~ Charlotte Lyons, Kim's Daisy Cottage & Me

Thanks for your kind comments on the last collage. I've put a couple on Ebay, and hope to get some smaller, quicker ones done for Ebay & Etsy. It's a learning process since I'm having to figure out everything about selling. Buying I'm good at! :)
Tomorrow we are going to swim with the dolphins at Discovery Cove!!!! I'm excited. Saturday we will take in a day at Sea World. So I'll be away for a couple of days. Hope your weekend is a good one!

The other day I was shuffling around the books on the table looking for one, and I noticed an outdoor garden one, and who did I find has been in my house for years? Charlotte Lyons! I had no idea how accomplished she was when I've been visiting her blog. It was only last week that I finally noticed her sidebar and saw the books she has written. Sorry, Charlotte, I need to slow down. And it is such a nice book, too. I get it out around this time each year and enjoy it all over again.

So I went over to see Charlotte and read a bit more, but what post popped up? One about my dear friend Kim of Daisy Cottage fame. I was getting ready to write a post about sweet Kim. But Charlotte, who is a writer, did a much better job of course. Everything Charlotte had to say is what I feel and have told Kim a few times. That girl can find the best things for a few bucks and make them look so charming.

It's pretty impossible if you come by here that you didn't already know about these two ladies. But I wanted to just let both of them know how special they are to me, as well as to most of you.

    I love that ME book, also.

    As you know, I've "known" Kim awhile and know how special she is. It's great getting to know Charlotte, too!

  10. I cannot believe how long it's been since I've been here at your blog....I can't believe it, I think your blog link was accidentally deleted from my list (bad me!) So now I am going to do some catch up reading. (shh, I'm supposed to be on a blog break)
    Happy May!

  11. Hey, Donna
    I love this book too...can't beat ME for true creativity.

    I tagged you. Details on my blog. I'm new to this, so accept my apologies and ignore if this is bad blogging etiquette. Enjoy your weekend.
