Thank you to Formerly Known As The Enigmatic Masked Blogger for giving me the Life is Good award and for kindly instructing me on what to do with it. I appreciate it very much.
I'd like to pass on the award to these remarkable bloggers:
Sarah with St Bloggie de Riviere
Happy Frog and I with Happy Frog and I
Dolly with Dolly's Art of Daydreaming
Bth with a little light in london
Joanny with LIVE DREAM LOVE
Five facts about me.
#1. As much as I love Baudelaire I prefer to be in the company of Wodehouse.
#2. I adore the 50s-early60s style even after watching Mad Men.
#3. I've been collecting art, books and French red wines 2005. I know from experience that collecting wine is not an easy task.
#4. I am Russian but I have lived in Toronto for the past 10 years.
#5. I like egoists who live and let live.
I will also go with number 2, Great years. Yep number 3 is difficult, collecting is one thing but trying to keep it is quite another, too easy to drink it :)) Diane
ReplyDeleteOh Olga, I am so touched and to be amongst such company too. Thank you. I love your Five facts idea, and know you just a little more now. If we ever meet we will have lots to talk about that is for sure! I have never watched Mad Men because I was afraid it would take something away from my own dreamy idea of what the 1950's were really like. And, thanks a million (as they say here in Cork).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award Olga, love the five facts you shared.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Olga! I'll have a think about some little known facts about myself.
ReplyDeleteWould love to know more about your Russian past (hint for future meme)!
HI DeanO,
ReplyDeleteI am watching the first season now. I don't have a TV, so I am a little out of touch with popular culture :)
Hi Diane,
Yes, it is very easy to get an impulse to try another bottle of Chardonnay from my collection. Especially when friends come over.
Hi Dolly,
I am looking forward to see your "five".
I have idealized this period because of the beauty of the style. You would be impressed to see the list of the books that I read and own about 1950's. Sorry, I can go on and on. We have definitely lots to talk about.
Hi Lindy,
Thank you. I wish I knew the five facts about you, but your blog is award free :(
Sarah,
It is fun to summarize yourself in these five little facts. I write the first things that popped up in my head without too much of the consideration.
My Russian past.... From you it sounds very mysterious :)
Congrats to you and the new winners! I know nothing about wine, so I'll leave the collecting to you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award and to those you've passed it on to. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
ReplyDeleteI visited Toronto once. If I ever visit again, It would be a pleasure to sit, and eat with you!
LOVE!
Hi Olga, congratulations on the Award!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at The Farm with your comment.
I watch Mad Men too which is in Season 2 here. I like the office setting, but feel pity for Draper's wife and children.
Have not been to Toronto...may be one day, now that I have all the time in the world :)
Congratulations Olga...you are a well deserving blogger! Thank you for stopping by so often...I'm a bit slow at returning visits sometimes. But I do think of you and wish you wellness:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your 5 facts and for bestowing the award on me, I am honoured. I will have a think about my 5. Thanks very much. x
ReplyDeleteThanks... congrats on such Award !
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award. I have to watch Mad Men I hear it is a good show.
ReplyDeleteHi Lydia,
ReplyDeleteThank you! My friends say the same about wine; now they keep coming over and drinking my collectible wine :)
Hi Talli,
Thank you. There's no such thing as too many awards, right?
Hi tywo,
I would love to have dinner with you whenever you're in Toronto.
Hi Grandpa,
Thank you for visiting and commenting. I know that Toronto is far from where you live, but sometimes there are special chances. You're welcome if you can ever make it here.
Hi LauraX,
I always visit your blog with pleasure. Welcome to my blog!
Hi Happy Frog,
It would be very interesting to find out five facts about you. I have a feeling they would be full of surprises :)
Hi Wong,
Thank you; it was quite surprising.
Hi lilylovekin,
Thank you. Mad Men is definitely worth watching. It's very high-quality.
Olga:
ReplyDeleteLovely post, it is always nice to learn about fellow bloggers especially one as nice as you.
Thank you for thinking of me.
It will be a couple of days before I post a response, life has me juggling many events in my small personal sphere.
enjoy your week end,
joanny
Hi Joanny,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week too! I hope everything goes harmoniously. I'm looking forward to finding out five facts about you :)
