BUT, you should know that this site is where I go to when I find no one beside me.. it gives me a very content feeling, satisfaction, and leaves in me alot of admiration of your work.<BR/>Recently, I started redecorating my bedroom - slowly and still - so I get ALOT of great tips from you, plus I enjoy everything posted here.

Since I am stuck in NE-- and without a car to even get out of town to boot--I enjoy reading about what you've been up to and what is happening in Oakland, CA. I guess it's the only way I can do any 'sightseeing'. I'm art-starved--not much of that around here. (Although it is very calm around here.)

I love this blog too and read it basically every day. I actually get palpably sad when I see your "over and out" posts on Fridays! I've posted comments a couple of times, which is saying something, because I've actually never commented on any other blog. Maybe I don't comment more here because I relish my role as reader--I get to be a passive consumer of the beautiful things you curate for us every day, and that's part of the fun.Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01635307233352650324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-64419992875720837762008-08-10T10:23:00.000-07:002008-08-10T10:23:00.000-07:00I read you through Bloglines and have never commen...I read you through Bloglines and have never commented because I am very lazy with the "give" part of the give and take relationship between blogger and reader. I'm usually flipping through lots of sites in quick succession with a newborn in my lap, which doesn't led itself to commenting. The only time I really comment is when someone asks for advice and I feel like I have something valuable to say. Or if there's a contest, but I am sheepish admitting that. I think your site is wonderful, I love it, and I always leave feeling happy and like my visit was worthwhile and I'm sure hundreds of other lurkers feel the same way :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362169118816222361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-53807060274617441692008-08-09T12:19:00.000-07:002008-08-09T12:19:00.000-07:00lurk. lurk. lurk. but i'm new. so am i excused? lo...lurk. lurk. lurk. but i'm new. so am i excused? love your blog. am obsessed with etsy. and i heart juno. but i respectfully respect differences of opinions (most of the time). :)bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087485802021713460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-58951005993029923832008-08-09T10:29:00.000-07:002008-08-09T10:29:00.000-07:00I'm another lazybones that uses a reader.

Here's the problem: So what if they're "lazy"? <BR/><BR/>You can sweat out a six-hour research project on Milo Baughman and still bore the tears out of your readers. Meanwhile, someone posting a three-word post about bacon brings in over 70 comments. What accounts for the difference? It's like being at a great party: you can't explain how it comes together, or what made the chemistry so good. And you can't guarantee it with "hard work." It's in good part due to the host being generous, and funny, and open, and and up for anything, and on top of that, being warm and appreciative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-28606026541906933712008-08-07T18:45:00.000-07:002008-08-07T18:45:00.000-07:00I love your blog as well.
