Quite a surprise today, receiving a message from Rosetta from
The Romantic Rose that I should check her blog. There it was: a Blog Liking Award which I show you here below.
Rosetta is from Latina, which is south of Rome.
Having lived and worked one year in Italy, of course I do have a soft spot for the country and always will. Our area was near Venice, quite a journey away from Rosetta's central Italy section.
She started her romantic blog the end of December, last year and she does have a translator on her blog. Even though that never works perfect but together with the photos, that will do for anyone who doesn't master that particular language.
Those that I do pass this blog on to are required to do three things:
- Posting this blog liking award photo on their own blog (click on the photo to get its URL)
- Tell about 'that' day you began blogging...
- Identify other bloggers for passing this award on.
- So let me tell first about 'that' day. It was in November of 2009 that I wrote my first blog. On the 23rd about {Romancing the Home}. This first blog had my first link to my website Mariette's Back to Basics. That feeling about romancing has not gone away since than! My very first comment ever, was given to me by Johanna Gehrlein, from Silber+Rosen (Silver+Roses) in Germany. That makes her my 1st recipient. Before I did write my first blog, I got already Johanna's Splendid book about {Splendid book about Silver Rose Flatware}. You can read about her book here in English: Rosen-Bestecke The Book.
- Staying in Germany, but now going to the north, I like to pass it on to the very talented Elvira from Rosengärtchen (Rose garden) who makes the most romantic Christening gowns one can imagine, among other things.
- Going back to Italy, you must visit this incredible fashion blog by Elisabetta Mikapoka. She is a fashion designer and illustrator herself and it is interesting to read her blog in English!
- Now from Italy to France, to Versailles where I want to introduce you to Chantal from Abacaxi & Hortelã her blog is in English as well.
- Crossing the Channel, we now travel to England to meet another very talented lady that studied Interior Design and she's also an excellent landscaper too. Her name is Bea from the blog Modern Country Lady.
There are so many others I would like to pass this award on to but the list would get too long...
Thanks for your time and to all the winners; congratulations and thanks again Rosetta!
