And a happy Saturday to you! We are in the throes of a serious heat wave and I am personally so over it, I want 70’s, no humidity and cool breezes..is that too much to ask? I cannot believe that 51% of the country has been experiencing this heat wave…it seems unprecedented and a little frightening the way we are shattering records all over the place! My utmost respect goes to those who are having to brave these temperatures on the job, such as the firefighters, construction workers,etc…..it is admittedly almost too much to imagine doing in these crazy temperatures. ? Fall doesn’t seem like such a horrible four letter word anymore, lol.?
Anyway doing something a little different today.?Whenever I read a post I love, I bookmark it immediately under my file entitled “favorite posts” so that I can go ?back to look at them at a later time to either drool or reference or both. I have accumulated quite the collection as you can imagine, so today I am posting several random posts from some of my favotite blogs (even one of my own that I can’t help but love) don’t mean for it to be or sound egotistical, its just the pictures in it that I love and the way they “take me away’. So thought you might also enjoy checking ?out some of these favorite picks too. (As you can see by my labeling this post “part 1” there will be more to come in the future). ?Let me know what you think..have a favorite? Love to know! Enjoy your Saturday and stay cool!?
So have a look, would love to know if you enjoyed any of these as much as I have. I will definitely do this again as I have so many wonderful posts saved and would love to share….. this is just a drop in the bucket!! Enjoy your Saturday……
Uh-oh, here goes another half an hour to blog reading! I’m happy to see you’ve included one of your own, because your blog usually “takes me away” – have a great weekend!
Tina, Thank you so much for this nice mention! I can’t wait to visit these beautiful blogs. Can’t wait to get back home and go through the photos of the updates on your house. Getting close! Have a great Saturday. Teresa xoxo
You want me to pick? Are you kdding me? What and tick off all my “friends” in blogland? Well…being as it is YOUR blog-of course I love your own post-but you already knew that…and there are several that I really adore…but the one that caught my eye and made me smile is the litte Willow Decor cottage…and that’s where I’m going right now-so there! xo Diana
ps..I love Amy’s over at Maison Decor too-she is such a sweetie and so talented~
Wow this looks promising and something that might be keeping me busy for the next hour. Great, another thing to keep me on the computer 🙂 I love the little teaser pictures, am going to go check them out, thank you for this post, what a great idea,Tina!
Hello Tina: What a treasure trove of decorating gems you have selected for us. Many of these are completely unknown to us so we shall have a merry time exploring.
It’s like candy for the weekend! Thanks so much for including one of my posts in there! It’s totally not egotistical to include one of your own posts as a favorite, especially since the whole point of your blog is to share beautiful things that you love! I can’t wait to devour all of these treats!
will have to check out all these wonderful posts..thanks for sharing…and fabulous interview with Greet…she is such a fine and genuine person… hope you are staying cool in this terrible heat.. maureen
I finally have time to sit down and read some blogs, it;s been so crazy particularly with school out. Thanks for this great roundup!! Makes it easier for me!!!
Thank you for such a lovely line-up. They are equally wonderful for different reasons. The one that spoke to me this morning was Anita, castles and crowns. What lovely words and imagery, it took me away!!! Kathysue
This is such temptation for Saturday morning with so many many things on my to do list. I took a peek at bell claire house and see what a treat this visit is going to be. I’ll go at my work full speed knowing what a treat this post is going to be when I finish. Always look forward to your post. Better than getting Veranda in the mail………
These are some of my favorite types of posts! It’s like being at a party and meeting new friends, or learning something new about an old friend! Thank you Tina, for a great get-together!!!! xo
I am behind this morning since my COMPUTER DIED OUT ON ME YESTERDAY,leaving me to scramble and go out and buy a new laptop….this morning, I finished my post only to find YOU had come, and surprised me with this honor. To be amongst these talented writers and designers is such a joy and I am truly grateful for the mention!!! THANK YOU,MERCI MILLE FOIS for you are so generous! I LOVE ALL OF THESE POSTS YOU HAVE SHOWN, of the ones I am fortunate to have seen. But there are a few that I MUST SEE!
Enjoy your day; we had a big storm move in here today and blew our neighbor’s patio umbrella INTO OUR NEW WINDOW!!!!!
