now that i've got my gears turning again, i thought i'd pop back on for another post or two today. plus, i'm taking any excuse possible right now to take a break from photo editing. my eyes! they are fried.
on the topic of blogs- i was wondering- would you share some of your favorites with me? this probably completely contradicts what i said earlier about stepping away from the internet and all, but- i must admit- i do love it when i come across a new blog that is full of inspiration, beautiful pictures, wonderful writing, funny stories and happiness. i recently tidied up my bloglines a bit, and now i've got a little room for some newbies. so please share with me!
i will share with you a few of mine in a new category that i am going to introduce here shortly, which is yet to be named-- i swear i am really just typing this out as i am thinking it (how's that for being prepared). but i thought it would be fun to share our juicy little online reads with one another. you know, the ones that you see in the list that you click on first. i want to know about those. ok? :)
they could be crafty, lifestyle, design, decor, food, fashion, whatever. i love it all.
and on a totally different note, i just came across this:
how lovely is that?! those folks are giving one of those bad boys away- so if you're not interested in it for yourself, will you do me a favor and click on the link for me? thanks!!!
now get to sharin' your fave blogs!!! xo
Love, love, LOVE this blog:

yup. I'm with the gal above. Soulemama is a fave. Also, Blue Yonder and the Pioneer Woman.
Also, curious when you're thinking of doing that shop update. I've been thinking about that dress all day ;)

this one you may have heard of, as it spread like wildfire a few months ago. I'd recommend going back and reading from the beginning, it's worth it!

this guy is the same age as me, so his life perspective gels with mine, though we live in totally different worlds. i find that it doesn't matter what he's talking about, i like listening to him. he doesn't post very often, so it's not burdensome to poke around the older video blogs.

Hi Jenny. It's millie, the baker's wife (over here in Cville). I have to point you towards my sister's blog, www.thelittleredhen.typepad.com.
I hope you like it. She's amazing and blogs about knitting, quilting, growing her own food, spinning, canning, and spending time with her kids.

Great blogs mentioned above! Although I might be a bit biased, I think my husband's blog is a pretty good one. : )
www.redneckmodern.com chronicles the renovation of a midcentury modern home in California by a couple of kids from Roanoke, VA.
