holidays at terrain

Christmas

With many thanks to Terrain,  I am really in the Christmas spirit! I was invited to preview their holiday wares, and as usual was wowed by the setting and bounty of items. They are currently overflowing with unique gifts, tree trimmings, wreaths, and soon…Christmas trees (I took this photo last year). I find myself there often this time of year, with the enticing scent of the wood-burning fire pit drawing me near…I could wander for hours. I highly recommend a visit, and if you haven’t been to the café, you must…yummy goodness year round. I could live on their homemade bread alone.

Seven-paris

I’ve been invited to participate in the 7 Links Project by my friend Lindsey of Lost In Cheeseland. I mostly choose to opt out of meme’s, because like Lindsey, I prefer to chart my own course. However this one, initated by TripBase, is challenging and fun, in my opinion. The goal of the project is to incite bloggers to unite and share, bringing older articles out of the archives that deserve fresh, new eyes. I am flattered to be nominated, and I hope you enjoy my links! Do you like how I tied in Anne’s Paris map featuring the 7th arrondissment…?! I think it’s pretty clever, if I do say so myself. Thank you for reading!

 
Most Beautiful…
I chose this as it is the one most beautiful to me, in the sentiments I shared, and the revelation I had in my life. It also happened to coincide with Valentine’s Day. My Personal Paris

Most Popular…
It seems based on stats that my Proust Series really resonates with readers, and I always receive great feedback, whether on the blog or twitter…it helps others to learn of great blogs and get to know their favorite writers in a more in depth way. Proust Archives

Most Controversial…

I don’t know if I have any posts that qualify for this category, however I feel that this one raised a thought provoking concept and question. An Idea of Paris

Most Helpful…
This was tough, but I chose this post because it was helpful for me to share publicly, and also it seems readers appreciate hearing the struggles of others, as it reminds us we are not alone, we all have burdens and stresses and can help lift others up. It reminds me how thankful I am for all of you! Dark Seas

Most Surprising Success…

Based on stats, my busiest traffic day was in celebration of my one year blog anniversary, which is so flattering! I was (and am) truly touched by all the love & support. Une Année

Not Enough Attention…
I really don’t feel like my posts about Billy get enough attention. Kidding, kidding…I can’t help myself in promoting his cuteness, and I love how you all share in my adoration! Billy Archives

Most Proud Of…
I would have to say I am most proud of launching my online business, and was joyously overwhelmed with the support and interest I received!  Announcing…Nesting!

I am inviting the following bloggers who I hope will choose to participate as I did…

I grew up surrounded by books, literally. My Mom is a (retired) librarian, and reads more than anyone I know. I understood the dewey decimal system like no other by the time I was eight. I had fun card cataloging, and searching microfiche.  I learned to appreciate the feel of the page, the smell, the weight…I am a book lover. As techy as I am , nothing will ever replace the printed word for me. So, in honor of World Book Day, I encourage you to take the pledge…
