My Notting Hill.....

I am a huge pushover....
and 
so vulnerable to flattery....
and 
hang on any compliment....
and 
completely surprised
to see my blog listed
 on
 Michele's
 granting me a
 Stylish Blogger Award.


Did I say OMG!?
No...
What I actually said,
I wouldn't usually print here....so I won't ...
(I know you are glad)

This award
  requires you to share 7 things about yourself
 and award some recently discovered bloggers. 
(Some of these are not so recently discovered, but I believe you will enjoy them all!)

1. I think....or have assumed that I am/was a Leo.....with recent developments, I am unsure.
But I still act like one, and my sweetie is one too....roar!
2.  I have never had musical training, but love music and will listen to the local classical channel for hours on end, if given the opportunity.
3. I know a bit about art history, architecture and Greek mythology, as I devoured books on 
all of this when I was a adolescent.
4.  I covet camera equipment. Really. I drool when I read about another blogger's newly acquired 
piece of equipment. And, quickly pull it up on B&H photo's site, to see how long it will take 
me to acquire one.... 
5.  I buy junk (or junque ;-)) and sell most of it on Etsy. Some things I simple cannot part with.
I have a soft spot for things; 
that I might have seen in my grandmother's house, are of 1960's vintage, or are
modern in design.
6. I fancy myself a dancer, but dread an upcoming May wedding that will require dancing 
on my part...yipes!
7. I am addicted to Diet Coke, and am constantly shocked to find several empty cans
on my desk....is there a 12-step program for this?

Whew!
I am quite sure that is just about all you want to know about me....
so here are some interesting people that might 
just tweek your fancy.....smiles

  6. Congrats on the award and thanks so much for passing it on to me.

    I'm a Diet Coke Junkie too-- One Coke Zero (with caffeine) in the morning then caffeine free the rest of the day. I've tried and tried to give it but but no luck.

    Have a great week, jj
