Flower of the Month






The royal dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II, Hardy Amies (1909 – 2003) was born on this day. Despite the fact that he made the Queen’s frocks he established a very successful gentleman’s tailoring business in Saville Row, London and it is still going strong. James Bond, amongst the many rich and famous, gets his togs from Saville Row where “bespoke” suits are the order of the day. “Bespoke” by the way means that the item is “bespoken for” in tailor speak! Quaint!


All the way from Auckland, New Zealand, Gale Garnett (1942) will be “Singing in the Sunshine” at her birthday bash!



Happy Special Day to one and all!!
If you know someone who is celebrating their birthday, anniversary or a special day today or sometime soon why not send them a nice e-card so they get it as soon as they log on! Even better, why not send this page to your friend!
Don’t know what to get for a present? Think about what your special person enjoys doing and the things they like.
For Girls, I know that flowers and chocolates are a bit cliché but nevertheless they always seem to work! Of course, if your budget stretches that far, jewellery, watches, perfume and fashion items are always appreciated!
For Boys, all boys like toys! It’s just as they get older the toys get more expensive. So gadgets and gimmicky things work. Again, if you have the budget then car accessories, sporting equipment and clothes, and man type jewellery like watches and gold chains will go down very well!
And, if all else fails, you could always send them a gift voucher and they can choose whatever they want!
If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other special event today I hope you got lots of cards and presents and that there is someone special in your life who will make this day a very happy and special day for you.
Happy celebrations to you from the Happy Special Day Blog!!
