May I Present...

Pah, it's still raining here. And I can feel myself getting more despondent by the minute. Can that really be it for our summer? Surely not.

So it's a very good job that sweet Zoe from the excellent
Conversation Pieces, stepped in with a pair of very cheering awards. Phew. Thank you Zoe, you're very kind and I think I might be blushing.



This is the sun, to serve as a reminder, to myself mostly. It's from But Where Is The Green Parrot? A lovely book by Thomas & Wanda Zacharias.

So without further ado, here they are -





I'd like to pass them on to these nice blogs that have me in turn captivated and enthralled.

Found, Now Home - Leigh shares a love of vintage, she finds wonderful things, I mean really wonderful things. I'd like to go thrifting with her, oh yes.

gemma correll and her merry band of misfits - Lots to love here, fun, crazy, mad illustrations, I think she's very clever.

Hello Mr Fox - Aside from the amazingly good name, Hannah has wonderful vintage sensibilities and a very good eye.

Hiccupings - Go here to see beautiful textiles, new and old and riotous unabashed colour, all very well curated by Natalie. (Who is also very nice).


Le blog de Stephanie - Elegant musings, pretty craft and vintage fashion.

Lastly, Oh, French - Pearls, lace, braids and lovely ethereal photographs - what's not to like?

Hope you find something new to read, love and enthrall.

Much deserved awards for you! I love your blog. I also can't wait to check out these other. I love Leigh's and she is the one who told me about you so now I can go look at these others and I bet I find something good ;)
I hope your rain goes away. I think it will. We had overcast and cool for weeks and now it is hot hot hot. Perhaps it will flow your way soon.
