Blogs to Note

Originally, I was going to write a detailed witty description of each of these blogs, but I decided that the writers themselves might do a better job. The descriptions below are from each blog's "about me" section. So please take a peek and hopefully you will enjoy them as much as I do.


Apothecary Fox


"Apothecary Fox is the outlet for my lifestyle and design passions, and most importantly my love for all things handmade.
I sincerely hope you like what you find here, as it is put together with a whole lot of love.
I love Letterpress Prints, Home Accessories, Kitchen Gadgets, Jewellery, Bedlinen (oh, how much do I LOVE bedding!), Furniture, Handbags...I think you probably get the picture. I want to celebrate and share the talents of independent artisans, as well as cheer for the bigger gals and guys who just get it so right!


I like pretty...in all kinds of things. Colour is a passion and you will quickly understand that Pink and Green are at the top of the list. Vintage inspires me, florals send me into a spin and don't even get me started on stripes!
Born in Boston, raised in Vermont and the Borders of Scotland, independent (historically single!), fiercely loyal, child free (that pic is of me, on a Swan Boat in the Common) but devoted to my nephews and niece (what a bonus Aunt-hood is!) and very very passionate about surrounding myself with beautiful things. I love girly, but would never describe myself as a girly girl. I admire and respect those who can work with their own hands to create unique and amazing things, and am frustrated that I do not have the patience to do the same.


Apothecary Fox is a little like therapy, giving an injection of colour, charm, delight and beauty to my life. A place where you can visit and somehow everything has a rosy glow. I hope you find that here too, or I will have to give you a stronger prescription!"

A Cup of Kiez

"Hello, we are Julie and Kerstin, two English sisters living in the same neighbourhood in Berlin-Schöneberg. We´d like to invite you in to a Cup of Kiez – so take a seat, relax and enjoy our unique blend of homelife, design, stories, people and places that inspire and motivate us to live life more creatively."

Admiral and Tea


"Hello!
My name is Caitlin and I am an art history student living in Southern Ontario, Canada. I love photography, traveling, design, magazines, reading, fashion, vintage, and interesting finds. This blog is a place where I post about fashion, stylish and affordable outfits, and my photography. 
The name "Admiral and Tea" was concocted after endless brainstorming and hilarious late night conversations with my family. Admiral is taken from my favourite restaurant Admiral Risty, in California, and I just think that it is a really cool word. I love tea, and it sounded good with Admiral! :) "

Happy Serendipity


"What a serendipity that you’ve found my blog.
This blog here is my personal outcome of ideas and inspiration, a bunch of nice finds from all over the place, tutorials of crafty things, a peek into my life.
I like to sew things but actually more craving the process than the outcome. I’m interested in crafting so I try something new every now and then. I love my iPhone and my Nikon so stay tuned for fun apps and eye candy pictures. I need books more than water so once in a while I’ll write about my favorite book. My always beloved city Frankfurt (Germany) where I live has great spots which I will tell you about, too!
All things I do I do for fun and most of the times I just start and see what will happen. Mostly it’s chaos where I end up  But you will see for yourself."

Carrots and Kids


"Hello! My name's Deb and I like to grow things - veggies, flowers and children. This blog's mostly about gardening at home, on my allotment and at the school gardening club I run. It's also a little bit about family life, coffee, photography, books and trying to be crafty. I live in the countryside in southern England with my husband, our five children, two dogs and an ancient cat."

Yardage Design

"Hello! I'm Nic ... I love to design, sew and play around with lovely things. I have a passion for beautiful fabric and have decided to have a go at designing and printing my own under the label Yardage Design. My blog is my creative outlet and journal of my adventures making things. Thanks for visiting!"

Lattes and Lunges










"Hi My name is Summer I have two little ones…KB and MX who are 1 and 3 respectively =)
I am a full time student and full time momma and lovin’ every crazy minute of it. 
I am originally from Southern California, but after following my parents to Georgia in 2004, I met my hubby and we settled down outside of Atlanta.  I am desperate to one day live ITP (inside the perimeter, what they call inside Atlanta).  But for now this lovely small town will have to do. 
I am currently focusing on losing all the baby weight I packed on with both babies.  I gained 100 lbs with MX and after losing 85 of it, got knocked up again =)  granted we were trying, and gained 60 with KB.  A year and 3 months later I have lost 50 lbs of those pregnancy pounds and am going strong.  I still have about 25 to go to get to where I was before getting pregnant with MX and really want to lose about 35 total.  I am trying to not get hung up on numbers and want to focus on feeling good and being healthy.  But I weigh myself every monday to see how I am doing with my weight loss goal. 
I am using this blog as an accountability/motivational tool to keep me going and focused on my weight loss.  Also to share with everyone just what goes on in the day to day life of a mom/student who is commited to healthy eating and fitness."
