i am thankful for today

Today has been one of those pinch-me days.
1. I received a preview copy of a book by one of my very fave designers -- amazing the joy a PDF can bring!
2. I worked on a super-fun and satisfying project at work.
3. I had a very exciting discussion with 2 colleagues about the infinite possibilities of the year ahead.
4. I received a voice mail message from a complete stranger who happened to see an appearance I made on the Steven & Chris Show on CBC TV giving a tour of my kitchen. She showered me with compliments and kind words about my work and my enthusiasm. She had a lovely accent and said I "set her pulse afire" with my work and my passion. Wow!
5. I saw beautiful things in one of the best shops in town.
6. I listened to the latest podcast at The Skirted Round Table. Do you know about The Skirted Round Table? It's a series of podcasts by three of the best bloggers: Megan Arquette from Beach Bungalow 8, Linda Merrill of Surroundings and Joni Webb of Cote de Texas. By all means, go visit them, read their blogs etc etc. (well, silly me, I'm sure you already do know them!). But, please, you must must must listen to this chat with Stephen Drucker, editor in chief of House Beautiful. Click here.
7. Just received a call that my beloved husband has dinner made and waiting.

Out of the blue compliments from strangers are amazing, aren't they? They somehow feel more real than those from people who know us. I hope your whole week turns out to be a "pinch me" one!
Wow you are on a rolll... Now I missed the Stephen and Chris Show, so I will definitely have to hunt that down on the web. I hope this sets the tone for the entire year for you Margot. All the best in 2010!..

This post makes me truly happy :)
Margot! Isn't Thomas' book stunning?! He showed me the pages (galleys I guess) when we saw him in December - he did all the styling himself and is delightfully proud and enthused about it! When I showed him the feature Brett did with me - he said "This is Margot's magazine, right?" - so cute. Visiting here nearly every day - such a pleasure - don't stop! xoxox Tommy
