500 Wishes and the Papillon Mannequin
 |
| A Birthday Wish |
If I had one birthday wish, it would be to see
the number 500 in my 'Followers' box.
It may seem strange, but I see you come,
one by one...you fantastic followers of mine.
Slowly, slowly, the numbers tumble forth...
488..489..490... and I thank you all!
Just 10 more by Sunday,
do you think it is possible?
This Virgo mind of mine wonders...
A birthday wish. :)
Oh yes..and this too.
The 'Papillon' mannequin
or maybe 'Cecilia'.
They are all so pretty, it is hard to decide!
I know one thing,
when I hit 500, a giveaway will
be needed to celebrate!

Well, I did click "like" on Facebook for you! Happy Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah! xx
ReplyDeleteOh, many congratulations to you Jeanne .... those last 10 will come in thick and fast and it won't be long before you reach that magic 500 !
ReplyDeleteOur daughter is desperate for a mannequin. We were at an Antiques Fair on Saturday, but there wasn't one mannequin there.....and it was a massive Antiques Fair !! I must go and have a look at Corset Laced Mannequins. How timely is it for me that you told us about it ? Here's to you getting your 500th follower really soon. XXXX
I'd follow you again if I could! I'm sure your number will continue to rise... :-) Happy early Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Jeanne...hope all your dreams come true!! :-)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
I know that you will reach 500! I just reached 19 followers, and I was thinking to myself that I was doing pretty well. I have a long, long, long way to go to catch up to you my friend. But it is all about the journey I guess.
ReplyDeleteI hope tha you had a wonderful first day of school rest.
Happy Birthday, Jeanne. And congrats . . . 500 followers. WOW
ReplyDeleteFondly,
Glenda
Wow....500! I hope you get your lucky number!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you.
Many thanks ladies...when it comes to blogging, it's the journey that is the most fun for me. There are so many treasures in my 490...I count you all among them. :)
ReplyDeleteJackie.. I found two mannequins, not vintage, but they could easily do, at Bentalls in Kingston. I have discovered lots more on UK websites too. Putting in a google search for 'vintage mannequins' will get you there. :)
I am number 495 Jeanne! Happy birthday for Sunday...thinking of you....xv
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun! Thank you Vicki!
ReplyDeleteFive more to go and I will be thinking giveaways from my French Collection. :)
French Collection= bits and pieces I picked up in my travels thru France last month.
Wishing you joy & happiness on your forthcoming Birthday x
ReplyDeleteNot intending to deflate your ego :) To my mind it is not the number of followers that actually matters, rather it is the number of people who take the time to leave a comment ?
Heron...thank you for you message and I could not agree more. Just wishful thinking on a September morning. :)
ReplyDelete.. Happy Birthday, hope you are having fun ... you're probably at 500 now, or moments away ... love the blog ... Deauville25/Karen in CT
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanne, I can't believe Juniper Hill wasn't on there as a follower. Shame on me. Thanks for this post and forcing me to check! At least this will get you one step closer. And, happy birthday!--Joe
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jeanne...keep on blogging!
ReplyDeleteJoe...many thanks!
ReplyDeleteVictoria.. I will, thank you :)
If I could 're-follow' you Jeanne I would but I am already a fully paid up member of the Jeanne club! I did once read a comment you left me that said that you felt much happier when you didn't know how many followers. My design page has a fault where I can't see how many followers I have on the blog - but I know from the dashboard that it's about 456ish. People drop off every now and then - maybe I am not floating their boat?! Anyway - each to their own and if you get to the big 500 that's fab! Lou x
ReplyDeleteNearly there! I'm already following for a long time but I'll be checking in to see when you reach 500 - which I'm sure will be before Sunday!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jeanne! So close, my fellow Virgo. It's tantalising, isn't it? As for those mannequins, you know I'd choose the papillon. No question! J x
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for so long ... I wasnt sure i had clicked as a follower ... low and behold I'm there ... sorry I cant click again!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and I'm sure you'll surpass the 500!
xx
Lou...you are so right, I did! One day, I lost the ability to hide the number and it has been staring me in the face ever since. I promised myself once it got to 500 I would not look anymore. :)
ReplyDeleteVictoria, Jane and Marina....Thank you!
Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day. xx
ReplyDeleteThe mannequins are so pretty. Looks like you'll be to 500 soon, such a magic number!
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
