Best of 2010


Last year I didn't have enough blog posts to do a "Best of"--so, yippee!--I get to do one this year!  I'll go through my favorite things first, then my top-rated posts.  Ready?  Set.  Goooo!

10.  My favorite thrift find(s):


Pedestal bowl because it was so easy and so rewarding and the pieces were so "there" at GW when I found them (carved bowl and candlestick).


"Duck" tray because it was silly, unexpected and makes an interesting "lift" for centerpieces.


 9.  "Not" my most fun post:  Not a Good Thrift Day!  See, see!--This is the bowl and candlestick from #10!



8.  My favorite photo from Easter Foodie Fun.  Doesn't it look like you could reach right into your screen and grab a Rice Krispie egg?

7.  My favorite photogenic items:


Grain sack seat because its silhouette is always so interesting.  The grain sack fabric is a Giveaway win from Miss Mustard Seed.


Bird, shown in Dining Dark & Light.  I'm pretty sure you can never have too many blog followers or too many birds...

6.  "Buzz" getters:


Patriotic Eggs thanks to Kim at Today's Creative Blog

Jumbo Candy Corn, thanks to Jen at Tater Tots and Jello (see below) -

Thank you so much for making this such a fun year!  I appreciate my readers, my blog friends, and all of the inspiration and encouragement.

    Hey Kim!
    Love you 2010 projects. Maybe I'll be able to participate nest year. Thanks for your comment about my great-grandparents picture. Yes, they do look somber, maybe they are both scared!

    Looking forward to your 2011 posts. Have a Happy and fullfilling new year!
