Angie, it is hard to think of what I can add to what has already been said, other than to agree with them all! I came here for the creative stretching and growing in the fashion department, but I have stayed because of the warmth and kindness that is led by your example. Thank you for never losing sight of the people within the fashion and for reminding us to do the same. I hope that this birthday is as wonderful as you deserve!

Happy Birthday, Angie! Suz was so kind and thoughtful to start this thread, and so many wonderful things have already been mentioned. What strikes me the most (aside from your gift for fashion) is your kind, welcoming manner. I am thankful to be a part of this forum, and to so quickly count you a friend. Enjoy and be spoiled - you deserve it

Dearest Angie,
Hope you are having a wonderful day!

When I started here, you were in your thirties and I was in my forties. Looking forward to many more wonderful years of benefiting from your wisdom and advice, Angie!

You exude kindness, vision, passion, and style. Have the happiest of birthdays.

Oh have a Wonderful Wonderful Birthday, Angie! Woman of grace in all ways, you are so caring and encouraging and, I think, I must add brave this year. To have moved so many places around the world, have a business, be in the public eye, and deal with *all sorts* (that would be me, ;)) and be so full of heart... a strong woman of grace indeed! All happiness on your birthday, Angie!

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day!

Thank you so much for all you do for us Angie! You are truly a blessing and a light in our days. May you have an incredibly blessed and happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Angie! Never in a million years did I think I would become addicted to a fashion forum, but this place is extraordinary, and Suz and others are absolutely right that it is because you set the tone and continually reinforce it with your unique, amazing energy. I so admire your style and grace, obviously, but also your ability to express strong opinions in a kind, thoughtful, intelligent and compassionate manner. I have learned so much here.

Sweet tribute (thank you Suz!) for a beautiful lady inside and out!
Thank you Angie for giving so very generously of yourself! xoxo

Happy Birthday dearest Angie! Suz and the other members have said it all so wonderfully. I swear, your personal glow is brighter than any candle on your birthday cake!

Happy birthday!!

*eyes watering*

Suz, THANK YOU. Your grace and generosity of spirit knows no bounds.

WOW.

Ladies, I am absolutely humbled by your beautiful wishes and words. It will take me a while to collect myself and express my feelings properly. Much love and hugs to all of you in the meantime. xo

Happy birthday, Angie!!!!!!! I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Like so many others, I came here for the fashion but I stayed for the people, and you are a HUGE part of what makes this community amazing. I think we all live by your example of kindness, grace, warmth, and joy.

So excited to hug you again in a few days!!!!!!

Suz, I'm so sorry I didn't see this earlier! I just poured out all my birthday blessings for Angie on her blog post. Ooop!

Happy Birthday again Angie, and many happy returns! xxoxox

Happy birthday, Angie, and many happy returns! Loved how elegant and poised you were in dress and speech on your special day.

Happy Birthday from me too, filled with so much gratitude for how you have changed my life!

Suz thanks for clearing that up for me! I was worried I had missed Angie's Birthday. I don't get time to read everything on YLF forum & sometimes even forget to check my calendar & could have easily missed it. I just happened to be on at the right time to see your post.

Happy Birthday, Angie! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Angie, Thank You for being You and There for Us – I'm most thankful. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Angie!
I came here looking for a dress and found so much more. Angie your compassion and generosity are endless and inspire all of us to be our best.
Love you to pieces and can't wait to see you in the fall.

Happy, Happy Birthday
Wishing you a wonderful day x

Happy Birthday Angie!

I came to say happy birthday and as I thought of you, the words to this song came to mind. I KNOW you are too young for it but what the heck...

Well she's all you'd ever want,
She's the kind they'd like to flaunt and take to dinner.
Well she always knows her place.
She's got style, she's got grace, She's a winner.
She's a Lady.

Happy birthday Angie

HAPPY happy birthday, my dear Angie!! As has been so eloquently said above, you truly are a wonderfully sweet, special, and amazing person. It has been a wholly enriching experience being part of the YLF community the last several years, and I thank you dearly for that <3

Wow.

THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH.

I am very humbled and choking up. Your awfully kind words and good wishes have made this day even MORE beautiful.

It's sunny and hot in Seattle - just what I like (Greg ordered the weather for me too). I was on the phone and on Skype most of the morning with friends and family. Divine. We then went off to Alki beach for fish 'n chips - which we would have done with the girls, so it was very comforting to us. The weather is spectacular. After that was gelato and specs shopping for Greg in Fremont. So fun. And we are about to get together with dear friends and head out to Bar Del Corso. It's been a stunningly fabulous day. Tomorrow I'm at Nordies to preselect at 8am.

Thanks again, and much love to all of you. Your generous spirit gives me endless energy and joy. xo
