Hello October Birthday Gals!

As I write this it is reaching 80 degrees and humidity is hovering around 74%.  I'm sweating and it's the end of September.  It's hard to believe that October is right around the corner.

If you or someone you know has an October birthday, your birth sign is Libra --September 23 - October 23.  You are charming, perceptive, diplomatic, pleasant and refined.  Does this sound like the Libra you know?

The October Birth Flower is the Marigold. The meaning of Marigold is sorrow or sympathy.  If this was my birthday month I wouldn't like to receive Marigolds--would you?  They are a pretty fall flower though.

 
The October birthstone is the Opal. The traditional properties closely associated with the Opal birthstone are hope, innocence and purity together with happiness, faithfulness, loyalty and confidence.  The opal is also given to commemorate a 14th wedding anniversary, opal stands almost alone among gemstones for it's non-crystalline nature.  The multi-colored stones have a rich and varied history, and were collected by ancients aroundthe world.  Romans called them "Cupid paederos" meaning a child is as beautiful as love.  They believd that opals fell to earth in a flash of lightening.

 
Although glee gifts does not carry Marigolds, nor opals, we do have many other gifts for the birthday girl in your life.  Stop by soon to see what's new, or just to chat!

Feather Frenzy!

Feathers are quite in fashion for the fall and glee gifts is carrying many feathery accessories including earrings, necklaces and headbands.  To keep your feather fashion in focus here are some tips from Birmingham stylist Nia Elizabeth White on how to wear the trend:

Don't go overboard. If you wear a pair of feather earrings, you don't need to wear a feather necklace and a feather headband. Remember, less is more.

Pair a peacock feather belt with a simple T-shirt and jeans. Let the belt be your conversation piece.

Avoid wearing a necklace if your feather earrings are very long. If the feather earrings are short, consider wearing a rhinestone necklace or small necklace that sits in the middle of the chest area.

A simple black dress goes well with the feather earrings. If you want to go casual, consider jeans.

Consider pairing peacock feathers with pearls. Try peacock feather earrings with a pearl necklace for a different look.

September Tidbits

September's birthstone is Sapphire---gloriously blue in color and is a suggested gemstone for 5th and 45th anniversaries.

September's birth flower is the Astor, whose symbol is wisdom and faith.

If you are born between August September 22 you are a Virgo.  You are orderly, modest, diligent, analytical and self-sufficient.

The 22nd is National Centurians Day--do you know somoene who has reached the milestone of 100 years of age?  There are more than 100,000 centurians this month in the United States.

Grandparents Day falls on September 11th this year--the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.  Although somber, fitting given the strength and guidance grandparents offer families.  

Remember the Monkees? That Girl? Star Trek, Mission Impossible and Tarzan all celebrate their 45th anniversary this month.

Have a good month.
