Welcome to new followers - and yes I have noticed the number is at 400+ so maybe it's party time

I'm always happy to see new faces pop up on my Followers list  and where I can I like to return the visit and see your blogs too.  Quite often recently when I go to the profile page of new Followers there is no blog showing which means that I can't repay your visit.  If you've joined my blog over the past few weeks and you have a blog that I haven't been by and left a comment there then please check your profile settings - and please leave a comment here that includes your blog address so that I don't miss out on dropping by to see what you're doing :)

At the time of posting the Followers number has nudged over 400 so there could well be a giveaway announcement shortly to celebrate and to say "thanks for dropping by" - watch this space!! 

An overdue welcome

A sincere welcome and thanks for your interest in my blog to all of you who have joined me here over the past few weeks. I hope you will continue to find something of interest :)

I moved my Followers 'log' to the top of the page when newcomers were disappearing quickly from my sidebar in order to give more time for visitors to MMM to click on your icons and discover your blogs. However there are some of you for whom I can't find blogs on your profiles so if your name is in this list please leave a comment here so that we know where to visit you (and perhaps make an alteration to your Blogger profile).

Oh dear, sorry about that...

I missed a few of you in my WELCOME message! :( I'm so sorry, I forgot to check the 'beginning' of my followers list where all those with 'blank' profile photos are automatically placed by the 'computer brain' that controls such things. I suddenly had one of those 'lightbulb' moments about it in the middle of the night.

So to Carolyn (@ fabshabbyroses.blogspot.com), Jonna (@ rudoo-buggaboos.blogspot.com, Vane, tinystuffs and Marika "thanks for stopping by my blog" and please forgive my bad manners!

I should also add that there is no blog info showing on your profiles (I'm familiar with Carolyn and Jonna's blogs so knew where to find them) but you might want to check that out. Vane, tinystuffs and Marika if you have blogs please leave a comment here so that we can find you!

I hope I haven't left out anyone else!

A rather overdue WELCOME!

I feel a bit like the Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe in the nursery rhyme who had so many children she didn't know what to do. So many of you have taken me by surprise 'following' my blog while I've been largely away from the internet for the past few weeks that I have a similar dilemma. I really appreciate each and every one of you taking the time to stop by my blog and so I want to mention you all by name by way of a 'personal welcome' (where your blogs/websites are showing on your profiles I won't mention them here).

So here goes! - *deep breath* - A big welcome to Moni, Hanna and Leijona, Maria, Jamie, Anneke, Claudia, Karin, Mincka, Marlies, Doreen, Minikat, Ana, Lori, Christine H, Carey, Jose, Monika, Asuka, Eva, Christel, Daisy, CM @ My Realitty, Jody, Teresa, Anna and Hannah. Also to Sabiha (@ sabsminiinteriors.blogspot.com) and Melissa (@ missemouse.blogspot.com) whose blogs I know and love but are not showing on their proflies here.

Welcome also to genevieve, lutjeboudel, miniaturemaid, and christine - there are no blogs showing on your profiles - if you do have blogs please leave a comment here because I'd like to come visit :)

Welcome to my blog!

I've been inspired by so many vintage decor and miniature blogs recently I thought it was about time I produced one of my own to share what's going on in my mini-world (although I must admit it's often not a great deal!), and also the (snail pace) real world renovation of our little much loved cottage in New Zealand (it's a slow job when we only get to go there for a few short weeks a year).

So please drop by from time to time, and leave me a note!
