New and noteworthy

When my entry for the day doesn’t have a theme I never know what type of picture I should post.  I love pictures in blogs.  It’s why I like magazines so much.  I’m very much a visual person.  I have a hard time picturing something in my mind.  I need it spelled out for me. 

Today you get total randomness:

Three of my sisters and me waiting to board an airplane in Buenos Aires?  I think Buenos Aires.  Guess which one I am?  Yep.  The tormented one.  My sister Mary looks to be the tomentor but I actually think she is trying to comfort me.   My bet is on Kate who has kind of a sly smile going on.  Nicole looks like she would rather be a bobillion miles away from us.  As this is a black and white photo you can’t tell that my mother has dressed the three younger (and more easily persuaded) ones in matching plaid skirts and red jackets.  I think my mother had this notion that traveling children need to wear red jackets.   I think the real reason for my dismay is the goofy criss crossing of my skirt’s suspenders.  I remember hating that.  It just seemed so babyish that I couldn’t wear them like my older sisters.

Or maybe it’s the bangs.

Anyway – this is so not the point of this entry.  Let’s move on.

Every blog listed to the right is wonderful and noteworthy and visited by me daily.  I’m rather new to this whole blogging business but I get immense enjoyment out of reading my list of favorites here.  If you are on my list and reading this ~ Thank you.  And if you aren’t on the list it’s probably because I don’t know you have one – leave a comment with your link so I can check you out.

I did want to point out a couple of new additions to the list.

The Girl Who Ate Everything ~ I love how photorific her blog is.  Makes me want more and more pictures in my own (of course it would help if I could take decent pictures).  Her blog also makes me want to eat baguettes with creamy camembert cheese.  It also makes me wish I was 20 and living in Paris.

Posy ~ She’s very crafty and her decorating style is the Cath Kidston, Rachel Ashwell type of style that I strive for but always end up looking like I’m trying too hard.  She makes it look so effortless and just the way things evolved (which is actually probably exactly how it works at her house).  It would also appear that she has MY garden.  Well the one in my head anyway.

Bailiwick ~ Another clever, crafty sort.  I love her photography – especially this picture – why don’t my pictures look like that?  I love the pictures of the materials she uses in her projects.  And if you check out her 9/29 post you can see a montage of some of her finished items.  Gorgeous.

Thank you all for the inspiration and the eye candy.
