with a little help from my friends…
Posted in artists, handmade July 9th, 2008 by piablog

I have been holding a basket full of thank you’s for a month or more and it is now overflowing – it’s time to dish out.

I have only just learnt that my dashboard on wordpress actually tells me when another blog has mentioned me in one of their posts. wow! technology! It never ceases to amaze me. There have been many of you mentioning me lately and I can’t tell you how wonderful this makes me feel to hear that I inspire you. So to each of you first, I say…

I treasure my blogroll and I keep each of you there in sight to share with everyone as well as so I can come visit anytime I like for an inspiration hit. So to my new readers, please visit my blogroll regularly, each blog in there is special to me. I always strive to add to the blogroll when I am able to visit the blogs from new commenters, so it is worth checking my blogroll regularly, even if I haven’t had a chance to post about new blogs and new friends, no doubt there will always be someone new there to inspire you too.

Here are a few new friends I’ve made lately…

Loobylu. What a champ is the loobylu creator, Claire – she added me to her June links and wow, I received a whole heap of new readers thanks to her! So hi loobylu readers, thank you for stopping by! I do hope you like it here.

Check out Claire’s etsy shop, it’s packed with great things, she is one incredibly creative gal! Thanks Claire, you rock. Hope you are having a fabulous time in Canada.

The Shutter Sisters: An incredible and inspiring photo blog, please go and have a look, it is fabulous.

Thank you girls for mentioning my blog and the My Heart Wanders project on your blog.

Stylist Kim Gray from South Africa.

It is so rare to make friends with fellow stylists – just like in the movie Devil Wears Prada, this is not the most nurturing industry to be in. But I am lucky to have a few great stylist friends who are genuine, kind, and beautiful, scattered around the world – and Kim is now one of them. She has a great blog full of the things that inspire her, and it is choc full of her latest work. So go and check out her blog and say hi from me. Thanks Kim!

All Things Bright and Beautiful and Liberty Post, thank you for your beautiful words recently. Both your posts were so touching.

A Cup of Jo. Who not only inspires us everyday with her great finds and introduces us to her fabulous family, but has also included me a couple of times in her blog post round ups! It seems Joanna has fallen in love with le petit bateau, and also loves the soundscapes. Thanks for sharing my posts with your readers Joanna! xx

………………………………………………………

And last but not least, is Sherrie from Frenchy Finds. Sherrie makes the most divine soap – she has an esty boutique called Birch Bark Soaps, and she recently featured me amongst her favourite blogs when she was an etsy featured seller. Not only that ,she sent me some soaps to try out and now I am hooked! I have just finished using the peppermint poppyseed soap and it is simply divine. Go and stock up your soaps at Birch Bark, i promise you will not be disappointed! Thanks Sherrie.

………………………………………………………

Thanks everyone. For your comments. Your encouragment. and your friendship.

I have to get going to gather some props and check on a set, but I’ll be back very soon. à bientot xx
