Because you can only add so many blogs to your reader, I thought I’d revisit a few favourites today with some posts that I’ve bookmarked for later reading, reminding and responding. These in particular come from the starred folder in my Google Reader [I'm can't give it up yet, still living in denial].

  1. Julie [tractorgirl] promised me her ciabatta recipe and this week she delivered. Can’t wait to try it this weekend.
  2. Love Bri’s [designlovefest] advice on thinking of original ideas
  3. Watching Susannah [ink on my fingers] talk about your finding your way online. “Forget the wisdom.” Such great advice.
  4. Yummm ~ espresso mini muffins with chocolate ganache [tasty kitchen]
  5. Thinking about starting a productivity journal [time management ninja]

PS. You’ll have to excuse my tardiness today, have been investigating the new flickr ~ have you checked it out?

Last time I asked you to tell me who was in your neighbourhood, and tell me some of your favourite blogs. And now I have some new addresses to explore.

So first up, no surprises why I was drawn to Melissa’s suggestion Carla Coulson from Carla Loves Photography. One, photography, and two, Melissa had great things to say about her.

Carla Coulson is living the dream ~ making the switch to full-time photographer, travelling and now living in Paris.

Now she runs workshops, does portrait sessions and magazine work, and sells some of prints in her shop [you can see some of them above]. And blogs.

She also has a fantastic blogroll which I look forward to making my way through as well.

who’s in your neighbourhood?

red goes faster

Throwing it over to you today to tell me who’s in your neighbourhood.

I haven’t added many new reads to my list lately so I’m asking you to hit me with your favourite blog right now [because like most things this can wax and wane with the seasons].

It might be a blog, it might be one post, it might be your blog. Maybe a friend has started a new blog or you’ve recently stumbled over something fantastic.

Share a link or shout-out in the comments. I’m always on the lookout for fresh inspiration.

With the ink that runs through my veins ~ I come from a line of writerly types ~ it’s no surprise that I love words.

Hence my infatuation with this recent addition to my blog list: otherwordly. And yes, I’ve already mentioned it a few times lately.

The name Otherwordly comes from ‘otherworldly’, something strange and lovely. So this blog is about strange and lovely words. Sometimes those are words from other languages that can’t be translated. Sometimes they’re words for feelings we’ve felt but never been able to name. Sometimes they’re just words that sound good.

The somewhat anonymous female blogger behind otherwordly is a creative writing major from California.

Did you know there was a word for the rumble of distant thunder? And how romantic is the word redamancy?
