This week Glama Ray, a top-notch lady with a terrifically fun vintage centred blog, bestowed the “Over the Top” award upon this site, and with it came a delightful set of questions, all of which are to be answered with just one word a piece.
Before proceeding with my pocket sized replies (and passing along this award), I want to say thank you ever so much for the wonderful award, Glama Ray. Short quantities of text and I aren’t always the best of friends (this is largely why I’m not a very prolific Twitter, the itty-bitty character limit just doesn't jive well with my adoration of words!), but I had a sincerely great time filling out this set of questions (I love veering away from my own norm sometimes).
{Receiving the gift of a blog award always makes me feel a bit like I’d imagine the gorgeous gal (Bess Myerson, circa 1945) in this vintage Miss America photo did upon learning she’d come in first place! Image via Life magazine achieves.}

Glama Ray presented this award to six fellow bloggers and so, in her footsteps, I’m going to do the same thing. I always have the trickiest of times with picking just a small handful of people to give a blog award to and openly invite everyone who reads Chronically Vintage to present themselves with the “Over the Top” award, if you’d also like to have a go at filling out the questions above (if you do, please let me know, I’d love to read your answers!).
{To pass along and/or use this adorable graphic on your own site, please download the image to your desktop and/or upload it to your favourite image hosting site.}
Each of these six blogs is a “must visit” site that never fails to inspire me with its fantastic array of vintage topics, images and ideas. Many thanks to you all for the stellar blogs you produce!
2. The Frivolous Flapper
3. ~*Just Add Glitter and Stir*~
4. Madeleine’s Wunderkammer
5. The Dino Lounge
6. The Cupcake Diary
If you’d like pass this award along, my dears, the "rules" to do so are as follows:
1. You can only use ONE word! (To answer the questions)
2. Pass this along to six of your favourite bloggers
3. Alert them that you have given them this award!
4. Have fun!
Thank you again very much for the excellent award, Glama Ray, filling out the questions was a great way to wrap up an already great day (my recently renewed passport arrived earlier than expected and I also got a nice – and massively long overdue – haircut that I’m pretty pleased with, both points that make this Thursday one of the better days so far this month).
Tons of hugs & joyful Friday wishes, everyone!
