Have you guys read Holly’s post on Decor8 about giving shout outs to bloggers you love? I think that being supportive of other bloggers is super important, so I wanted to join in too.
You guys already know some of the people that I love in blogland, and some of the blogs that I read every day. People who curate art like they were doing it just for me, and online shops that have creative blogs worthy of standing alone as a separate business. Today I want to share some of my favorites that I haven’t mentioned yet or haven’t mentioned often enough in relation to their importance to me.
Jeremy & Kathleen
Huh? What? You said these were blogs you haven’t mentioned! Go back and look again. Jeremy & Kathleen falls into the second category.
If you have any doubt how much I love this blog, just ask my husband. He’d say something like, “Kathleen this, Kathleen that…”. I love Kathleen. I don’t know Jeremy, but I’m sure I’d love him too. I love Tara and Braid Creative.
Kathleen, you are incredibly smart and talented. Even better? You’re not afraid to be KATHLEEN. I have a lot of love, respect, and bloghugs for you.
Scout
Oh, Jenn Blake. I love you and I love Scout. I’ve loved following your journey, on your blog and through conversations in person, to creating the kind of life that you really want. The one that is authentically Jenn. You have impeccable taste and creativity. You can style shoots like nobody’s business and you’re an awesome writer. A big bloghug for you!
The Fresh Exchange
The first time that I mentioned Megan of The Fresh Exchange on my blog was on September 12, 2011. Back when I didn’t post images that were the same width across! Seriously I want to redo my whole blog. No…not seriously. That would be a huge pain.
Back to Megan. When I first wrote about her, it was for something that she does extremely well…being REAL. I loved this post and she still writes this way, with honesty. Megan, I love what you’re doing – your writing and your design. You’ve done some amazing things in the time that you’ve been working on your creative ventures and you should be so proud of yourself. Sending a big bloghug your way.
The Artful Desperado
Have you met Gabriel of The Artful Desperado? He’s 100% pure awesome. Seriously. It’s says so on the label. You should read labels. What? The Art of Living? Yeah. 100% Pure Awesome Living!
Gabriel, I was so happy to finally meet you in person at Alt this year. I love your blog. Every time I visit I learn something new. There’s always something there to inspire me. You’re an awesome curator and a talented designer. HUGS!
Mrs. Lilien
Mrs. Lilien is the only blogger on this list that I haven’t met in real life. Any idea why I’m so in love with her site?
She is the blog layout queen and a styling genius. Seriously. If I want to see something gorgeous and cheeky, I’m going to Mrs. Lilien.
Mrs. Kelley Lilien, you are fabulous personified. HUGS.
