Best Present For A Retro Girl

I always prefer a gift that is thoughtful to a gift that is expensive.  Yesterday was my 35th birthday, for the 8th year in a row!   Anywho, my darling daughters got me the most awesome gift, and I had to share!

 Best Birthday Present Ever!

It’s a Native Union Pop Phone Handset, designed by David Turpin.  It looks like the princess phone of days gone by – and it’s compatible with my cell phone and computer.  I hate it when my cell phone gets hot – makes me afraid I’m frying my brain cells!  This baby eliminates 99% of absorbed phone radiation and is so much more comfy to hold than my tiny phone.

Oh, and it’s pretty and retro.  That’s why my girls knew I’d love it.  Reminds me of the vintage turquoise phone in my living room.  It’s a working phone, but kids who visit always think it’s a toy and love to play with it.  My 19-year-old babysitter didn’t even know how to dial a rotary phone, if you can believe it!

I really do appreciate all my Facebook and email messages from so many of you on my birthday.  Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

    Always loved my Grandma’s big black rotary phone! Lots of fun dialing 10 digits to Florida from Indiana when I used to stay all summer.

    Happy belated birthday! What a darling gift! I’ve still got 13 years on you, so don’t fret! And you’re light years ahead of me in blog-land…so pat yourself on the shoulder!

    I mentioned you and your post about ceiling medallions, in last night’s post at http://www.TheTreasuredHome.com. I hope it brings a couple of new friends your way.

    It looks like a toy! I didn’t realize the cord would be that long when you told me about it. You’re right–perfect gift. Way to go Audrey and Kelta!

    I love your phone-s! They’re both awesome… and the rotary dial story is a hoot! Do I dare say that’s what I grew up with?
