An award and a fairy tale website

A big thank you to Marilyn and Elaineyross over at Guernsey Writer for awarding my blog the Very Inspiring Blogger Award.

I’m not sure the term ‘inspiring’ really applies to my blog, but I'm delighted to accept it nonetheless.

So, here are the rules;

Display the award logo on your blog.
Link back to the person who nominated you.
State 7 things about yourself.
Nominate other bloggers for this award and link to them.
Notify those bloggers of the nomination.

I’ve already talked far too much about myself so instead I’m going to include a quote from each of my nominated blogs. 

DM Yates Believe in Yourself  To be successful we all must ever move on, step by step. It's a New Year and time to let the past go. Set down your last year's baggage and march forward, ready to greet the new year.

The Desert Rocks The possibilities, the potential to change — everything begins with that first step in the right direction. Before your feet touch your slippers, carpet or cold floor, that’s when it begins. You have the power.

The Children's War And of course, the biggest and best Christmas present of all that year was the end of the war.

The Little Reader Library As for me, my dog Daisy is certainly my best friend. I had no idea what sort of special relationship an owner could have with a dog until she came into our lives. She is a constant companion, there for me as much as I am there for her.

Vintage Cobweb I think by now everyone knows I can't pass up the chance to pop inside an oppy, if I don't get inside one for a while I start to feel like something's missing.

These are all wonderful people with interesting things to say. Call in if you can you won’t be disappointed.

A Fairy Tale Website;

A friend of mine in Italy has just launched a brand-new website showcasing his ever growing collection of illustrated books.  The site is written in Italian, but with the help of Google translate it’s possible to understand everything, and of course, the illustrations need no translation. Please call in if you have the time http://www.favolefavole.com/index.html



Thanks for your visit.  x

    If that's not inspiring, Barbara, I don't know what is!! I particularly like the quote about leaving behind last year's baggage - we should all make the effort to do that. I'll definitely be having a look at that Italian website - and thanks for your lovely illustrations, as always. Kind regards, Marilyn

    Congrats on your award! I love your blog. I found 3 old looking postcards in my attic (from the previous owner) and I thought of you. :) I have been to most of the blogs you nominated- and I look forward to checking out the one I don't know. The fairy blog also looks fun. Thanks for sharing. :)
