Yesterday I received a Liebster Blog Award from Scarlett of Scarlett Loves Elvis fame.
How lovely is that...thank you Scarlett x
This award is for bloggers with less than 300 followers (which makes me the perfect candidate! Ha!)

The aim of the L.B.A. is to spread the word about wonderful but currently lesser known blogs, and as a new blogger I think this can only be a good thing.

Here are my nominations - all Australian and all beautiful in slightly quirky ways. They are inspiring, interesting and a little bit different...
Please have a look at them BUT be warned, you'll be hooked once you start!

My nominations are...

I'm just going to sneak this one in too  http://slownoodle.blogspot.com/ while I don't think it fits the criteria it's a lovely blog and definetely worth checking out.

With the tragedy unfolding in Japan at the moment blogging does seem rather insignificant... mother nature has been extremely cruel lately and it is very sad to see so many people suffering. I do think however, that the connection that blogging allows us to make with people all over the world is very important.

Enough pontificating from me. On to happier news...my vintage Pierucci dress has a new owner! It's Vildes Verden from Norway! Please email me your details Vildes so that I can post your new dress to you. I hope you get lots of lovely compliments when you wear it. To the girls who missed out - stay tuned, I'll have more giveaways down the track...

To end, the tea towel
