    Shellagh, Congratulations on your well deserved awards! Thank you so much for including me in your list of 12 inspiring bloggers. It is a total honor to be chosen and to be among that great group.
    If it makes you feel any better - I feel the exact same way about being in my 40's. The mind feels 29, the body - not so much! All the best, Lori

    Wonderful blog site...
    Oh! and by the way?? How come I cannot find great linens at the Goodwill like you did. The mattlasse is chic to the shabby. I will keep my eyes on your site...I enjoyed every bit of the inspiration you have passed on.
