An Award...

First thing this morning I had an email from Carrie at Oak Rise Cottage bestowing a "You Make Me Smile Award." I'm so honored...I started this blog as kind of a journaling exercise, and even though it's a public forum, I was so surprised to see that people actually visit and read my ramblings. Thank you Carrie; I really appreciate your kindness.

I realize that I'm supposed to nominate 5 people for the award, but it's so hard to choose; there are so many talented women out there in blogland that amuse, inspire, and and influence me in some way. Here is but a small listing of my favorite almost-daily reading:

  1. The Inspired Room-Sweet Escapes (especially the current one) are wonderful!
  2. Cherry Hill Cottage-For home dec, recipes, and decorated letters from Mika.

  3. My Cozy Home-great writing, and she's a mystery lover!

  4. Notes from A Cottage Industry truly inspiring; Tracey's ideas are wonderful and she's so talented. Her weekly "words to live by" inspire...

  5. My Romantic Home - Cindy has a wonderful decorating style; her blog is always an interesting read.

  6. Daisy Cottage-I love this house...Kim has such a creative decorating style with bold colors and her pictures of Dear Daisy Cottage are exceptional.

  7. Chez Fifi- Good Fifi or Bad Fifi, she's always an interesting read. How does this woman do it?
  8. French Poppy-Nice art, good writing...a joy to read.

  9. The Feathered Nest-Manuela has a lovely blog with great photos...and a wonderful new screened porch.

  10. Hedgerow Hollow great fall photos from Canada

  11. Little Red House I love the book quotes Mary pulls from those old books. Very amusing! Her tour of her town was wonderful.
  12. The Decorated House - Donna has some gorgeous items in her Etsy shop; I love the Cottage Fairy and her Halloween items.

  13. Lavender Hill Studio-Penny creates beautiful cottage-y chic mosaics. Her blog and website are beautiful.

  14. Fresh Vintage-You must watch this woman's Vlog...not only does it make you smile...you actually laugh out loud! Her weekly yardsale/thrifting finds make me a bit jealous; we never have anything that good around here!

Thank you for the inspiration!
