I do not have twitter, so I really appreciate you posting these here. I visit everyone:) thanks
Twitter terrifies me! But I love this digest. Thank you two for so much interesting reading every day.
I do follow you guys on twitter & facebook, but I probably miss stuff, so I like this feature, too. I love your blog, never know what will turn up but always learn something new!
Sunday's Breakfast links are fast becoming my favorite blog email! Fabulous finds. Thank you! Ya'll are the best!
Though I follow you on twitter too, I also miss these things most of the time.
I looked at that house. Gorgeous, but all the modern furniture inside rather destroys the ambiance for me. If I'm going to have an historic home like that, I'm more inclined to want to dress the inside accordingly.
I am hopeless with twitter so I really love these posts. I spend way too much time following up links and buying books mentioned on this site :)
