Birthday wishes
Sun, 11 Apr 2010Although it's still Sunday here in Ottawa, there's a 14 hour time difference between here and Jo's part of the world, so it's already Monday in Brisbane. And Monday happens to be Jo's BIRTHDAY!!! I thought I'd put this up now so Jo sees this when she wakes up and (unfortunately) has to go to work. :) Happy birthday blog buddy!! I hope you have a fantastic day and get lotsa pressies. Speaking of pressies, I know exactly what I would get you if I wasn't in dire need of every cent I have to put towards an upcoming wedding and house renovations...a moroccan wedding blanket, which we have both been coveting for quite some time. Unfortunately all you get is a photo (via Living Etc.).
And since it's almost Monday I thought I'd throw in a couple photos of Jo's dog Mickey laying on some furniture in her office.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jo! Hope the day, and the year ahead, are fantastic for you! :)
Happy Birthday! May you have a great day and year!
happy birthday jo! hope you have a great day.
Kim I'm going to kill you!!!!! :) Mickey is very happy though because he has wanted to be in Pets on Furniture for ages. Thanks Beefy, Claudia and Jen! I'm running out the door for work and won't be near the internet (love a government job - not) so won't be able to make any more comments for hours but thanks for the birthday wishes in advance!
Many happy returns of the day! Hope you enjoy a LARGE cocktail at the end of the day, and here's hoping it doesn't rain on your bday in your tropicana QLD!
Happy birthday Jo. Have a fun-tastic day!!
I like Mickey's creative use for a stack of magazines. 'No pillow? No problem, I'll just rest my head on these magazines."
Happy birthday to Jo!
Hope you have a great birthday Jo! And how gorgeous is that pooch of yours..actually, I may be a little biased as I have one who looks remarkably similar. Even has the same darker colouring. Have a wonderful day, Kerri xx
I love a blog that ain't afraid of the dogs, so cute, and so at home on the living room furniture. Your dog is an extension of your home in the most literal of meanings. Happy Birthday Jo, many more
Thank you Rebecca! It's a big glass of Irish whiskey thanks very much and it is raining! Thank you Isabel!
Thank you Stephanie! Maybe Rebecca's cocktail birthday wish would suit your island lifestyle more :) Thanks too Kerri :) Good to hear you have a strawberry blonde lab too. Have you sent a pic in for pets on furniture? I can't remember.
Lisa my dog owns this place! We're just here to keep him happy. Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Happy Birthday Jo! Love the Union Jack cushion with the pink stripe - such fun!
Thanks Will! The cushion is by Karen Hilton Designs.
Happy Birthday, Jo! Hope you have a great day!
happy happy birthday jo! thanks for all of the amazing design inspiration.
A very happy birthday to you! Thanks a lot for this blog!
re; Mickey post: anyone else notice it's a dog on "dogstooth." ? Some call it's "houndstooth"...both work though!
What's so interesting about the Mickey photo is that in the first one, there's a great rug that really completes the look - and in the second one, there is not. I just got an interesting lesson in "putting it all together." I really love this room and would love to see more of it.
Happy Birthday Jo! Hope you have a great day!
Thank you so much Christina, Melanie and Stephanie :) I'm a day late with my thanks so my apologies!
Well spotted Kym. As you can see from the pillows tossed in the corner of the couch I was cleaning at the time. The rug was out being beaten. I have always laughed that Mickey was lying like that because he didn't want his feet touching the ugly wall to wall carpet. The kilim is one of my favourite rugs and is currently in my living room. A b&w cowhide is doing duty in the office for now. In case you haven't figured it out I have a rug fetish :)
Thanks Manvi!
