Thanks for the comments on my profile. Yes, we are the same age! I know it's a bit late now, but happy birthday!

Thanks for your comment on my profile. I must say that I'm loving your new backgroud paper, it looks like Victorian flocked wallper, very sophisticated. I also love your new picture on your profile. Is that woman from the '20s or '30s? Do you know who she is? I love anything vintage!
