inIn May of 2008 I excitedly sent several friends a list of my favorite blogs.
It was incredible… this wealth of ideas and images, all at your fingertips.
After a year of inspiration I started my own. A little more than six months later
I’ve reached my 200th post, and am so grateful for all the encouragement I’ve
received from fellow bloggers and readers. I specifically wanted to acknowledge
and thank some of the “Grande Dames” of the blogging world who could easily
have been far too busy, but took the time to comment and encourage and put
me on their blog list. Cote de Texas, Paris Apartment, Designer’s Block
and Country French Antiques were at the top of that very first blog list,
French Blue and Velvet and Linen added on a few months later when they
started their blogs. In what I promise will be a rare self-aggrandizing stunt,
the following are some of the wonderful comments I’ve treasured from this
esteemed and benevolent “old guard”.
“Well, there’s this beautiful blog Trouvais. And she has a hedge of Lavender in her backyard.
It’s the most gorgeous…at first I thought it was from France. It’s her back yard and she harvests
her lavender and has this huge bucket, European bucket. And she puts her lavender in it on her
mantle piece. It’s the most gorgeous thing you’ve ever seen.”
Joni from Cote de Texas at The Skirted Roundtable
Thank goodness you have a pause feature on the SRT, Joni. I had
to transcribe every glorious word …we need to see how much lavender
we can squeeze into your yard next spring.
Wow. Don’t you have a beautiful blog!
That bed with the painting behind it is gorgeous. xo Brooke
I do believe that I love everything that you love:
Rococo, antique clock faces, barometers. That fantastic bird cage.
