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!
