My latest batch of Hermes Scarves from AW 2012 and SS 2013 Part 1

Before I start, I just wanted to remind you that next Monday is the end of Google Reader.  I only just discovered it but I already have got quite attached to it in the short time.  I have noticed that there are quite a few new ways to follow your blogs.

I won't bore you but these are the following choices you may be wanting to change to and if you wish to continue following 
Coulda Shoulda Woulda.

Bloglovin' or via Facebook

But there are other channels like
Feedly, The Old Reader, Newsfire, and even on Flipboard.
I don't know how this will affect blog rolls but I am sure it will be fine. We have all lived to tell the tale of the Millenium bug right?

One of the things I collect is Hermes scarves.

It's a bonus that I can wear them.

As I am in a slump of mojo attire, I depend more on ever on my scarves to jazz up and polish off a simple shirt and trouser.

When I purchase my scarves, I have my own methodology as 
I wrote about here.  



I also look at it from a perspective of potentially framing as art for the wall or even a cushion cover!

I finally won something.

The multi-talented Heather from the blog Lost in Arles kindly bestowed the Liebster award to me last week.  For those who like to read, I would highly suggest a visit. She writes beautifully and those who think it is only to do with France and all things French - it's not.  France is purely incidental on her blog.

I was rather chuffed about it and more than happy to accept the baton from her.

It was quite good timing as well as today is the 6 month anniversary for this blog.

In some ways, I can't believe it has even lasted this long.  Time has just flown by and I can't believe how much I have learned since I started; not only technical things like RSS ( still don't know what that means but at least now I know it pertains blogging ) but also blogosphere anthropology.  Truth be told, there have been quite a few times when I was going to quit but I realized I wouldn't be proving a point to anyone or anything so I kept going even when my stats were 0.  But I have "met" and discovered so many wonderful and interesting writers out there that I am so happy I decided to start my own blog.