Tina, this is a great way to beat the heat! You’ve given us lots of wonderful posts to enjoy today while staying indoors. Can’t wait to check them out. You have chosen some of our favorites! Wishing you a cool day! Angela and Renee
Tina, you are so sweet to include my post….I was so surprised and happy! And you picked my favorite post, too. I remember a few of the others, but I haven’t seen a few of these yet. I can’t wait to go look. I love every post you have ever done, so I’m sure these will play prominent roles in my inspiration file. This is a wonderful idea for a post….as usual! I can’t wait to see Part II! Xo Stacy
Oh My Word Tina!! You have invented a new type of blogging I think. Never seen anyone have their own version of the New York Times Best Seller List of Blog Posts!! ~~~and I am one of the ones you loved just makes me feel great! What a great way to introduce a lot of new to me blogs…and on the weekends when we have time to relax and really dig in! I am headed to Willow Decor first (because I want to build a stone shed) and then I am headed to Pretty Pink Tulips for some fantasizing, and then over to Euro Antiques…next to see the prettiest rooms at Conspicuous Style…it will be cocktail time by the time I get to your post on Napa!
Thank you so much for including us in your “pretty posts to ponder”, and love the idea!! There are so many beautiful blogs, and we love getting to explore some that are new to us!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and try to stay cool ~
There are elements to all these images that give me pause. What a lovely round-up of great photos and great bloggers. I just came in from being in the heat all day…time to sit on the sofa and do a little blogging. I’ve been spending most of my days in the sun paddleboarding…I’m so hooked!
Tina, thanks so much for including me in your first Pretty Posts to Ponder! I am beyond honored that you personally bookmarked my post, but to be listed with all these amazing blogs puts me over the moon! I can’t wait for your next installment!
Wow – thanks for sharing these amazing posts. I am going to book mark this so I can read all of them. Looks like there are some amazing blogs here…all of the new to me.
Tina! I have been out of pocket all day and just popped on. You have literally made my week! Thank you for always supporting my blog and I am so flattered by your inclusion in this list of amazing blogs. Thank you, thank you! M.
Tina, I don’t know how you do it! Managing a family, building a castle, power blogging and always taking the time to be supportive of your friends. Now that is very inspirational my friend.
Thank you for including me together with so many great bloggers.
I got together with Marianne (Style For Living) 3 hours ago (!) and who did we talk about? YOU! We are both going gaga over your home!!!
I am off to a fancy party but I will send you a separate e-mail over the weekend.
Tina, What an honor to be included in this first round of mentions!! 🙂 I am looking forward to sitting down and going through every one…b/c if you love them, I know I will too!!!
Hi there! Just wondering if you have posted any additional photos of your house project since you took the one above in the right margin? Would love to see what you are up to these days. xx A
What a fabulous idea and wonderfeul selection of pictures. Its very hard to choose, but I think the Belclaire House and Euro Antique Market speak to me the most. I loved that muted French style. Have a wonderful day and I look forward to Part 2. x Sharon
It’s funny that you included the first blog post (not just the first blog, but also the exact same post) that I ever read (Euro Antique Market). After reading it I saved it as my favorite. Of course since then I’ve added many more favorites. Many are some of the same ones you have here and an overwhelming majority of them are yours. Some blogs you have here I was not aware of, so I will check them out. Thanks!
Oh Tina thank you so, so much I am thrilled to have been featured on your Pretty Posts list! I have also discovered other blogs I can’t wait to see more of. Warmest wishes – Glenda xxxx
Wow this is an amazing lineup of posts. It is going to take me awhile to get through them but so far love the one on paint since i am painting serveral rooms and the one on the artist..what a talent! I love that you did this and hopefully will continue.
Thank you so much for including my post on the Storms’ home! I am off to enjoy some time visiting the other blogs that you have recommended. Thank you again Tina!!!
These are all very talented and lovely bloggers. I’ll get great enjoyment out of visiting each one. Thanks for bookmarking some of the best posts. Mona
Too many lovely posts to pick one favourite, although the Phoebe Howard pool house is up there. Only just go around to reading them as I’ve been so swamped with tap decisions!
Oh what a great idea to do this but not good that I have just discovered it as I am (read that now as was) off to bed. I shall really enjoy visitng these bookmarked blogs.

What a fun idea, Tina! I loved that french home exterior – gave me some great dream house ideas!
These are some of my favorite types of posts! It’s like being at a party and meeting new friends, or learning something new about an old friend! Thank you Tina, for a great get-together!!!! xo
Wow I love this- thanks so much for sharing- I can’t wait to check these links out. Have a fabulous Saturday and try to stay cool- I hate this heat!!!

Those are really worth bookmarking…
I just can’t get enough of those lovely design blogs, there are times I regret having spent too much time in front of a computer.
Tina, you are so sweet to include my post….I was so surprised and happy! And you picked my favorite post, too. I remember a few of the others, but I haven’t seen a few of these yet.
