This post was found in my draft box (not the first time). With all these beautiful posts so worth sharing, it would have been tragic for this to not post, which worked out like a charm given that I did not have ample time to prepare my late musings post for this week.......so enjoy!
Here is the lucky winner for the wonderful Judith August set. Congrats goes to.....
Those
vanity jars are to die for! I know I cannot afford them, though. Lots
of lovely things here. I am excited to learn about Judith August; I had
not known about her products before. I would love to win the Killer
Cover Kit but I also really like the Everything Pencils and the August
Minerals Finishing Powder Translucent. Thanks for pointing the way to
her site!
ReplyDeleteI will have much more to say towards the end of the week but I am going to be traveling for the next four days so this is going to have to suffice! A few things, two hot hot items that sold out almost immediately are finally back in stock! I got the beautiful flower bowl back in stock (limited quantities) for those of you who were waiting, click here to see on online store.
Also was lucky enough to get my hands on another 6 of this bag, that sold out literally within hours!! (they will be to me by Wed) I LOVE this bag!! Click here to see it at my online store.
I was trying to get my late musings post finished in time but alas this week has not allowed for much extra time and I am going to be away for the next four days so this was the perfect post, and besides its high time for another round of "posts to ponder". I like to every now and then share with you some posts that for one reason or another really resonated with me and were designated as "keepers". I also like to add one of my own that I really liked putting together. I have soooo many more so this is a smidgeon and you can be sure I will share more again in the future! Its always fun to look back on posts that caught my eye for one reason or another, and always wonderful to give recognition to the talented bloggers who put this together.
Well suffice to say, each of these is absolutely worth a look (and a second and third one in my opinion). It could take years I kid you not to go through all the blogs and posts, so consider this the express lane on a super highway to get straight to the top and to some of the best! Hope you will visit them and let them know if you feel the same way by leaving a comment to say hi and let them know if you enjoyed their post...its always wonderful validation for us bloggers to hear from our readers. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back relax and enjoy!!

OK blame it on me if you are feeling like something sweet, want to redo your entire yard, give your house a complete makeover, throw a dinner party for 24 , plan an outdoor picnic or want to take an extravagant trip! That is the idea behind a post.......to inspire and share the beauty and wisdom. I hope you will visit them, truly they are all spectacular, I have a lot more to share in my next Posts to Ponder, and I feel that when something is great, it never gets old...hence why I really enjoy going back on old posts and sharing them with you.
Enjoy and happy reading! Thanks for stopping in, be back at the end of the week!

Precious, precious Tina,
ReplyDeleteI am in tears, as I see you have featured me here with a host of most talented women. The link to my post is actually one of MY favorite posts I have ever done since it has to do with my beloved mother.
I saw your email; I will answer later this morning, as I am going out for a bit.
I want to thank you so much my beloved friend, for your enthusiasm and generosity. "THANK YOU" is simply not enough, but for now, it is all I can say for this most kind gesture!
Back via email, Anita

ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend! Enjoy your trip! I hope it is relaxing, and filled with family and friends and tasty treats.
Thank you for the beautiful lists of posts! Many I know of but there are some new to me and I think will now be favorites too.

Tina, I just sat down to gland at a few blogs and saw this…I was just enjoying myself immensely and then was super excited and surprised that you included me in this. When I re-read that post…as well as your words…it made me remember and realize I can be inspired once again even though I feel totally blah right now! Thank you for doing this! This was amazing and I plan on reading each and every post you referenced here. You are my idol! You are what I strive for in blogging…now, if only we could meet! LOL! Seriously, though…I truly appreciate it and I appreciate the inspiration as usual! You are such a dear friend and I truly appreciate you! Hope you are having fun whatever it is you are doing for these four days! I can't wait to hear about it! Much love!!! Caroyn
ReplyDeleteYes Tina, so much to ponder here. I now do want to take a trip, move into one of these scrumptious houses, and attend but not host a lovely dinner party. All of those images were amazing, and I loved Yvonne's post on the shower too. You have inspired me.

The first step is that, buy wow gold you can learn the best way to reach the wow gold cap. What is the first thing that you have guessed? The Auction house? Yes, this is a good way to make the wow gold, but it is not the fastest way to reach the WoW gold gap. For this take a ton of time, even you are in the highest speed, it will need you a lot of time. May be you can get bunch of gold for you, but the wow gold is too expensive and you this against Blizzard’s Terms of Service. power leveling wow If the wow gold is too good for you, it will help you get enough gold and silver to purchase much needed upgrades for your character. As we all know, the more gold we have the better the equipment and weapons you can buy, and the faster the speed of leveling up. And a good Wow gold guild will tell you is about that: how you can make loads of gold from just doing the normal quests and exactly the way to do them so you make more gold; how to use the auction house to reap in huge profits on the items you sell; best wow gold how to make big money from the elements in the game.
ReplyDeleteWell Tina, I spent my entire evening reading posts from all of your fabulous suggestions. Thank you so much for including Design Chic among this wonderful group. Enjoy a few days of relaxation and we'll look forward to that email in our inbox when you return!
