A Welcomed Surprise -

This has been a difficult week for us. We brought my 99 year old dad to live with us in November - a strong willed Sicilian. Last Monday he was brought to the hospital with conjestive heart failure. He is home with us now and hopefully will be back to his old self shortly. Thank you for all those prayers!

Traveling back and forth to the hospital all week has been most tiring and stressful. What a nice surprise it was for me to find that Nancy (Nancy's Daily Dish) had given me the Sunshine Blog Award! Thank you Nancy - Your timing was perfect!

I first met Nancy on Twitter where she tweets under the name Transferware. This immediately caught my attention as I am also fond of this wonderful antique china. I then located her blog and found that her collection is outstanding and displayed beautifully.

Again - Thank You Nancy - for this spot of sunshine in my life!

  8. Thank you so much - and to think that a year ago I had no idea what a darn blog was....it has been a 10 month eye opening experience to meet all these wonderfully supportive folks from all around the world. Tag you are it - and I have nominated you for Blogs.com as my top 10 favorite blogs as well. since my blog is all about "nesting" and from my interior designer's perspective, an antique expert such as yourself has been instrumental in helping me to round out my views....thanks a bunch. http://www.blogs.com/topten/tamaras-top-10-blogs-that-inspire-nesting/
