Starting a blog is something I've wanted to do for some time, but could not figure out a good topic. Each time I would think of a genre of blog, I would find one already being written that I loved. So then I thought, how do people find blogs? I've just found them using Facebook or randomly clicking through the cyber-world. At first I thought, who cares? Then I realized that people care, for the same reason I care, because it is interesting to get a glimpse into the lives of others or find new people, places or things to love. There is nothing about the blogs that I read that is similar, sure some of them have some over lap, but others have nothing in common. Yet I find things on these blogs that are new and refreshing thoughts or products.
I've used Facebook and email to share these ideas and blogs with friends. While I don't always have time to read my favorite blogs daily and I'm sure neither do my friends, I thought if I post highlights, then people can get a cliff notes of the best posts I've read each week. Also I figured I might throw in some of my own favorite things from time to time.
I found this whimsical blog template from one of my favorite blogs: Monograms and Martinis: The Adventures of KGB. I met KGB when I lived in NYC. She has an obsession for anything monogrammed and preppy.
Also because it is the holidays I thought I would share my favorite card/stationary designer: KOCO New York and the fantastic e-card site koco new york ecards!
