Hello everyone! Slowly things are coming together and I’ve retrieved around 300 posts which is pretty exciting though all the comments were lost on all posts dating March 3 to present. My plan B is to simply move forward from here and venture ahead, no looking back. Last night, I rolled over to a new server which erased my post and comments from yesterday, but things should be back to almost normal again here tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve left you with some lovely links to enjoy below.
Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful emails, comments, tweets, Flickr mails and facebook messages and emails. I was overwhelmed by your caring thoughts, positivity and encouragement which definitely made the situation so much easier to handle. Our blogging community is the best. Regular posting will resume tomorrow, Wednesday June 24, 2009. All systems go! :) See you tomorrow, friends!
Links to love:
- Country Living (US) magazine home tours (where the photo above is from).
- Have you visited the Country Living online store? Free shipping on orders over $99 (coupon code: CG999). The carry one of my favorite jams which is great if you warm it up and put it on pancakes or crepes.
- Jewelweeds – Handcrafted green design for the home.
- The Finders Keepers, “independent design & art markets founded in Sydney, that supports new and emerging independent design.” Their blog is tops!
- Desire Lines jewelry, dream away!

Holly

I understand what you’re going through – my hard disk with my photo archive was partly formatted by software malfunction and I am still trying to recover photographs from the last 5 years…

Country Living is really hitting the ball out of the park lately! I love that their aesthetic seems to be a little more contemporary than in years past. And a Country Living store? Come to mama!

Didn’t know how addicted I was to your blog til it went down…you should have seen me going through frantic withdraws… I think I refreshed your site like 20 times an hour, and kept calling friends to try it on their computers just in case mine was slower or something. lol.
I’m sooooo happy to see you back, Holly!!!
Love the picture. Office + Closet = wow.
And how have I never heard of Little Paper Planes???? LOVE IT!!!
