our pretty tangled web
hey guys, happy thursday. i’m in a mellow mood and messing around instead of working (aka: blogging). seems like i never get a chance to check out my blog stats lately to see who’s coming and going, linking and and leaving those beautiful comments. tonight i went to see what was up and what i got was pure bliss! below are some who passed thru in the last 24 hours. it’s the ultimate mismash of marvelous magic and infinite inspiration! thank you for coming by, i could do this all night!
some of these are incoming links
or blogs i get via rss
or friends who stopped by
whathappensnext.typepad.com/what_happens_next or started inspiration mondays
beauty-of-decay.com via parishotelboutique.blogspot.com
suffice it to say i lost track. thank you all for flying by and tossing sparkle!
Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.

Hi Claudia!
I haven’t commented in a while, but rest assured, I always read your blog. I’m catching up on your posts. First of all, Vignettes is one of my favorites shops in the world. I love Lori and everyone who works there. I so wish I could have been there when you were. Isn’t it a fabulous place?
I do have a dollhouse that I am in the process of restoring. I loved your post on the competition.
Thanks so much for all the beauty you show us.

The amount of beauty that passes through these blogs just amazes me. I completely understand and fall down the rabbit hole often myself.
And…the chair and sofa frames…oh, my! I’ll be thinking about what I’d do with them all day!
