Recently Emily at My Vintage Visions awarded me the One Lovely Blog Award, and I wanted to say thank you!
In order to accept the award, I must:
- thank the person who nominated you;
- add the "One Lovely Blog Award" image to your post;
- share seven things about yourself;
- pass the award on to seven nominees;
- include this set of rules; and
- inform your nominees by posting a comment on their blogs.

The seven blogs I would like to nominate in turn (and I encourage you to go check them out!) are:
1. Quinn at The Quintessential Clothes Pen
2. Barbara at Recreating the 19th century Ballroom
3. Julia P. at Not So Geek, Not So Chic
4. Fleur at Diary of a Vintage Girl
5. Augustintyar at Before the Automobile
6. Audrey at Visually Stunning
7. Jamie at Suitcase Words
But I'm going to forgo talking about myself, and instead continue my Love Letter to New England. So instead of seven things about me, here are my seven favorite parts of home...in no particular order.
1. Farm stand ice cream: the area surrounding Boston is full of delicious, seasonal ice cream stands. And because this is MA, we wait in snow boots and winter coats to eat ice cream on opening weekend. (pictured: Kimball Farms in Westford, MA on their opening weekend this March) |
4. How our history is such a part of our present--the Freedom Trail is a cobblestone/brick inlay that leads visitors (and locals!) to Revolutionary War sites throughout Boston. There are tons of ways to customize it, too--I've done both the Civil War walking tour and the Women's History tour. (Pictured: feet belonging to two of my friends, who were visiting from Europe this summer) |
It was hard to stop, but finally...
Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteBest,

You're very welcome!
ReplyDeleteBoston is only about 2 hours from me (I'm in Southern Vt). I'm very glad to hear things are getting back to normal down there. I have several friends who live in the area, including one who was running the marathon last Monday and was only 1/2 a mile from the finish line when the bombs went off. Yikes! Thankfully all of them are safe now. Boston Strong!

I'm glad to hear your friends are ok!
