Vintage Birthdays: 3/18-3/24

I took a week off from Vintage Birthdays to celebrate my own! My sister Joanna visited and we had a great time. We thrifted our butts off and she did some modeling, just like old times. It was a pretty awesome visit. But she's back at college now and the show must go on. Here's some vintage birthdays to cheer you up. I mean, me. ;)
