I am continually amazed at the time spent by talented people sharing their passions with the world around them. It reminds me of a quote by Joseph Campbell that I try to live my life by: "Follow your Bliss." Thank-you all for taking time out of your busy lives and careers to share your Bliss with us in the 'Blogosphere'!

Dear Patricia,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for mentioning us as one of your top 10 design blogs. It's an honour.
I look forward to reading each of your beautiful, informative and often entertaining posts. I am also continuously amazed at your support of your fellow bloggers and designers and the amount of time you dedicate to your blog.
I loved this post and the hi 5picture AND the quote by Campbell who is one of my favorite authors of all time. In 1989 I was given ALL of his books as a birthday gift by my best friend with an inscription on each one of them. My friend is no longer with us, so now his books serve as a beautiful reminder of his wisdom and her love.
Thank you Patricia. I hope we all have the ability to follow our bliss.

Thanks Patricia...following your Bliss is one of my favorite mantras, and feel for those who can't identify theirs.
ReplyDeleteYour eye for beauty, capacity for joy and delight and the way you live your life inspires me daily.
Best :)
I am familiar with most of these wonderful blogs (with amazing bloggers behind them), but there are a couple of blogs on there that are new to me. I look forward to checking them out!
ReplyDeletePatricia,
ReplyDeleteaw . . .. shucks . . . thank you so much for including me on your list. I am quite delighted and honored. As one of the newer additions to the 'blog world,' I am constantly amazed at the fantastic inspiration I receive from our little family of designers each and every day.
Thank you as well for inspiring me.
I just came for a visit to see what your top 10 design blogs would be. You can't imagine how honored (shocked and surprised) I was to see my little Velvet and Linen on your list!
ReplyDeleteThere are a few design blogs that I visit that not only inspire me but also push my designs to a whole new level. Yours is one of them. Thank you for following your passion and sharing it with us.

dearest , dearest....
ReplyDeletei am blown away.
this means a great deal to me, and i thank you.
about 28 yrs ago my therapist , who was a 'Jungian'........
(79 yrs old ) taught me all about
' BLISS' and what it means to follow it.
or more importantly...not to follow it.
maybe it is working....
again, thank you
love XXX
Joseph Cambell rocks !!

When Kelly and I started our blog - oh, not quite 2 months ago(!) - we searched out other "design/decor" blogs... yours was one of the first we found. We were so excited, energized and insprired by what we saw in your blog!! And through your blog we found other wonderful blogs like Maria's Colour Me Happy, Michelle's A Schematic Life, Lauren's Pure Style & Brooke's Velvet & Linen. And here we are being grouped with these wonderful bloggers, plus a few others that we're going to check out right away! You have no idea what an honour it is to be listed in your Top 10 blogs... thank you!!
ReplyDeleteVictoria @ DesignTies
P.S. I'm SURE that Kelly will be by to express her thanks personally sometime tomorrow - she lives 3 hours ahead of us so is fast asleep right now :-)
Fun idea, also loved your post with the stairs.
ReplyDeleteI'm awake now -- and what great news to wake up to!!!! WOW!!!! 8-)
ReplyDeletePatricia, you can't imagine how much this means to me (and Victoria too, of course!!) When we started DesignTies, I knew nothing about blogging, and I very rarely visited blogs. Well, a whole lot has changed in less than two months!! I've been so inspired by almost every blog on your Top 10 List, so it's an incredible honour that you consider our blog to be on par with theirs. And the couple that you mentioned that I haven't seen yet, I'm popping over to visit as soon as I finish writing this comment!!!
Your blog is a real inspiraton to me, and being part of your Top 10 List gives me even more incentive to "follow my bliss" and pursue my dreams of decorating and writing :-)
It's such a thrill to know that you (and hopefully others!!) are enjoying our blog :-)
THANK YOU, PATRICIA!!!!!
Kelly
