What a wonderful surprise to find that Christie from Serenity Now, has bestowed upon little old me the "You Make My Day" award! Don't know what I did to deserve such attention, but those of you that are familiar with me know that I will take any opportunity to bask in the glow of the spotlight... So THANK YOU, Christie!
For those of you that have not yet taken a 'trip' to Serenity Now, you don't know what you're missing. Christie manages to keep the freshest blog on the planet, always brimming with the new and unusual, everything you didn't know you wanted to know, but are so glad you finally found out. She has a serious love of the curiosities out there and is proud to show off the 'finds of the day' which come from far and wide and are predictably unpredictable. It is the blog to see, and Christie is the 'go to' source for the shoppe mystere.... and bonus! She's a really nice person!
Please take the time to visit the sites I have chosen to recognize with a "YOU MAKE MY DAY" award. Each offers something unique and fun, and all are different from each other. Tracy of Hey Harriet, is from the Land Down Under and is one of my favorite Sheilas ever (hope that was an Austrailian compliment, Tracy....l'm trying not to mention Men at Work and tick you off), then there's Charmaine of High Desert Diva, a designer relocated to the desert (hence the name....ever so clever is she) and Sadie (isn't that the cutest alias ever?) from Serendipity Vintage Furnishings, a darling store located in Salem, Oregon and stuffed full of fabulous finds. (Are you guys drooling that live too far away to visit?) Tammy Fischer of the Tammy Fischer, Self proclaimed ramblings.... is a fabulous artist who manages to do two things among many, that I can't....solder and sew! And oh boy does she knock out the fabulous creations... Then there's Joy of The Vintage Rabbit. One look at her blog and all of you that love bunny images will be nuts about her banner, and everything to follow.
Christie, Tracy, and Charmaine, Sadie, Tammy and Joy are all super talented, wonderful women who are such fun to read and really "Make My Day".....and I know they'll make yours, too! Please visit them and leave a comment to honor their hard work. Just click on the links below!
