I’ve been wanting to do this for some time now and I thought, what better way to start off the new year than to celebrate some special blogs. I offer these in no paticular order…equal specialness!

For a taste of French craftiness visit the blog and Flickr site of the talented stitchery femme, Adèle. Her style is so refined and infused with patience and thoughtfulness. Here is a sampling of her work:

Adele

These are little pillows filled with lavender, "des oreillers remplis de lavande", to place under your bed pillow. And she is a cross-stitch genius…

If it’s style from the Netherlands that you’re craving _!_ look no further than Yvonne’s site, decorator extraordinaire. What can you say about someone whose range runs from Ricky Gervais to The Bloomsbury Group! Fabulous and fascinating!

You can also check her Flickr here.

Down L.A. way, Garvanza/Highland Park to be precise, you’ll find Dewey Decimal Queen, Marielle. Don’t let the glasses fool you (I’m smiling Marielle). She’s so much more than a master of Library and Information Science. She knits and embroiders lovely creations…

and let’s not forget, she’s a detective of devine shoes! And…she’s a much better writer than I am 🙂 Always amusing and personal. And…I love her photos on Flickr documenting the architecture of L.A. She has a great sense of what is special in our midst.

I’ll be featuring more blog buddies soon. Happy New Year dear friends – xoxoxo

    I’m furiously trying to play catch-up with reading blogs after having my mom here for three weeks over the holidays. I was so touched to read the birthday tribute to Jesse and follow his life’s journey in photos…he sounds like a wonderful son. Now I’m about to head off-course and check out the blog links you’ve posted…always an adventure and such a great way to discover new places to visit. Thank you!
