Put on your party hats for Patty, our birthday girl!!

pattybirthdaycake2Everybody ready to celebrate? Let’s give it up for our amazing, wonderful, fearless

Posse leader Patty!!   Happy, happy birthday to our No. 1 perfumista!!

Can we tell you how happy we are that it’s your birthday and how thankful

we are that you founded the Posse back in 2006? I think we can safely say that

our lives would not be the same without our daily dose of fragrant (and other) fun;

from your witty, insightful reviews, travel adventures and beauty experiences,

to fun with knitting, and of course, those doggy tales (gotta love that Vinnie!).

And who could forget your amazingly generous nature and your giveaways galore?

    Patty – I hope you have a wonderful day and all your dreams come true in the next year. I’ve only been reading this blog for about a year, but it always makes my day thanks to you and the rest of the posse crew. Have a great one!

  • tammy says:

    Happy happy birthday! I’m so very grateful for the Posse, which was the very first perfume blog I found. Like Sherri, I happily blame you for many other addictions, DL&Co candles chief among them. My life is richer because of you, and the rest of the Posse.

    I hope this coming year is your best yet!

  • wefadetogray says:

    Dear Patty, adding my wishes to the chorus of “Happy Birthdays” coming your way today. Hope your day is as terrific as you are and that you get some well-deserved rest (a nap for the birthday girl — yes, please!!). Hugs to you …

  • Musette says:

    Happy Birthday, darling!!! Carmine sends his love and says ‘GIMME THAT SCARF! the one my mom made for me is…lame’ 😀

    sigh.

    Have a wonderful, WONDERFUL day and may it be the first of an entire year filled with wonder and beauty and love!

    Patty, have a wonderful birthday, and thanks for everything! You and the Posse led me to the rabbit hole, and I’ve been tumbling happily ever since. I have been thinking about you with the recent crises that undoubtedly had you working around the clock, and I hope you do get some rest between crises.

  • Cecilia says:

    Happy Birthday Patty! 🙂

  • Sherri says:

    Happy Birthday, Patty! You inspire us in so many ways…you make us laugh and make us cry (and I blame you for that Balenciaga handbag in my closet, too naught girl!)! Wishing you every good thing and your best year so far!!
