I was awarded the "Very Inspiring Blogger Award"…yay! What a great way to start a Saturday.

This award was given to me by Jamie from Chatter Blossom. She has a talent for weaving a story out of images and creating memorable accessories with her hands. I love to experience the world through her imaginative tales and beautifully curated collections.

Don't miss her Etsy shop…she wraps her handmade treasures so they look like cookies. Who wouldn't want one of these little lovelies in their stocking for Christmas?

There are rules that go along with this award so that it continues to support active bloggers. The rules of this award are as follows:

1. Display the award certificate on your website.
2. Announce your win with a post and include a link to whoever presented your award.
3. Present 7 awards to deserving bloggers. Create a post linking to them and drop them a comment to tip them off.
4. Post 7 interesting facts about yourself.

Seven Interesting Facts About My Life:

– I worked in a remote isolated private hunting lodge in northern Scotland. There was a staff of 7 working in the lodge. We had no electricity and it was only accessable via boat. The mistress of the manor took it upon herself to teach me how to cook on a coal fed Aga. I owe my love of cooking to Mrs. Stroyan.

- I met my husband while studying in the south of France. We speak French every other day at home.

– My husband and I took private Tango dance lessons for several years. I miss it like crazy, but it is super pricey : (

– I don't eat meat because I can't stand the taste and texture of it.

– I only like to hear Christmas music a couple of days before Christmas and I only want snow for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day…so it looks like someone didn't get the memo.

– I am only missing one course credit to be certified as a professional chef.

– Years ago I owned a 1969 Karmen Ghia convertible in cherry red ( which I loved!) but I sold it so I could travel more.
