award

very kindly, hiki of jollygoo has passed the lovely blog award my way. i'm feeling very honoured - her blog (and her shop!) is so full of inspiration, thank you so much hiki!

i would like to pass the award on to a number of people for writing blogs that often make my day, that i go back to time and again to be surprised, inspired or challenged.

there are many more, so making a choice is tough and i'm sure, as i'm typing this, that as soon as i've posted this i'll wonder how on earth i could not have mentioned tons of others. but i've already taken far too long to think about this, so here goes, the lovely blog award goes to:

april of picnic

polly of sotto voce

b of cuttings on a blog

julie of moments of perfect clarity

kristina of vigdis et al.

lea of lea bolvig

brinja of brinja

thank you so much, all! please pass the award on to others if you like.

passing it on

after some serious list-making and lots of thinking there was no avoiding the fact that i had to finally make a decision. who to pass that lovely award on to, that is. i wish i could send it over to more of you - i love reading all your posts and being inspired by them!

well, here goes:

jane at spain daily - for intriguing me with her everyday stories and thoughts from spain and for taking me on for the corner view journey. thank you so much!

jeannette at sans soucis - for her stories about potsdam, france, flea markets and gardens and her oh-so-lovely still-life arrangements. bedankt!

marie-eve at toujours dimanche - for sharing the vision of her very own bakery-cum-café and how it is becoming a reality. so inspiring to see people who follow their dreams!

chiara at minimal chronicles - for taking the trouble to translate some of her wonderful italian recipes from cronache minime into english and sharing her gorgeous food photography. (and for being the first one ever to have commented on this blog when i hadn't even posted a proper story yet!)

a big thank you to all of you! -

and to jo at simple pleasure, who started this by giving the award to me in the first place. tausend dank!
