A Versatile Award

 

Lookit what I found lying around in my Google Reader!  Lil’ ol’ me has been given the Versatile Blogger Award!  w00t!

~ * The rules of the award are as follows * ~

1. Thank and link the blogger who awarded you.
2. Share seven random facts about yourself.
3. Spread the love by passing the award to five other bloggers, and be sure to let them know.

So, first up, thank you Bunny for passing on this award to Depict This!  Bunny Moreno, from The Musings and Adventures of Pinup Mama, is a darling “Vintage Mama and Homemaker Extraordinaire” like myself.    Do yourself a favour and check out her blog, she is super sweet and nice. : )

~ *  Seven Random Facts About Me  * ~

1.  Despite loving just about everything from the 1940s and 1950s, I actually really, really, really dislike the furniture and decor from that period. I think it is UGLY…  I much prefer decor and furniture from the 1800s or early 1900s.  You know, all polished, carved wood, cast iron, brass, gilt overlay and that kind of stuff.  Mmm, pretty.   

2.  I am going to steal one idea from Bunny and say ~ I always eat my desserts with a small spoon, but my breakfast with a large spoon.  How random is that?  What’s even stranger is that the Husband does the opposite to me and we both think that the other is the weird one….

3.  We all know that I am a shoeholic, but what you might not know it that I am simply a collectorholic in general.  In fact, if I am not careful I will end up on that tv show hoarders one of these days…  Not because my collections are messy and everywhere, just because I collect, well, just about everything!  Stamps, books, shoes, hats, handbags, gloves, pearl jewellery, vintage jewellery, patterns, fabric, wool, art supplies, teapots, teacups, old silver spoons, silverware, sea shells, postcards, funny shaped salt and pepper shakers ~ you get the picture right?

4.  Whenever I watch BBC’s Pride and Prejudice, or read my Regency romance novels {Georgette Heyer is a fantastic authoress if you are looking for something to read besides Jane Austin}, I ALWAYS, without fail, start speaking like someone from that period, faux British accent and all.  > . >’

5.  I hated being pregnant.  Like, really truly hated.  But I absolutely love being a mother and wouldn’t trade it for the world!

6.  I like doing crosswords and have a few sitting on my desk that I work on bit by bit.  I think it’s a writing thing, but I love words and learning new one through crosswords is so fun!

7.  Lastly, for the grand finale{as contributed by the Husband}:  I don’t like honey.  He thinks it’s the craziest thing ever, but it’s true. I don’t much like overly sweet things anyway and honey is pretty much at the top of the list.  Although I will have a Honey-Lemon-Ginger drink as it is the perfect thing for chasing away colds and sore throats.

~ *  Passing the award on to * ~

1.  Esme and the Laneway:  This lovely lady is always inspiring me with her gorgeous style and colours. Her vintage outfits vary from modern-ish, to very traditional, but they are always sweet.   

2.  Give Me Bows:  Elyse has the prettiest frocks to wear and bows!!  Lots and lots of bows; so naturally I adore her blog!  Okay, so I might have an ineesy-wincy girl crush happening here… ᵔᴗᵔ

3.  Land Girl 1980:  Land Girl has a great sense of humour, and some great in depth posts.  Also, if you like book reviews, you can check some out on her blog. 

4.  Annie Pancake and The Time Machine:  Annie is cute, gorgeous and a lovely vintage gal.  She has great style and some really helpful tips on her blog, plus some awesome videos to watch.   

5.  Scathingly Brilliant:  I love Kate Gabrielle’s style, it’s really sweet and romantic, plus she’s a great artist, and she has cats!  A gal after my own heart in pastels and pretty dresses. 

I hope everyone has a great day like I am having!  ~(=^･ω･^)ﾉ  *waves*
