I'm sure you have a pretty good idea of who I am by now. I love gardening, especially my roses and I love design and decorating and I love people and their creativity. In fact, since I've done so many posts about roses and design I will probably do a post to introduce you to an artist at your party, if that's ok with you.<br />As far as hijacking your blog...not a chance. I love your blog because you write about so many different topics. Nobody could do your blog like you do. It's fabulous!Blooming Rose Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927029523022093567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-37337126600551397502011-04-11T21:44:52.949+01:002011-04-11T21:44:52.949+01:00Hey sweetie....Just checking in

So glad to have found you!<br /> I'm 33 and about to have my first baby (though I've already raised twins...they were my sisters' and they are adults now, I cant believe it!)<br />I went to art school, apprenticed with a traditional furniture maker, became a firefighter, met my husband in a TEENY TINY town in south jersey, inherited a 214 year old house, got married, became a kitchen designer and recently started my own blog. Whew, sounds like a whirlwind when I type it out. My PIN Number? um...maybe I will remember that when I remember where I put my ATM card...<br /><br />I love my dogs, my community, my baby who will be here in 2 months! (OMG!), my family, and renovating our house. <br />I like to make stuff and i LOVE to paint. <br />I love ethnic food...Thai, Cuban, Ethiopian, Afghani, Burmese...anything with a variety of vegetarian dishes.<br />Oh, and I also like our couch...omg, so comfy!<br /><br />i love modern country style the way she is! I love the inspiration. I love that you delve into what a topic is all about. Personally, I wouldn't have suggestions on changing it up...you already know exactly what you are doing!<br /><br />I'm a bit obsessed with kitchens, so I would probably do a series on kitchens if i hijacked your blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456426571506144413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-58921872179403514452011-04-11T10:40:25.232+01:002011-04-11T10:40:25.232+01:00Dear Sarah, does this mean if we share with you, y...Dear Sarah, does this mean if we share with you, you'll share the same with us? Hope so.<br /><br />I'm just about to hit 41, head on and feeling every single one of those 41 years right about now! I'm mum to 2 gorgeous yet challenging children, 11 and 9. I currently live in Munich thanks to my husband who decided it was a good idea to take a job here for a few yrs, we are almost done and about to return home to Sydney, Australia. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!! I love my family and friends and I've missed them terribly. I love beautiful things and I like to take bits and pieces from different styles to make them work for my home. I have a bit of a cluttering/hoarding gene that I have to do battle with on a regular basis, not good when you have a small house! I also love the colour blue - in all its varying shades from navy to turquoise to blue grey to almost sea green. It can be so calming or so uplifting depending on the hue. <br /><br />Your posts are perfect Sarah, sorry to be a bore, but I wouldn't change a thing and I wouldn't want to take over MCS - what would it be without you my sweet.<br />I love your blog and I've learnt so much about styles since stumbling upon it. <br /><br />Looking forward to your next post, take care and have a great week!<br />Alison xxalisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190360458114389641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-89790456733441691212011-04-11T07:32:35.697+01:002011-04-11T07:32:35.697+01:00Hi Sarah Sarah!

I think I forgot how. <br />Anyway...<br />Very cute post! It's good that you set boundaries. I would probably share my pin # because I have the gift of over sharing :) I wanted you to buy that Belgian style chair and ottoman for me. I will have to find another way now, haaaa! <br />A little about me... I am a mother, wife and part time DIY'r. I feel lost without my faith. I'm thankful for friends and coffee :)I could bore you to tears with all the things I like. Lastly, the perfect week of posts... Well, I think you've had some great ones so far. Not sure you could do a week on it, but I'd love to see ideas on window treatments. Weird, I know. <br /><br />Better get to bed. Hope you have a wonderful week! <br />xoxoxoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-49135019312732167762011-04-11T04:29:37.949+01:002011-04-11T04:29:37.949+01:00Hi Sarah

I'm a wife, lawyer and SAHM of our 3 pixies under 6. <br /><br />2. I love all things French and German, stationery, languages, words, painting, reading, films and cross-stitch.<br /><br />3. Gosh, I'm so new here that I can't say. I think you're doing a splendid job.<br /><br />4. Cripes, I just couldn't.

