Now I need to come up with something really insightful to justify it..... Nope, nothing coming. Must be stage fright.
It reminds me of a moment a few years ago, when someone was thanking me for a birthday present she had really enjoyed.
Her: 'You always manage to find the most amazing and thoughtful presents'.
Me: 'Oh, thanks'
Me (thinking): 'Oh s****, no pressure next time then'
What an ungrateful person I am - just can't accept a compliment gracefully!
But sometimes I do get the gift just right. Like this little present I bought our hallway last week.
These wonderful prints (badly framed with no mats yet - sorry) came from A to Z. Their etsy shop has lots of goodies in. And I am getting so much pleasure from the fact that I 'know' the creator.
Now I think I'm meant to nominate 5 other blogs which make me think. But I'm coming to this party a bit late and heaps of you folks I really love have already been nominated. So instead, a challenge. To find 5 new blogs for yourself and see if any of them make you think.
If you're feeling lazy, the 5 newest subscriptions on my bloglines feed are:
cloth paper string
string theory
Finny knits
The Cottage Nest
Cupcakes for Clara

I love Cupcakes for Clara's work, it is amazing. The others are new to me so, being lazy will look at them first. I'm enjoying scentofwater.wordpress.com at the moment.

congrats on your thinking award and thank you for passing the baton on to me:) so so sweet.
i can totally relate to your "accepting compliments gracefully" thing...i have the same problem. lots of shifting...face turning red....and looking around. awkward. very awkward. actually i think i'm doing it right now:)
