16 years ago today you were brought into this world after over 23 1/2 hours of fighting to stay out of it. When nurse Eleanore laid you in my arms for the very first time, it was love at first site... A love like no other.
Since then you have taught me how to be a Mommy and the depth and purity of love that only children can teach us.
While you're still growing up and learning about life, I continue to grow and I hope that I continue to set good examples for you and your sisters. Because I know when I don't, you three are the first to point them out.
You astonish me, my beautiful Brielle. Daily, you amaze me!! I ask myself frequently how I could be so lucky to have you as my Daughter. You're everything under the sun and you continue to grow into one of the most amazing and strong women I know. I couldn't be more proud of you and I couldn't be more excited to share life with you as your Mom and your friend and to be beside you in every adventure you pursue. You're going places my darling. I love you dearly and I thank you for letting me grow up with you. Happy 16th Birthday!!! May all your wishes come true!!!
xoxo

I know so many of you that join me on my blog are Mothers to amazing Daughters as well. This note of love I'm posting for my Daughter on her 16th Birthday could've been written by any one of you to your little girls. Thank you for allowing me to share this Mommy/Daughter moment with you. One of the most valuable lessons I've learned from my Daughters is to try and enjoy as much as possible the moments we have together, because you only get those moments once.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Kymberley

Hello Kymberley,
ReplyDeleteDaughters are special, and happy belated birthday to your Brielle!
We were at the ROTP show, and were able to experience first-hand the beauty of your exquisite homewares. In fact, I have included a picture of some in my latest post.
Wishing you continued success,
Marjorie
Beautiful words and sentiments......I do believe that your childrens' birthdays are even more special to us, the moms - remembering carrying them and giving birth to them and holding them for the first time - any beyond! Enjoy this day!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to have found your blog! We met at Remnants, infact I have worn the necklace I bought from you almost everyday since (LON ticket baubble)

Hi Kym ~
ReplyDeleteWe met at The Farm Chicks Show last June (you purchased my cool, galvanized wash tub & a few other goodies). Just want to say how very talented you are and that I wish your shop was closer (Bellingham, Washington is a long way north!). Congratulations on A Beautiful Mess and the post on Willow Decor (of course I entered the drawing). Best holiday wishes to you!

Beautiful Daughters happy sweet 16.
ReplyDeleteI know just how you feel, I am in the same tempo as you with my 18 year old Hannah...
She is the glue that holds me together!
I was asked to do the Remnants of the past show, yet was a difficult time for me to pull it together! I would have loved to have been there would have been drooling all over your pillows and such.
I am a designer/shop owner and would love to get info on product and min order amounts.
Love your passion for all things euro chic flea market treasure.
See you soon.

Hi, I just bumped into here and I read every single word and I am sooo captured. I have three daughters my own but they are still very young (2,5,7 years). I love to see them growing up too and I am looking forward to see them become little women even if I am quite scared of it yet!

Hello Ms. Kymberley,
ReplyDeleteIt was a true pleasure to meet you last Sunday. I hope to stop by your shop the next time I am in CA.
I gave you a shout out on my blog. I hope you'll stop by for a visit.
Be blessed,
Laura