I love the comments so ...O.K., this is so much fun! I love the comments so far! You found me, I believe. I'm not quite sure how, but I am SO glad you did!! I LOVE your blog. Absolutely beautiful.<br /><br />About me? Hmmm. I love my life in suburban Chicago (the MOST beautiful city in the U.S.!). I love my husband, three daughters (all teenagers!), and my church. I love writing, reading, cooking, baking, eating (!), and blogging. My relationship with God is a huge part of my life. My friends are also really important to me. <br /><br />I also love to travel, especially to your neck of the woods--I've been to England six times, and I'm sure I will be going there for the rest of my life. My dream is to live where you do. ;)<br /><br />A perfect week at your place? I'd love to know more about YOU--your family, what you love, your village, your garden. <br /><br />I could NEVER presume to take over your blog, Sarah. I do not have a crafty bone in my body. Even though I love beautiful things and I love making my home beautiful, I cannot make much of anything beautiful by myself. You just keep up the good work, dear!<br /><br />Thanks for the chance to introduce myself to your readers!Shelly Wildmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366214414205646931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-49183737408333838632011-04-10T22:04:24.177+01:002011-04-10T22:04:24.177+01:00Hello sweet thing!!

Hmmm, that is a great question! :) I am not really sure but I know that I find new and exciting things, some good and some not so much, about me every day. :)<br />I love decorating and I love my family and of course the beach and all things that come with it!!! I also think I was born with a paint brush in my hand cause I can't seem to put one down lately. :)<br />I adore your posts and all that you have to say and I learn so much from you and if I took your blog over the first post would be about you and how beautiful and wonderful you are my darling wonky friend!!! :)<br />This was fun! You are so clever and I hope you had a wonderful weekend!<br /><br />Hugs to you!michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757389045798739976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-9390505236618038602011-04-10T17:34:08.446+01:002011-04-10T17:34:08.446+01:00Oooh such a good idea for a post and a sneaky way ...Oooh such a good idea for a post and a sneaky way to find out about your readers ;) Love it, may have to steal it! hahaha<br /><br />Who am I? Well you probably know a bit about me by now but I'm an American living in the UK since 2001 with my boyfriend of 2.5 years and our two cats. I've had what many have referred to as an 'interesting history' but it's made me who I am and wouldn't trade my life with anyone else's. That said, if they ever wanted to make the film of my life (this has been suggested as well hmmm), then I want Helena Bonham Carter to play me because she's just the right side of completely bonkers.<br /><br />What do I love? Laughter, creating, connecting with people on multiple levels, expressing myself via my style both home and on my person, people with a bit of an 'edge' or who challenge me and make me think.<br /><br />Perfect week of posts? Oh jeez, Sarah, you do this better than I do and I can bearly keep up with my own blog - you're doing rather well I say! I think one thing I struggle with is finding sources for wonderful things I see on US blogs - perhaps UK alternatives?<br /><br />Taking over MCS - well, to be fair, I wouldn't do it justice my dear. It is your personality that shines through every post so incognito would never happen! I would be ousted as a fraud in no time!!<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying this GLORIOUS weekend of sunshine we are having my darling! xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542570141241919098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-64955977555426976112011-04-10T15:56:09.690+01:002011-04-10T15:56:09.690+01:00Hi Sarah,

I am a designer, wife, mom to two fur babies, and in general a person that looks for ways to make my life and home more fun and inspiring!<br />2. I love making things, especially if I can repurpose something that would just be junk! I also love, love, love blogging! It is so much fun sharing our home adventures and projects on our blog, I am so happy I found it as a hobby! I also love bad reality TV and movies!<br />3. I think doing an inspiration post, a house project post, a review of something house related, then more about your english garden (that I am so jealous of!)<br />4. Something about English Gardens! They look so mystical and beautiful, I don't think my yard will ever be 'english garden' quality.<br /><br />Hope you are having a good weekend!<br />Oh guess what?

And there I began dreaming about having a bathroom that's not the size of a pantry!<br />So, here it goes.<br />1) Who am I? I'll tell you as soon as I figured it out. I've always been full of contradictions, maybe that's what explains the best who I am.<br />2)I love my house, my job, serious reading and stupid novels, ballet and American TV shows, caramel above all and flowers, having a hot bath with lavander oil and wearing ludicrous dresses...<br />3) Perfect week of posts would be about renovating a kitchen... Shoot, you've already done that!
