The Award I'm Going to Award

I'm so excited...Shannon over at EightCrazy Design designed a wonderful custom button for the new award that I'm going to give as I feel so inspired. Here it is!

I'm discovering new blogs that I enjoy reading everyday and sometimes I read things that just tickle me to no end and I say to myself....now that gal is a Southern Belle. Southern Belleness transcends geography....it is a philosophy...a state of mind...style and substance...wit and charm...joy and sunshine...grit and determination...love...respect, and so much more.

I don't know how often I'll give the award...but I can tell you that I'm going to give the first one....TA DAH....right now.

I read a post on July 17, by P over at Life is Better With A...Cute Outfit. She threw the most amazing birthday party for her daughter complete with a pink limousine, and they Partied Like ROCK STARS. I left her a comment then and there that she was going to get the first award as soon as it was ready so P...Congratulations on being the FIRST recipient of the Southern Belle Award. Readers...mosey on over and see what it's all about.

There are several contenders for the next round, but I'm going to have to sign off until Sunday night. We leave bright and early tomorrow morning to move Legare to his new apartment in beautiful Chapel Hill, NC.

Stay tuned! More awards to come soon!

  4. Hello Belle
    Thanks so much for stopping by the Back Porch. I hope you return often.

    I believe I'm a Southern Belle, at heart. I saw your note about Pawleys Island. I'm going to see if I can locate a copy. I also noted on your "read this" list, Pat Conroy. Absolutely love everything he's written and have read many, again and again!

    Of course Sweetgrass baskets made in the Low Country of SC! I have a couple of small ones, picked up on our trip to Charleston, three years ago. I long to return to SC. We had a lovely time, there.

    I feel like we've "met" online somewhere. You seem familiar. Lovely blog.

    Pat
