Welcome to the nouveau riche version of my blog! The 1970s tapestry floral print just had to go, so I enlisted a very lovely lady (Jessica from www.DiamondDollDesign.com) to help me freshen ‘er up. Perhaps it was the previous lack of fanciness and pastel colors that caused me such distaste, but golly, I sure am LOVING the new look. It’s amazing what a splash of color and good design can do. I think it looks like the inside of one of those houses they feature inSouthern Living. You know; those gorgeous, professionally interior decorated houses that those women claim to have created all by themselves. When really, we all know they’ve got a designer on a permanent retainer to do the real work, and all they probably did was fluff a few pillows. Anyway, I digress.
In addition to the new look, I’ve got a few new bells and whistles to tell y’all about.
My first new whistle is my handy little list of links up above this post.
Now, you can click on my “Cookbook” page to see a listing of all the links to all my stolen recipes. If you reference my first ever blog post, you’ll notice that I disclose (rather plainly) that I don’t come up with my own recipes. However, I’m quite the connoisseur of FINDING good recipes and sharing them with y’all. I guess you could call me an acquisitioner of sorts. I acquire recipes from other places, try them out and post the good ones (with my notes, of course).
The next link of interest is the “Y’all Need This” page. This is the most exciting of my new additions and is devoted to the things I am currently IN LOVE with. That gotta-have-it, can’t-live-without-it kind of love that you only get from finding something truly magnificent. I also REALLY like getting a good deal so most of the stuff on here is gonna be cheap, or at the very least, MAJORLY on sale. My keen shopping/deal finding abilities are the way I am able to afford a mostly J.Crew and Banana Republic wardrobe on my measly corporate peon paycheck.
Whether it’s a new color of nail polish, new piece of jewelry or some fancy thing-a-ma-jig that’ll revolutionize your life, I’m going to plan on posting at least one thing that y’all need per month. Maybe more… depending on how often I’ve been able to go shopping.
The next two links are the boring ones: “About Me” and “Contact”. Woopty. It’s that normal, run of the mill stuff that every blog has to have. Other new additions are those cute little gray buttons on the top of the sidebar. Now you can click to follow me on twitter, shoot me an email, or sign up for my RSS feed. And feel free to share my blog with your friends! Sharing is caring, y’all!
Leave your comments and let me know what you think! Hopefully you enjoy the new look and features of the blog. I know I’m dang excited about it!
Oh… and HAPPY FOURTH, Y’ALL!
