Happy Birthday Denise! You have such fab style and I am always delighted to read your firm yet gentle thoughts on everything. I hope to meet you "IRL" one day, but meanwhile am delighted to know you here.

Happy Birthday Denise! You are one gorgeous and stylish woman. Thanks for your friendship here on the forum, you are always so gracious, kind and thoughtful. xxx

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays! I too, very much enjoy your contributions on the forum and your ever interesting style.

Happy birthday, Denise! It's always a treat to see your outfits on the forum. You epitomize cool, effortless California style to me.

Happy Birthday Denise! I enjoyed the time we spent together and wished we could hang out more often.
You are always gracious and encouraging. I value you input and love your post. You have style and I love that we have some pieces in common.
I hope you were spoiled rotten on your special day.

Happy birthday, Denise! I am so happy to know you. Stylish of course, and compassionate and wise. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, beautiful Denise. I look forward to your posts as your outfits and comments are always special. I am in awe of how you sustain such high style on a farm. Your animals are lucky to have such a lovely intelligent friend.

Happy birthday! I'm an ardent fan and true admirer of your style choices... I've learned so much from you! I really hope you know that you are flawless in our eyes. Enjoy your day!

So glad to have the chance to wish you the best of birthdays, Denise! As a midwestern girl, I'm so happy to see country life lived with such a passion for fashion! Your style is fab on every level, and such a graceful extension of you --- no cookie cutter in sight!

Here's to a fab new year!

Denise, you are delightful. Warm, insightful, caring and stylish. Hope you have a fabulous birthday surrounded by those who love you.

What an incredible tribute! Happy Birthday, Denise. It is nice to meet the other pet lovers in the community. I will enjoy getting to know you and putting you on my people to watch list!

Happy Birthday, Denise! I hope you have a wonderful day. I always enjoy your amazing outfits on the forum.

Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a wonderful, happy birthday week - it is great having you here on the forum and I truly look forward to your posts.

Happy BD's Denise, love your style, even if is far away from mine, I find it very streamlined and current! Thanx for beeing here for us:-)

*nodding*, *nodding*, and then *nodding* some more while reading all the comments, Denise, because it is all so true!

It really was absolutely brilliant meeting you in Seattle last Autumn, and I so wish we can do it again sometime SOON. Your sky-high style quotient, your fashion fearlessness, your enthusiasm and eagerness to keep evolving and tweaking your signature style*, your extensive knowledge of all things fashion, and your extremely discerning eye continue to be an inspiration for me.

* I love it how I can go to the Finds area and immediately spot when you have been adding new items. They are super varied and different, yet there is always something about them that makes me recognize them as "collected by Denise".

Your kind-hearted soul, fun-loving personality, resilience, intelligence, down-to-earth attitude and wicked sense of humour shines through in everything you write here, and it was such a treat to discover that you are all that and much more in person too. And, as Angie mentioned, that signature twinkle in your eye (which is always there, both in online pictures and irl) makes me smile every single time.

Hope you are having a fantastic day filled with laughter and a yummy cake.

Happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday!
It was absolutely fantastic to meet you in September. You have awesome style.
I'm so much looking forward to see you again.

Awwww... thanks everyone! I'm going to try to come back and answer you individually but I need to decompress from the road. I am joining Mr. CocoLion in the city for a few days, he has a job here. I will take any excuse to "get out of Dodge" i.e. the boon docks and tumbleweeds, even though it is beautiful. There is a Nordstrom here so need I say more.

It was an unusually grueling drive as there was a fatal crash on the highway. I had to take a 1.5 hour detour, plus I was shaken by the fact that there was a fatal crash on my birthday, not far from home. There but for the Grace of God, go I.

Happy birthday Denise! It was such a pleasure to meet you in person last fall. You are all Angie said and more! I hope we can meet again in the future.
Wishing you the happy year ahead!
(I am so sorry to hear about this crash on your birthday - very sad. )

Oh Denise - I hope that you are having a really wonderful day! I cannot come up with anything to say that hasn't already been said about how your participation means soooo very much on the forum. I consider myself lucky to have met you and count you as one of my friends. Thank you for being so real - and, also for challenging me and delighting me in your every style endeavor! You rock!

Belated happy birthday, Denise! Love your style and your thoughtful comments!

Happy Birthday, dear Denise!

Late to the party, but still want to wish you a Happy Birthday! You are just as gorgeous in person as you are in the forum. It was so FAB to meet you last September. I always enjoy your posts and hope to see you at another meet-up in the future.

Happy happy on the day of your birth

Happy Birthday, Denise! It's always great to see your outfits and read your comments. Enjoy your day!
