An Award and some Blog Love

To my surprise I was very kindly given a blog award by The Silver Bunny.
After I sent off a reply to Silver Bunny to accept I remembered that last December I was also handed The Liebster Award which set off a Oops! am I being greedy moment, but I quickly decided to accept graciously in the manner with which SB bestowed the award. After reading through the stipulations I realised that perhaps I should have pasted the tag on my blog as an indication of being a previous recipient (which I may add I've tried to add to a gadget thingy with no luck).

So enough of my rambling and I shall plough full stem ahead and share some blog love.

The Silver Bunny is a new kid on the blogging block but already she is gaining a faithful following of readers revelling in her musings about life. I guarantee you will be entertained.

Liebster is a German word meaning "dearest" and the award is given to bloggers with fewer than 200 followers.

The award has a few stipulations:

1.  Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
2.  Reveal your five blogger picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3.  Copy and paste the award on your blog.
4.  Hope that people you have sent the award to forward it on to their favourite bloggers.

Here are the five blogs which I have chosen to nominate and I trust you will enjoy visiting these charming and entertaining blogs. I certainly do!

A Welsh Girl in Australia

Fifi's Fabulous Things

Red Phoenix Style

McCarthy Designs


The Distressed Mother


Quite co-incidentally these blogs are all winging their way to you from Australia  xx

An Award!

Liebster Blog Award! Thank you!

This is a lovely surprise!
Today I was awarded the Liebster Award from my dear blogger friend Jode from Life on the River.

It's my first blogging award, thank you Jode, you have made my day! I enjoy dropping into 'your life' 
and reading about your adventures in renovating and building and moving to a new town.

Now let me say, this was a lot harder than I imagined, only choosing five blogs. I was inclined to break the rules just a teensy bit and nominate more blogs but I figured I should stick to the directions or I might get into trouble.

Drop by and visit these enchanting ladies who never fail to put a smile on my face. 

Patricia, Mrs E, LR, Morgan and Val...hearts of gold!
