Threaded Comments – I love having the ability to respond to your comments right away. Sometimes we even get a conversation going! It’s like you are right here in the room with me and we’re having a cup of tea or, in my case, hot chocolate and we’re having the nicest chat. Yay!
My new Facebook Page – Much to my surprise, I’m already enjoying the FB page and the dialogue that’s happening there. Who knew? I have a love/hate thing going with Facebook. I have a personal page and I usually check in on FB once a day, if only to say happy birthday to one of my friends. Since a lot of my friends are theater friends or former students, many of whom don’t even know I have a blog, my identity there has always been blog-free. (Every once in a while, Don would post something about my blog being featured in a magazine, but really, that was the extent of it.)
The new page is fun! Drop by, if you have a chance. Here’s the link. I hate the word ‘like’ in conjunction with the page, but when in Rome….
If you are inclined to like the page, please do!
These rather new-to-me blogs:
Going Home to Roost – Wonderful photography, projects, recipes, diy, you name it – all shared by the author, Bonnie.
A Cup of Jo – Written by Joanna Goddard who lives in NYC, it’s full of great information.
My Heart’s Song – Geneva and her husband moved out of their big suburban house and renovated a double-wide mobile home (what is now called a manufactured home.) The results are amazing. I admit to a huge fascination with this movement. Don and I would love to be debt-free someday, though it seems like an impossible dream at the moment, and I’m fascinated with the idea of buying one of these and putting our own stamp on it.
Scouting NY -If you love NYC, as I do, this blog, written by a movie location scout, will be absolutely fascinating. There’s so much history here. I’ve got Don hooked on it, too.
Head Butler – One of my favorite writers, Jessie Kornbluth, writes this blog. His aim is to be sort of a ‘cultural concierge’ and he writes about books, movies, music and life. Consequently, I discover all sorts of wonderful things I might not know of otherwise.
These e-Magazines:
Heart and Home magazine – This magazine is published via Great Britain. Love it.
Covet Garden – My absolute favorite. This is a Canadian publication. What I love about it is that it spotlights one person/family/couple and the way they live. The design is usually quirky, not too staged and the interviews are lengthy. One of my pet peeves about decorating magazines is that often the information about the people living in a space is way too short. The other is that sometimes a certain object or room is referred to, let’s say a vintage stove, yet there is no photo of it. Covet Garden, bless them, does it differently. And better.
And these:
More yarn arrived yesterday. That means more scarves for the Etsy shop!
This book. Oh my! I’m reviewing it on Monday.
I’ll be back at 8:00 pm EST for A Favorite Thing. See you then.
Happy Friday.
Claudia…thank you for leaving a comment on my blog, and thank you for including me in your “these rather new to me bogs” How nice of you! I can only imagine the stamp you could put on a mfg home…”:o)
I don’t know, Geneva. You’ve set the bar pretty high!
Claudia, I am on an IPAD which makes it hard to do some things. Mr. M left his work one for me today. I don’t do facebook, but I thought I was still following your blog. Am I linked to your old one because you are coming up in my reader? I don’t see me on your sidebar. I have yet to get another blog email. My other one someone tried to send me a virus, etc. I need to get one, but I thought I would wait till I’m back full force blogging so the hackers will stay at bay. Some people need to get a life!
All of this technical stuff is a bit much for me, but I try. And thank you for your thoughts on what is going on with blogger. I don’t like it one bit. Not one bit.
On a happier note, I just read the last post, and I will go leave a comment. That is so neat about your friend. I need to check out her blog and the others.
XO,
Sheila
I just wonder if my posts are counting as hits on your blog or how to make them count as hits. I try and visit you every time you post. I click on you from my blogger dashboard. Does that count? If not, help me figure out how to make it count for you.
As long as you click on the blog, it should count, Sheila. You may be linked to my old one but if the new posts are showing, everything should be fine. If not, just re-enter the URL and everything should correct itself. Let me check my sidebar and make sure you are there! I have a new plugin for blog updates and I just might have inadvertently left some blogs off.
Your pile of yarn is so beautiful! I LOVE my scarf that I bought from you!
LIKE your facebook!! But of course!
xxo
Thanks, Becky!
Well you have left me with some good stuff to read. Thanks!!
Happy day!!!
XO Kris

Brenda
Enjoy!
A fresh pile of yarn is always a good thing… :) The book looks like fun too. So, other than the leaves it’s gonna be a great weekend! :D
Yes. I just raked some leaves – left them in piles, of course, because my arms are tired!
I’ve just sent the Scouting NY link on to my set designer SIL. He’ll love it! Thanks.
Yay!
Looking forward to checking out some of the links! Thanks!
You’re welcome, Jacqueline.
Love the new yarns! Can’t wait to see them done up into scarves.
Me, too. Oh, does that mean I have MAKE them?
Dear Claudia,

I just saw your comment on the page, Dorthe. Thanks for visiting!
New yarns and a book..Sounds like a cozy weekend..
Hopefully!
You always share the good stuff! Thanks!!!
LIfe is good.♥ Thank you for the links, Claudia. I will visit.
Well, I’m feeling redeemed. After missing two weeks of A Favorite Thing, I’ve visited and commented on every link, including BJ ~ who made me cry! Thanks for hosting this party Claudia ~ it’s special. xo
That yarn is so beautiful, Claudia! I can see all your wonderful scarves in my mind just looking at it. And that book cover made me smile. We had Boston Terriers when I was a child. In fact my great grandparents bred them for a time and I have the most wonderful photo of my grandmother holding one under each arm. Thank you so much for pointing out those lovely blogs. It really does become a labyrinth of good fortune to click and follow and then click and follow some more. Take care.
