Good-bye.....

For various reasons I have decided not to carry on with this blog. I would like to thank everybody who has been reading it up to now especially Anairam from fra(a)iing, Kendalee from Dance of a Painted Lady, Linda Sue from All I Ever Wanted, Lynne from love dream live at home, Denise from Mormar, Corinne fom Hidden in France and Mila from Loveology. You guys always gave me special encouragement with your fabulous comments and I enjoy catching up with you on your blogs, and reading your blogs. I'll still be reading your blogs and hopefully keeping in touch.

I have started a fashion blog in the meantime (not the reason I'm giving up this blog), I'm not sure that fashion is everyone's cup of tea, but if you'd like to check it out it's called FashionAbility, and the link is here.

I might start another creative/inspiration type of blog in the not too distant future focusing on journal art, with my photography and other photography I enjoy.....something along those lines. If you'd like me to keep you informed, please do drop me me a mail, I'll keep this blog's mail address open and will check in also incase anyone wants to keep in touch with me.

Thanks again to everyone who has followed my ramblings, and also to all the wonderful blogs on my blogroll for all the amazing inspiration you so generously share.

I'll leave you with one last fabulous link, for anyone who enjoys classic vintage fashion photography, make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, and prepare to disppear for a few hours into the world of Agent Lee which I have loved doing in some of my spare moments since I discovered it a couple of months ago. The link is here.

NOOOOOOOOOO! Oh dang, girl I LOVE your blog so much, your journals are LIFE to me! Your pictures of Joburg and your niche are like elixer! SHITE! Fashion smashion! EVERYBODY does that- only you have that wonderful Bronwyn voice and eye for what is around you! Goodbye- no, won't have it! This blog is such a thing of beauty and inspiration! Fashion, not so much- If your mind is already made up (why?) then I thank you for all of the wonderful posts! Perhaps you could keep it for a couple more weeks just so I could get my fill of past postes- You are adored!

Ouch!!!

But I understand. Blogs brings us here they bring us, and when the heart is not in it anymore there is nothing wrong with moving on. Thank you for the inspiration, and thank you for keeping your blog open.

I'm not too bitter since I will now be reading your other blog!

Hugs,

corine
