More Awards!

I've been given 2 more of the "Stylish Blogger Award"! These 2 were given to me by my friend La Dama at Vintage Passions just like mine and the sweet Fraulein Lin at Vintage Rose. Thank you ladies! I appreciate it very much. I don't want to bore anyone with 7 more things about myself so you can skip to the post from 1/11/11 to read it.

A lovely Blog Award

I was given this lovely award by Kate at Vintage in a Modern World. I feel honored and thrilled to receive this lovely award by a fellow blogger and vintage lover as myself. Thanks so much Kate!
Now, the conditions of this award are:
1)Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2)Share 7 things about yourself
3)Award 10 recently discovered great bloggers
4)Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award


Here are the 7 things about myself:
1)As a teen I discovered Jerry Lewis movies through my father who was a huge fan. I developed a crush on him when I saw "The Nutty Professor"!



2)I love the ocean! Give me the beach any day and you will see me smile. I wish I could live in a tropical place (see the title of my blog? LOL!) and be near the ocean. There is just something about it that gives me peace and tranquility. And what about the sunsets? *SIGH*



3)I'm not a photographer or model but I love taking pictures and editing them for fun!
I get kind of shy though of posting my pics on my blog! (go figure!)



4)I've always been interested in aliens and the world of the paranormal.
Currently I love to watch "Ancient Aliens" on the History Channel, "The Haunted" on the Animal Planet, and "I Survived, Beyond and Back" on the Biography Channel.
I'm also fascinated with the shows on Investigation Discovery!



5)My first vintage inspiration was Marilyn Monroe when I was a teen. She's the reason I still wear red lipstick til this day!



6)I'm still practicing knitting. One day I'll knit a sweater from a 1940's pattern.
7)I love to collect vintage purses and have a few. I would love to get more (much to DH's horror) but right now I have no more room. I still have yet to get a lucite purse!

Well, that's enough about me! Here are the 10 recently discovered great bloggers that I chose (in no particular order):

Vintage Passions Just like mine
The Adventures of Lucy-Mae
Piroska and the Wolf
!Viva Victoria Vintage!
Poppy Lane
Vintage Rose
Miss Rosina Lee
Penny Lane
Jemma Rose
Through the looking glass


All lovely & stylish bloggers and I hope they accept the award and pass it on.

Breakfast at Tiffany's award!

I'm speechless! Yet another award by the beautiful Miss Go Lightly. She's a huge Audrey Hepburn fan and of course loves Breakfast at Tiffany's (who doesn't? Audrey is fabulous!). So she decided to create this wonderful award because in her own words it "represents the feeling that Miss Go Lightly gets when she visits Tiffany's", which is utter happiness! Awww! I love it Miss Go Lightly!. Thanks so much. Your blog makes me feel the same.
"There aren't any 'real' rules to this award. Simply bestow it upon as many blog writers who make YOU feel like you are at Tiffany's! and if you would like to take it a step further, briefly state why these particular blogs make you feel like you are at Tiffany's. If not, then simply list them. Oh, and of course don't forget to copy and save the award :)"

I would like to pass on this award to:

My very first blog award!

This is my very first blog award. I'm so thrilled. Thanks to my sweet friend Birdie at Soldier's Lady for thinking of me. You have to check out her blog, she's funny, classy, she's a mom like me and she's a Soldier's Lady. What more can you ask for?

"The rules for said award are to thank the bestower (check) and list seven things about yourself."

I'm supposed to write 7 things about myself, but since my previous post was listing things about myself also, I'll count that one for this.
