Birthday Crown



A Birthday crown fit for a Queen. I have just finished Olivia's crown. I used merino felted sheets from Karen Platte down in the Cape. I have also sewn on real crystals. I love to really live in the moment when the children have their birthdays. I have an old antique french chair that I will place the crown on. I also roll out a long carpet or piece of fabric for the birthday girl to walk up as she takes her place for the day. I just love the book titled "The Birthday Book" by Ann Druitt. The idea's are wonderful. Talk about creating a special day from start to finish. I also love the book called the "Rainbow Bridge" I use the rainbow bridge story for every birthday.

Hi Hallie

Happy to help. I brought the book called "Beyond the rainbow bridge" by Barbara.j. Patterson from Amazon.com. I have just looked and it cost $17.95 new or used from $13.49. Betterworld.com also sells it but it is out of stock right now. It was one of the first books I got when we started homeschooling. Its a treasure.

Thank you for visiting

Warm regards
Suzanne
