Favorite Blogs!


Today, I thought I'd share some of my favorite blogs!  The ones I visit the most.   

Click on the logos to be taken directly to blogs!
First one is a friend of mine, I can't stay away from her blog and must know what she is up to!  She is one talented lady!

This next one was so much fun!  She blogged a collection a day for an entire year!  It ended now but still fun to go back through the days and see her collections!

Here is one that I can't figure out how she finds the time to blog!  Another talented and one busy lady!  Not only does she make her own beads, but now she has a line of fabrics and is opening her own B & M store!

Next is Valerie from Valerie's Gallery!  She is an amazing knitter and felter!  Another one I must see what she is up to!  Now, she got herself a spinning wheel!

Here is Marcy!  She makes the most amazing lampwork beads!


Michelle is a Vintage Junky!  Gotta love that!

Here is 1950's Atomic Ranch House!  *sigh* Can you say DROOL blog?  Wow.

Anyone ever watch those Flip This House shows and they come across the old houses from the 50's or 60's and say, EW, that tile has got to go or that kitchen needs to be totally destroyed?  It makes me cringe!  I would just love to have an entire house furnished with 50's and 60's items!  Take a look at this blog!

While at that blog, check out her Save the Pink Bathrooms blog!
Hope you've enjoyed some of the same blogs I do!  Now you know what I'm doing all day long
Have a great day!

For the Love of the Irish

If I were given a free ticket to fly anywhere in the world, I would choose Ireland. I've always been fascinated by this beautiful country. It is a mix of the soft and beautiful and the hard and difficult. I love the art, music, dance, and culture as well as the landscape and people.

So....as I was thinking of Ireland and St. Patrick's Day I did what I usually do, I did an Etsy search. This time for the artists of Ireland.
