And now the rules to receive the award: you mst share 10 things about yourself and then pass the award to 10 other blogs. Don't know which part is the most difficult, whether to share 10 thins about myself as I am a little shy and reserved or chose only 10 blog out of hundreds of marvelous ones which would equally deserve the award.
One step after the other, here's 10 things about myself:
1) I love my family with all of my heart and they always come first no matter what. Sometimes they come second but only to work where I have no choice but spend most of my day. I adore them and they know this!
2) I love to be creative and crafty. This is not always appreciated in my family but I'm stubborn nearly 50-year-old lady! Think I inherited this from both my dad and my grandmother. Both of them very creative!
3) I have a thing for china, old monogrammed linens and old provencal furniture
4) going to antique markets to bring home my wonderful and carefully sought for treasures is among the things I love most. Once a larger home will be found I'll find a proper place t showcase them all...
5) I believe in friendship: I love to give much more than to receive
6) I dream that one day I'll be able to leave my job as a personal assistant to open my own business: a petit cosy french style salon de thé "Chez Rita". How does it sound?
7) I still miss my dear old mom who's no longer on this earth since nearly two years
8) I try to put passion in everything I do
9) I adore my dog although at times she can be a real pester and drive me literally nuts
10) last bu not least... ta da ... I hate cooking!
And now the most difficult task, having to choose only 10 blogs to pass this award to. The tag is more for scrapping blogs but still I mean to share it with my bloggy friends who have inspired and encouraged me ever since Rita's Shabby Chic Rose has made its first shy step into blogland:
1) Anita di Castles Crowns and Cottages http://wwwcastlescrownscottages.blogspot.com/2) Mimi di Bonjour Romancehttp://bonjourromance.blogspot.com/
3) Julie Marie di Idyll Hours http://idyllhours.blogspot.com/
4) Lea di My Letters to Emily http://myletterstoemily.blogspot.com/
5) Vianne di Mon Petit Bonheur http://vianne-monpetitbonheur.blogspot.com/
6) Fleurette di La vie en rose http://fleurette-lavieenrose.blogspot.com/
7) The Duchess of Tea di Rose Tea Cottage http://roseteacottage.blogspot.com/
8) Tammy di T's Daily Treasures http://tsdailytreasures.blogspot.com/
9) Alessandra di The Home of My Dreams http://thehomeofmydreams.blogspot.com/
10) Sabrinaesse di Sunset Garden http://www.sunsetgardensabrinaesse.com/
BOnjour dear Rita,
RispondiEliminaI love your list - "Chez Rita" sounds marvelous. I'll be your first customer. You'll do it one day I'm sure! Thanks for the tag, I'll do this asap. Hope all is going well for you my friend.
Wishing you a good week,
Mimi
Hello Rita darling, I was just about to switch off my laptop to go to bed, when your email popped out. It is always a pleasure to hear from you. Luv, congratulations on your well deserved award. I already know how kind and wonderful you are and now by reading your tag, I have found out so much more. Darling I think both of us have been cut from the same cloth. I am not crafty, I don’t have a dog and I love cooking so besides these three, you and I have everything else in common. Tomorrow is my mum’s first year passing memorial, so I know what you are feeling. I just posted about that on my blog and cried for hours. On the happier note, I too would love to have a tea shop so may be we can open one in Italy and one in England!! My cooking will come in handy in the teashop and you being crafty will be a huge plus, what do you think? Oh! I so enjoy talking to you...now for my award. Rita darling, thanks so much for passing this lovely award to me, I am so honoured my friend. I have posted my award on my award blog and will treasure and cherish it forever. I am planning to do a post on the award sometime this week. Thanks again luv.
RispondiEliminaLove & Hugs

i'm such a novice at this!
Hi sweet Rita! I'm feeling like you these days. Not enough time for everything. I feel like I'm behind -- and I don't get to visit my bloggy friends whom have been there since nearly the beginning of my journey. I so much believe in friendship and giving more than receiving too -- so when I don't get to visit your lovely little corner of the world, I feel sad. I love your little orphan teacups in the previous post. Yesterday found me rushing from school to tackle my dusty, dirty living room. I HAVE to rearrange many times a year or I feel like everything is smothering me. I must simplify. And we went to feed sweet baby kittens yesterday who still continue to do well. Poor little ones! Good luck with your hunt for a lovely home that you so deserve. Have a great week. Blessings, Tammy PS Thanks for the award. Must blog about it soon. :)
RispondiEliminaCiao Rita, ho visto che ci sono molte cose che ci accomunano, e mi hai fatto venire le lacrime agli occhi, anche a me manca molto la mia mamma che non c'è più da tre anni, forza e coraggio loro ci sono sempre vicine.
RispondiEliminaMolto belli i blog che hai premiato.
Baci Irene
