Happily receiving and giving the Great Read Award

Blog awards are great fun, they bring bloggers closer and often introduce readers to sites that they may not be aware of, yet would wholeheartedly adore. In May I had the absolute pleasure of receiving the One Lovely Blog award, and this week two dear and wonderful souls have honoured me with a new awards, the “Great Read”.

As I understand it, there are no concrete rules for the distribution of this award. You can pass it on to however many blogs you like, so long as they’re ones that you personally categorize as being Great Reads. If you’d like to share this award, please save the image below to your own computer or online image hosting site and distribute to whomever you desire.



Lemondrop Vintage and Dustjacket Attic have both bestowed this generous gift my way, and as such I’m thrilled to be able to pass it along to a slew of blogs that never cease to inspire, enthrall and amaze me. I encourage you to click on the names of any blogs that are new to you, they are certainly worth getting to know :)

(Please note that if you didn’t make it onto the list, it most certainly does not mean that I don’t adore you, I do! It’s just that in the spirit of the number of recipients Dustjacket Attic selected, I’ve had to whittle my list down to 15. By all means, if you’re reading this, please feel free to give yourself this award from me – I’m positively certain you’re a great read, too!)
