Thank you, Black Zebra!

How nice to receive this stunning Stylish Blogger award from the author of a blog I so enjoy called Black Zebra.

I think I first learned of Black Zebra from Pam, a friend who has the wonderful blog and store in my neighborhood called  Red Ticking. When I visited Black Zebra, it was love at first sight! The author is a photo stylist and aspiring designer, living in London. She posts a spare amount of images, but each one speaks volumes. I love the things that catch her eye – most have an exotic edge and striking color combinations.

This honor comes with some pleasant obligations, which I shall thoroughly enjoy fulfilling!

thank and link back to the person who awarded you {check};

So,
seven things about me..


As a child, my favorite television show was Julia Child’s, I thought she was magical
~
When I can’t sleep at night, I listen to the BBC on my Zune.
~
My mother’s coffee frappé recipe was the inspiration for Starbucks Frappuccino.
~
I love inclement weather (snow, rain, even gray skies)!
~
My favorite natural scents are figs (the fruit and the leaves), tomato vines, citrus blossoms and the smell of a wood fire when the air is cold and crisp.
~
I love Lemonheads and Hot Tamale candies.
~
I started Splendid Market after I tore my MCL on a toboggan ride on New Years Eve, I couldn’t ski or play tennis for 6 weeks! My goal was to become more technologically literate. Along the way, Splendid Market has become a greatly rewarding creative outlet for me. The readers and fellow bloggers from around the world that I have “met” along the way are one of the greatest parts of this endeavor.

Thank you all so much for your support and interest!

And now for the award winners..
{maybe I’ve watched too many award shows!?!}

I’m not sure where this award originated, but I hope it’s okay if I came up with my own interpretation of “stylish” blogs. I decided to choose blogs where it is clear the writer has their own style and talents and they are confident demonstrating and expressing their personal style and point-of-view.

I’m very thoughtful about who I choose to include in my blog roll, I try to choose blogs that I think will bring the highest level of inspiration and enjoyment to my Splendid Readers. As much as I would have loved to have passed the award on to many of the very qualified blogs already on my roll {more splendid inspiration}, I chose to follow the rules. In the end, I found this to be a terrific impetus for me to look more closely at some of the blogs I have been casually following and to update the blog roll with some incredible additional talent.

I am off to visit each of them to let them know “I like their style”. I’ve added each blog to my blog roll so you can easily visit them with just a click. When you do, please tell them “hello” from Splendid Market.

Now, without further ado {can you hear the drum roll??} here are the next winners of The Stylish Blogger Award…

The Perfect Grey

Quintessence
The Hampton Hostess
Not Without Salt
India Hicks Blog
Dwellers without Decorators
Interior Design Musings
Bourbon and Pearls
Lindaraxa’s Garden
and
Cristina, from Buenos Aires to Paris


Here’s to you, please keep the great posts coming..
