthday! Hope it is fabulous!

My dream gift would be a return trip to Tuscany with my DH and three adult children, staying in a lovely villa.
Happy Birthday to you Lynn. 50's a great age. Just found your blog. I lived in Paris for 4 years as a child. Would love to go back now.
My wish would be that my dad doesn't have cancer. He's 82.
Thanks for sharing your birthday with us. Have a Wonderful party!!!!
Anna said…
Happy Birthday Lynn! I hope you enjoyed your birthday cake (wink and nudge). Your husband is so sweet and I think we came up with something terrific for you.

My dream birthday gift would be all the time in the world to make art.... and then just as much time to spend with my fiance. I'll keep dreaming!

Betty said…
Happy Birthday, Lynn! I hope that you find that your 50s are fabulous years.

My dream vacation would be a return to Paris and its flea markets. I would use the French that I have been learning since I retired and enjoy the vendors and the wonderful settings.

In honor of your birthday I am buying one of your accessories that I have wanted.
Oooooh! I NEED that $50 gift certificate. My birthday wish: to win that $50 gift certificate. :) J/K. It's gonna sound cheesy, but if birthday wishes really came true, I would wish for the ability to believe in myself no matter what: confidence without question. Wouldn't that be lovely?

Happy Birthday, Lynn. 50 Years of Wonderful!
