I’ve decided to make a change on how I manage my links on the sidebar.
When I first started this blog I used my list of links more like my own personal favorites (like you have with your browser) rather than a way to share other sites with anyone visiting here. I have found that lately there are many blogs that I visit regularly that haven’t made it to my list – mostly because I’m too lazy to update it regularly.
I remember how thrilled and validated I felt the first time I saw my own blog listed on another blogger’s list of links. I must have gone to her site ten times a day just to see my little blog name in print. Imagine my chagrin when after about two days she removed it. Talk about deflated.
What I am going to do is list reciprocal links. If you give me the honor of listing my blog on your list of links then I want to return the favor.
The links listed now are the ones I know about – if you have me listed and you don’t see your blog listed please leave me a comment or drop me an email and I’ll add you. I find that I discover some great new blogs (to me anyway) from comments left here.
I have them broken out it categories that are pretty self-explanatory. Bon Vivants is where I put blogs like mine – that cover a multitude of topics. And look at Gourmands – poor Mimi must be pretty lonely out there, all by herself. If you have a food oriented blog let me know!
I think there are a ton of wonderful, lesser known blogs out there that we are missing out on. I’m hoping that this will shine a little light on them.
That’s great , I felt so thrilled and excited when I seen my name on someone’s list and I think I would feel that way too if I looked one day and it was gone . You are right there are a ton of blogs out there, that are just little blogs that don’t have ads and things and it’s just a mom at home talking to other moms out there . That’s why I did it ,since talking to the kids all day just isn’t the same as talking to other moms. oops sorry I got rambling on and wrote you a book . Have a good day ! ps. I won’t remove you ! haha
Hi Andrea, I would love to list your blog on my blog ~ I get behind too!! I now have over 200 that I keep up with in my bloglines and you are one of them!!! I need to add you to my links blog but I want you to tell me which category you’d like to be listed in ~ please just let me know, xxoo, Dawn
Hi Andrea, I really need to update my list, but you have always been on it, and will remain on it:>) I love my visits here!
You are on my list. I visit nearly every day. I’ll be back soon. ~Adrienne~
I have your blog linked on my sidebar, Andrea. I should have done it sooner, but I’m just accustomed to visiting Nicole, then linking to you and Sara and a bunch of others from her blog. I’m just lazy. But you’re in my sidebar now. I love your blog.
Hi Andrea,
I do hope you weren’t talking about me~~yours was one of the first blogs I found and have always enjoyed~~but after awhile my links became so diverse I decided to just have links that had something to do with Vintage Something. I still have my favorites in my PC and I love to see what you are up to!
All said~~I would be honored to add you as a link to The Red Velvet Shoe, & if you’ll have me over at Lebleulune then all the better. Just let me know. No matter, please come by and leave a comment for my Vintage Goodie Give~A~Way!

Oh please do not feel you have to list my blog, because I have listed you. Lists are sooo hard, There are days when I feel like pulling the whole list !!! But really I do not expect you to list me. Have a lovely day and I hope it is not to hot at your house. Clarice
Hi Andrea,
Thanks for the link to my blog first off. I found an amazing blog for your gourmand links. It is called Cream Puffs in Venice. I’m new at trying to link stuff, but if you go on my blog, it is in my side bar. You will get lost in all the beautiful photos of food!
Yak Sing was fun on mother’s day by the way. A bit crowded, as I guess everyone else thought it was a good idea as well. I’d like to go back when it isn’t as busy. We had a lot of fun though.

I just came over to catch up on your blog and saw this! I’ve been a fan of your blog for quite awhile. What a nice surprise to see my blog listed on your sidebar! Thank you, Andrea. It’s absolutely thrilling to see my link on one of my all time favorite blogs!
HOLY CRAP! My first time being named on another blog! Thank you , thank you, thank you. I love your blog, it’s the first I check every day!
Thank you for making my whole month!

Well, I have certainly enjoyed reading your blog this evening…I’d like to see what you do with the quilt class, as I am a quiltmaker. I hope you have a great time! Please consider adding my blog to your links……and I am adding you to mine immediately! I’ll be reading you again and again, I am sure. THANKS! Pat at birdnestontheground.blogspot.com
