Thankyou to the lovely Edwina and her awesome blog http://reretro.wordpress.com
for passing on this inspiring recommendation.
Edwina is a passionate collector and seller of thoughtful, quirky, kitschy, artful nostalgia.
And she really knows her stuff. Bakelite, ceramics, metals, vintage photographic equipment to name a few categories.
Please have a look. Cheers re:retro.
In the words of Ned Flanders:
Well get out the crayolas and colour me Tickled Pink!
So in order to receive this honour, gloat gloat, bowing majestically to imaginary audience, I am to reveal 7 [random] facts about myself and nominate up to 15 blogs I feel worthy of a One Lovely Blog Award.
So here its goes…
1. I once thought Dr Zhivago was a Bond film.
2. I leave cupboard doors open a lot and don’t know why. It even pisses me off.
3 . My house is quite minimal. But my built-ins are maxed out.
4. I often buy clothes for the label. But not how you would think.
5. I vomitted at Stonehenge. Monumental hangover. That was not a sight worth seeing. I scared a family in their car.
6. I do Bikram yoga 2-3 times a week. It keeps me sane.
7. I write 3 pages of junk almost everyday. Its like a mental download.
And because I can’t decide which extra point to eliminate [yes, probably the puke story should go…]
here’s a bonus because I like to give free stuff.
7b. I used to paint pictures from my travel photos. I would like to go back to it. [Travelling and painting]
But wait there’s more…
7c. I loathe curling ribbon. Such an ugly waste of energy going on and off.
And so without much further ado [about nothing] may I present some other Lovely Blogs…
I don’t have much time for blog surfing, so I am sure some of my favourites have probably been previously awarded. Even so, they deserve another mention being as awesome as they are.
PS: If you know of any cool ones I’d really love for you to let me know via comments. I need all the inspiration I can get and its great to share the love.
Thanks. Smiling and waving.

# 2 – hilarious!!
Thanks Alex. I was going to put you on my list but I noticed you had the logo on your page already. Your rainbow efforts are outstanding. That first cake killed me. And thanks for helping me discover craft fail, that was you wasnt it?. Classic. Have you seen regretsy cheers.
You know that leaving cupboard doors open thing (2.)…it’s not your fault…you inherited from Mum, and it pisses me off too. x
Well thanks, I think… At least you’ve given me some closure [he he / groan]. Nice of you to drop by sister.
Puking at stonehenge just about did me in! My back hurts from laughter. What a great little tidbit. 🙂 I have to say I loved your seven things… a little insight into the fabulous Sandy. And then you hit me with the art! Oh my goodness… stop a girl in her tracks why don’t you. LOVE LOVE LOVE your painting. Amazing secret talent that you MUST share more of. At least I would love it!!
Thanks for including me on you list. Allowing me to be a small part of your fabulous blog is wonderful. 🙂
Thanks Stacey, you are always good for a boost. Too nice. Thank you. I have been thinking of posting my artwork for a while, but a bit shy, I’m not so good at self promotion hence the puke reference etc. So thanks again for your kind words. I’d do that smiley face back at you but I don’t know how.
lovely rap – thanks sandy- you are most kind. i also love the venice painting…you MUST post more.
You’re welcome. And thanks Edwina, so much. Re the painting, I will I think, I guess I should put myself out there more rather than hide behind sick jokes… cheers.
Hi I have come over from agoodehouse! I really like the photography on your blog! I’m following too, pleased to meet you!
HI Pippa and welcome. Thanks very much. I’m pleased you found me as I really like your blog too. Very cool indeed. Yay for shared interests, cactuses included! Cheers.
Thanks so much Sandy! I am so flattered to be included in your list.
Your painting is fantastic! You certainly must post more….even if they are accompanied by sick jokes. 🙂
Hey thanks Mandy. Glad you liked the painting, I will get around to putting up more, everyone has been so supportive. Cheers.
