Dear sweet ladies, thank you all for making my 1000 followers party such a success! There were 61 gorgeous posts in the linky party and 117 sweet comments. I really felt very blessed, and so grateful for all of your kind words. Since then 100 more smiling faces have joined my Faithful Followers club. Welcome to you all!!!
I thought it would be nice to look back a bit and cast the light on some special party guests.
I would have loved to put every linked up post in the spotlight, but that would be a bit much. I do recommend visiting all the linker-uppers though, if you haven’t already. There is so much inspiration there for the taking.
I am more or less going to shut up now in this post and let you enjoy the beauty and wisdom of some of my friends who played along.
You can click on any picture and it will take you to the original post where you will find more beautiful pictures.
Brenda, Cozy Little House, “ White is the “comma” in a colorful sentence.”
Donna, Funky Junk Interiors “White is a magical highlight trick.”
Sue, How I See It. Lovely white bedding that brings out all the different textures and really shows how great whites work together.
Karen, Ocean Soul White. “We love white because it takes us back to the ocean, white capped waves, white puffy clouds, white sea foam”.
Jame, Freckled Laundry “White is clean and reflects the dreamer in me.”
Deborah The Fisherman’s Cottage “white brings unity… once something is painted white it easily fits into my home.”
Nita, Mod Vintage Life “I love white and especially white furniture because of how great other colors look against it.”
Karen from KK’s Place. “White is refreshing and it allows the subtle colors and textures to be seen. I won’t quit until white conquers all.”
Amy, Maison Décor. See a room transition in leaps and bounds, through years of loving it. It is great to see how it grows into this wonderful space.
Jill, Bailiwick Studio “I even love the names of different shades of white… cream, ivory, linen, cotton, snow, whisper, cloud, pearl, whitewash.”
Jolanda, Franse Lelie (French Lily)“Wit in huis, brengt rust en sfeer….”
”White brings peace and atmosphere in a home.”
Aren’t all of these women wise and eloquent. I loved going through all the linkups and drink up all that beautiful white.
And now for the giveaway. I have let the Random machine do its thing and it has come up with three winners.
