Romantic Homes Blogs To Make You Swoon


Don''t you LOVE this 
magazine?
Romantic Homes
The name says it all.
I let most of my subscriptions lapse,
but this is one I can't bear to lose.
Guess what?
This month in the very front of
the magazine are blogs that I
follow and love!
Because I am a contrary person,
I am going to list them backwards
from the way they are listed in
Romantic Homes.
Okay mainly because that is the way 
they loaded and I am too lazy
to go back and redo them.
Thus-without further ado
we have Donna @
We have been friends since
we both started blogging 
about the same time.
I just love this girl...AND...
she goes to Paris regularly...
the brat
Next we have my sweet friend,
Julie Marie @Idyllhours.
She is just a wonderful person that
surrounds herself with beauty.
Next we have busy, talented Debi@
Homeward Found Decor.
I found her just a couple off months
ago and really enjoy her blog.
And last, but certainly  not least
is the talented shop owner, 
Pamela @ From My Front Porch To Yours.
You will find many beautiful things 
visiting her.
If you DON'T already know these gals,
go visit them.
You'll be glad you did.

Meanwhile, if you want some
more eye candy you can enjoy
THIS!

And you have a nice day now,
you hear?

    Diana, you're too funny! Holy cow how'd you like to crawl into bed with that? Eek! Anyway, I have to say I haven't had the pleasure of visiting any of your friends' blogs yet, but bully for them that they are in a magazine! Yay! I'll be visiting them soon and will tell them my friend Diana sent me. :) Have a great week. I'm so glad you're feeling better!

    The whacky woman is back and you have been missed. I will go check out the other 2 blogs today. Already know the glitter chick.
    Love a hairy man, but that just might be too much, but he might snuggle good in this freezing weather. Like sleeping with an old bear.
    My grandpa was hairy, but not quite like that- almost, though.

    Well, I can see you are feeling better. LOL LOL

    Love this month's RH with our precious friends and their fabulous blogs. I have been friends with our Julie Marie it seems like forever and she is such a dearheart and wonderful lady inside and out. So talented and a wonderful writer.
    And, I met sweet Donna last year and she is just precious too and so very talented with her designs. She is a kindred spirit for sure.

    Everyone in this issue is special and so talented. I am so happy for all these ladies and their site seeing feature.
    So sweet of you to post about this too. But, it is just like you to do something so nice for others.

    So happy you are feeling better my friend. Stay well and take good care.
    hugs, Celestina Marie

He's in a state of horror thinking that purrhaps this man-thing has more fur than he does. You'll need to comfort the Romeo on this one.....
