Where the Lovely Things Are

I was on twitter the other day and saw much hoohah about Altsummit, a blog summit based in Salt Lake City. Altsummit is dedicated to the blogging world and many of the craft and design big hitters were there including Oh Joy, SFGirlbybay, Once Wed, Snippet & Ink, Designsponge, Creature Comforts and Sweet Paul - some of my favourite blogs to go to for inspiration . The aim of the summit is to help bloggers grow their site, learn more about funding their site and keeping it one step ahead of the rest. From the tweets I saw, it sounded like a resounding success and looked like a perfect place for meeting like-minded folk. Shame we don't have anything like that here. Or do we and I don't know about it?

Whilst looking at all things Altsummit, I came across Altsummit's list of up and coming blogs which is a bit of a dangerous thing - see, I already spend too much time lurking about on the interest looking at pretty pictures, and now there are even more reasons to waste time! I haven't visited every blog on the list yet, but a few I have visited before and are firm favourites and fully deserve their place on the list are Where The Lovely Things Are, Bedlam of Beefy and SeeSaw all of which I can heartily recommend. So make yourself a cuppa and get settled because you could be gazing at pretty pics for a while!

Blog of the week

..is normally on a Friday but I've been a bit lax over the last couple of weeks, so I'm doing an extra one this week. Craftsville is a pretty new website and the joint venture of Helen Entwhistle of Hello Memo and her pal Michelle. Its a great site featuring tutorials, giveaways, whats on listings, opportunities, reviews and even more! Sarah, our talented Craft Candy founder, has a post on there this week showing you how to make your own fabric banners for fairs

Blog of the Week

This week's blog of the week is Decor8. I'm pretty sure you will all have heard of this blog as its one of the big hitters, design-wise, but just in case you haven't, then make Decor8 your next port of call. I can pretty much guarantee it will instantly become one of your daily reads, as it has mine for the last few years and also many thousands of other people too, all eager to see what lovely finds Holly will have unearthed each day.

This week's blog of the week is the fabulous Design Sponge. I've been a regular reader of this blog for a good couple of years now. I can't believe it has been going since 2004. Well, its certainly earned its great reputation for offering up great inspiration every day. It certainly cheers me up and makes me feel inspired again when i go and check it out after a hard day at work.

This blog, which i'm sure you will already be familiar with, is choc full of great DIY ideas, amazing furniture revamps with before and after snaps, detailed city guides for the craftily curious, gorgeous recipes, sneak peeks around some lovely homes and much much more.

Blog of the Week

This week's botw is the fantastic Wee Birdy.  I think I must be a bit behind the times blog-wise as I somehow missed Wee Birdy's blog until a couple of weeks ago.  And you don't need to take my word for how good it is as Wee Birdy has won a place in the 50 top blogs in the WORLD by the Times Online and it is in the Sunday Times 100 top blogs in the world too.  Anyway, now I have found this fantastic blog I feel I should share it with you, just in case you've been living in the dark ages like me and somehow missed it before!  Wee Birdy is written by the shopping and style deputy editor for Time Out London, an Australian who currently lives in the UK.  The blog features british designers, places to go, places to eat and more.
